About Remote Cappuccino

I’m Elizabeth Hingle, a wildlife biologist, writer, and coffee traveler. I started Remote Cappuccino after too many trips spent typing “best coffee near me” into Google and gambling on generic ratings. The cappuccino may be my favorite espresso-based drink, but my tool: the Interactive USA Coffee Map helps anyone more easily find the best coffee in their city.

Café Recommendations

Every café recommended by Remote Cappuccino has been personally visited and evaluated by me. I consider espresso and cappuccino quality, atmosphere, service, accessibility, work-friendliness, and whether the experience is genuinely worth a detour. I do not publish secondhand café recommendations.

Beyond the Café Reviews

However, over the years, Remote Cappuccino has grown into a place beyond cafe reviews—it's for those that want a better understanding of coffee, whether it's through informational coffee guides or authentic travel stories. I wanted this to be a place people could come to find good coffee and stay to learn more about it.

Coffee, Culture, and Ecology

I visit coffee farms, see extreme landscapes, experience different cultures, and try to understand the ecosystems encompassing them all.

I'm a boots-on-the-ground-type gal; When you Follow Remote Cappuccino you'll receive new coffee travel stories in a more immersive way—with original reporting, photography, narration, field recordings, and occasional video that helps you feel like you are traveling to these places with me. I introduce you to the coffee growers I meet along the way. I show you the wildlife that live in the coffee-growing regions. I give you insight into the coffee cultures of the world. Ultimately, I want to provide the tools to experience it for yourself.
