Baristas create the perfect cup

Baristas, professionals of the trade, study coffee, its history, the grounds and altitudes at which the different types are produced and most importantly: how to create the perfect cup.

Puerto Rico's Coffee Culture

“Quieres un cafecito? (Would you like a little coffee?) is a typical welcome when you visit a Puerto Rican home. Mornings, in Puerto Rico have smelled of coffee for centuries. The typical morning ritual in Puerto Rican households include one or two cups of coffee before leaving the house, an additional cup of coffee at mid morning, another cup after lunch, one at mid afternoon and another after dinner. With sugar or without, with milk or black, big cup or small cup... we love our coffee!

Large Study Sees No Coffee-Heart Disease Connection

The Tufts University Health and Nutrition Letter reports on a research conducted by Harvard Univeristy and the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid that suggests that there is no link between coffee consumption and heart disease. The study's break through underscores that correlation is not equal causation. In the sample of over 120,000 individuals it was evident many coffee drinkers have other less healthy habits that may increase heart disease. SO, keep your coffee warm and jump to action: stay healthy.
