A Macchiato to start the day

In conversation

“Digamos lo que a mí me mueve más como barista es digamos la curiosidad que siempre genera el café.

Porque siempre estás descubriendo cosas nuevas. Siempre puedes encontrar un sabor diferente, un nuevo tipo de preparación. Es algo que siempre estás descubriendo.

Por eso es tan interesante el café.”

Our Spanish isn't quite up to par, so my friend Diego helped us get the transcription right (gracias, amigo!):

“What moves me the most as a barista is the curiosity coffee always generates.

Because you’re always discovering new things. You can always find a new flavor, a new type of preparation. It is something you’re always discovering.

That’s why coffee is so interesting.”
