Any three coffees brewed on AeroPress, poured for one or two.
Curator’s note
Leon Wansikehian got his start in coffee at Kéan Coffee while studying kinesiology at Cal State Fullerton, then spent two years building the first Play with his father and friends, only for its pre-opening party to land on March 14, 2020. He built the bar to show contrast, one lot at a time, so the terroir and cultivar of each coffee come through.
The Coffee
Datura in Paris roasts for Play as a standing partner, and its collaboration box holds a Lost Origin and Finca Santa Teresa gesha natural from Chiriquí. The bar was built with La Marzocco Linea PB espresso machines, Mahlkönig Peak and K30 Twin grinders, Curtis G4 and Marco UC3 batch brewers, an EK43 for brewed coffee and a custom Pristine Hydro water system.
The Vibe
Fullerton is a ground-up build of six repurposed shipping containers in the SoCo District of downtown, a short walk from the 1930 Santa Fe Depot. The containers are painted blue with orange trim and carry the Play mark on their glass, sail shades cover the walk-up side, and a bench runs along a bright blue wall.
