DRIFT: Choreographing the Future (Book) | Culture Book

Drift Issue 13 continues the magazine anthropological study of coffee in cities worldwide, this issue centred on Berlin. Coffee, Drift argues, is far more than a morning beverage—it anchors memory, marks transitions, and creates community. The magazine listens to those who drink and serve: baristas, cafe owners, street vendors, consumers. Berlin coffee scene speaks to the city cultural reinvention post-1989, its embrace of both efficiency and leisure, its role in creative collaboration. Drift combines portrait photography, interior documentation, and long-form interviews to render the complexity of a single substance across geographies. Published with global distribution and readership, this issue cements Drift methodology: sociological precision, fine photography, and genuine curiosity about how ordinary rituals shape place. Biannual. UK cover price: £14.
