Minerva, an old coffee shop in Sinchon college streets, sticks to their own interior and coffee percolating. They bring a coffee percolator to your table and light the lamp, for you to watch water boiling and coffee brewing. Commonly known as ‘siphon coffee’ in Korea, this type of coffee brewing was so impressive in the past that many middle-aged customers come back to Minerva, pleased to find the coffee shop hasn’t changed since their college days.
