Inside Milli by Metric: a Visual Tour of Avondale's New All-Day Gathering Space
By Elena Rostova
At the center of the room sits an island-style service station engineered to break down the classic barrier between customer and barista. Rather than hiding behind a massive, towering espresso machine that cuts off eye contact, the setup utilizes low-profile machinery and recessed drip trays that keep sightlines entirely clear.
The coffee program highlights both approachable profiles and micro-lot single origins. The bar team pulls shots of Metric’s signature blends alongside rotating single-origin espressos on calibrated La Marzocco and Modbar hardware. Dialed-in pour-over stations deploy precision flow-rate kettles and automated Marco water delivery systems, pulling distinct floral and stone-fruit notes from washed Ethiopian and natural processed Colombian lots. Drink prices run between $4.00 and $7.50 depending on origin rarity and processing complexity, matching current third-wave specialty benchmarks across the city.
