Coffee and Friends
by Juan_gtz1
When I started working as a Barista it was out of love for coffee and latte art, but this journey has taken me too much more than just that. I have become involve with such a creative community that I can say we are more than just “coffee” we are culture, community, creativity and careers. Latte art was only the first step into such an inspiring and amazing world. In this podcast I want to bring everyone that I have met during this journey and everyone that has influenced me in one way or another in this path we call life... because this podcast goes beyond just coffee.
