En marco del Coffee Fest, celebrado en Madrid, la competencia internacional "The World's 100 Coffee Shop 2025" destacó a la Cafetería y Tostaduría Holaste, ubicada en Puerto Natales (Región de Magallanes), como una de las mejores del mundo, ubicándola en el lugar 60. Su fundadora, Catalina España, y Sony Guineo, socio del proyecto, celebraron en Cooperativa este reconocimiento y explicaron las características de su propuesta, "que ha estado muy ligada al café de especialidad como tal". Conduce Sebastián Esnaola.
Every Coffee Fest we get to sit down with some very cool presenters to chat about their businesses, area, of expertise, and insights that will help you run a better cafe. The last show of the year took place in Minneapolis, MN and was a wonderful time of sharing, community, and value. Even though my equipment decided (after 8 years of service) to die on the spot of my first interview, we got to catch up with two presenters over Zoom and have some very helpful conversations. Today we are presenting to you my interview with Jaime Becker-Finn of Makwa Coffee and Frederick Dubose of Sun Bean Coffee! We start with Jaime Becker-Finn Jamie Becker-Finn is the founder and owner of Makwa Coffee, a community centered craft coffee shop that opened in Roseville, MN in 2022. Jamie is a descendant of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and named the shop after her clan - "makwa" is the Ojibwe word for black bear (pronounced "muck-wuh"). In a sea of suburban chain stores, Makwa Coffee is proud to be a unique and values-driven space where queer folks, Native folks, and the entire community is welcomed. In addition to running the shop, Jamie is an attorney and is also wrapping up eight years of service in the Minnesota House of Representatives, where she chaired the House Judiciary Committee. Jamie grew up on the rez near Cass Lake and goes home often. She loves her people, her dogs, live music, books and soccer. Links Instagram: @makwacoffee https://www.makwacoffee.com/ Next up we have Fredrick Dubose After dedicating over 20 years to mentoring and supporting young people, Fredrick recognized that creating a physical space where the community could gather and engage was the next step in his mission to foster connection and growth. This vision became a reality when he opened SunBean Coffee Shop. His experience in youth work taught him the value of creating safe, inclusive environments where people can thrive. SunBean became that space for not only young people but for the entire neighborhood. Fredrick saw an opportunity to continue his mentorship by hiring local youth, offering them not just employment but life skills, a sense of responsibility, and a platform to contribute to their community. SunBean is a local institution known for its welcoming atmosphere and positive impact. His coffee shop has become a space for conversation, creativity, and collaboration, hosting community events and offering a venue where people from all walks of life can connect. Fredrick's transition from youth work to business ownership is a testament to his belief that community service and entrepreneurship can go hand in hand, each reinforcing the other to create lasting change."

Last year we did many interviews live at Coffee Fest. I got to chat with Ian WIlliams of the famed sneaker/coffee concept Deadstock Coffee in Portland Oregon while on the show floor. In this brief conversation Ian shared some very helpful insights around marketing, entrepreneurship, and staying true to values and culture while growing a business. Deadstock began as a cart and has operated a sneaker-themed coffee shop in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood since August 2015. Since then the company has won numerous accolades. Ian and his team have steadily grown the business through genuine hospitality, unique partnerships, and establishing themselves as a leading voice for black owned coffee shops. Ian has been speaking on coffee, marketing, diversity, and business around the country for a while now and you can find him on the Coffee Fest circuit this year again doing just that. I hope this interview helps you greatly and stay tuned for more interviews like this soon as we get ready to go to the first Coffee Fest show of 2024 in NYC!

Hay una bebida que es la segunda más consumida del mundo detrás del agua: ¡El café! En España la gente que lo toma consume al año 500 tazas de café al año, millones de ellas si hacemos el cálculo total de españoles. Ese olor que nos llega por la mañana según sale de la cafetera, que nos da energía para afrontar el día. Además, desde hace unos años, los cafés de especialidad con sus granos de altísima calidad cuyo proceso de selección y cuidado comienza desde el momento de su cultivo, están pasando de convertirse en moda a convertirse en una auténtica cultura. Y sí, en la Comunidad de Madrid también tenemos cafés madrileños. Obviamente la materia prima no es de Km 0 como solemos hablar en Pá Comerse Madrid, pero sí que tenemos diferentes empresas que lo tuestan y miman aquí; locales donde los sirven, y este fin de semana, la segunda edición del Coffee Fest.
Magazine semanal dedicado a mostrar en clave de actualidad los placeres de la buena vida: cultura, gastronomía y vino. Conoce las rutas gastronómicas, los mejores restaurantes donde poder disfrutar y los productos de temporada. Una visión diferente de la gastronomía que no dejará indiferente. En esta ocasión tendremos a José Luis Ansoleaga, propietario restaurante La Cabrera; Rogelio Enriquez, presidente de la Academia Madrileña de Gastronomia para hablanos de las actividades previstas en la Academia aprovechando que Madrid es Capital Gastronómica 2024; César Ramirez, organizador de Coffee Fest (18-20 febrero en IFEMA, Madrid); Céline Pérez, directora de Barcelona Wine Week (5-7 febrero); y nuestros colaboradores Paz Ivison y Jesús Flores
