## Resource

Wellington’s food scene got its wild start with a Frankenstein espresso roaster built from a tin, toaster, and exhaust pipe—New Zealand’s first homemade coffee machine, born in the late ‘80s coffee revolution. This chaotic, illegal masterpiece, now on display at the Wellington Museum in the ‘Capital of Kai’ exhibit, sparked a movement that turned cafes like Midnight Espresso into icons. Alongside it, relics like an Italian restaurant’s leather couch, a noodle pan from Great India, and squid-ring calendars tell stories of migration, innovation, and passion that shaped Wellington’s palate from tearooms to global flavors.
