The Other Side Of The Cup

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.
