I grew up in a house with no coffee. There was no coffee pot on the stove, no coffee maker on the counter. There was no smell of coffee to wake us in the morning and no reason to sit around the kitchen table mid-afternoon. We ate our cookies with milk. And we considered ourselves normal. I want you to know that I did not feel deprived.
Winners of international coffee championships are rarely from coffee producing countries. Mauricio is determined to change that.
I had already asked Karen to prepare the coffee for us – Sierra Nevada coffee in the syphon method. It’s a fun coffee brewing method that uses fire and gravity and science. But Karen wasn’t going to start with the fun. She was going to start with our taste buds.
On a leafy street in the El Poblado neighborhood I walked past restaurants with cuisines from around the world (and around Colombia), and then I saw it. Even before I saw the sign I was lured in by the outdoor terrace with tables and comfortable chairs.
