3. As vegans we have chosen this life style because it is the healthiest and best for the animals and environment option. Consequently, we choose to serve cakes that are not replacing the eggs and dairy from traditional backing with extra sugar, gluten, palm oil that destroys the orangutans’ habitat and turns up global warming, saturated or hydrogenated fats, artificial sweeteners or coloring, etc,. Our cakes are made with buckwheat, oat, coconut, rice, corn, or/and spelt flours, very often they are sweetened only with fresh or dried fruit and spices, and most of the ingredients are organic, fair trade and locally produced. We have them delivered on an every 4-6 days basis so they are always fresh. Our delivery systems are carbon neutral and plastic free. We understand that for some people this results in what feels to them dry and not tasty, but most of our clients appreciate our approach and share our values. 4. We’re only working with specialty coffee. This means our beans are 100% Arabica, rate 80 or more on the Specialty Coffee Association scale (max is 100), are hand roasted locally (we work with a roaster from Estepona that ranked 2nd place in the Spanish roasting championship in 2018). We use a lever espresso machine custom made for us in Venice, Italy and only burr grinders. Our daily routine starts with the grinder and coffee machine calibration to make sure we’re brewing a nice cup. We’re using scales and volumetric cups to ensure that the ratio of dry coffee to liquid yield is correct and recently started using a refractometer to measure the extraction rate of our shots so we know for a fact that we’re making a round and balanced espresso that allows the drinker to enjoy all the subtle aromas and flavors good coffee carries.For milky coffees such as cappuccinos we use high quality organic oat and soy milks, plant based calcium fortified so they will not curdle in contact with the coffee and only add natural sweetness. Therefore, if one is used to the very strong, burned, commercial coffees available in Spanish supermarkets or traditional coffee shops we definitely do not serve that and our coffee may seem weak. We aren’t inspired by the sugary madness that chain coffee shops promote either. So please, if you have specific preferences share them with us and we’re sure we’ll find something tailored to your taste. Dear future clients, please forgive us for writing such a long reply and we hope you’ll give us the chance to shine!
