The Other Side of The Cup

by Maria Esther López-Thome

Hosted by María Esther López, a Miami-based lawyer turned coffee professional, trainer, and roaster — this podcast brings you the stories, struggles, and sparks of joy that live beyond the beans.We dive into the world of coffee from a different perspective: not just the latte art and the cupping notes, but the real conversations — the ones that feel comfortable, and the ones that sometimes don’t. From the creative heartbeat of running a café, to the discipline of roasting, to the personal journeys of women balancing business, family, and passion, we explore it all.At the end of the day, it’s about more than what’s in the cup — it’s about what’s on the other side: the people, the challenges, the laughs, and the truths that shape this beautiful community.Pull up a chair, pour yourself something good, and join us for conversations brewed with honesty, curiosity, and love.
