I grew up in Honduras, where coffee wasn't a hobby — it was just what was on the table every morning. The smell of coffee breweing in the kitchen was one of the first things I remember.
I didn't fall in love with coffee until much later, after I'd moved to the US and started noticing how different two cups could taste — and how nobody around me had words for it. So I started learning. Books, courses, late nights going down spirals learning about fermentation techniques.
Particular Coffee started in 2023, in my own kitchen, with four friends and an island table. I figured most people don't want a class — they want a hangout that happens to teach them something. So that's what I built.
Many years later, the idea is still the same: get good people in a room, put eight cups in front of them, and see what happens. What happens, mostly, is laughter. And then everyone wants to know where to buy the Ethiopian one.
