Cover Feature: Tamara Louault
Bridging two countries with her coffee company, Buna Specialty Coffee, Tamara Louault is working to bring the historic coffee culture of Ethiopia to the culinary milieu of France. Born in Ethiopia, Tamara was adopted by French parents. She was always drawn to coffee, and when she began to pursue it professionally, she knew she wanted to begin in Ethiopia. While there to learn, she also made a pilgrimage to find her birth parents, making her coffee journey truly unique and extraordinary.
’Beyond Pumpkin: Rethink Fall Drinks’
Everyone knows autumn leaves means the return of pumpkin spice latte season, but that’s not the only flavor that can revitalize your café menu for the fall. In “Beyond Pumpkin,“ writer Rachel Morrison explores other ways to create new fall drinks your customers will love. Think flavors like cinnamon, hazelnuts, caramel, clove. Rachel interviews taste makers and trendsetters from top cafés who share their tips and tricks for offering up surprising alternatives to pumpkin everything for fall.
’Celebrating Future Coffee Drinkers: How to Make Your Café Kid-Friendly’
Cafés have long served as welcoming spaces to their customers and foster a spirit of community and connection wherever they are. Expanding that welcome to the youngest members of our communities can serve double duty. Not only does creating a kid-friendly coffee shop help current customers who are bringing those kids with them, it also builds a relationship with those kids and the world of coffee that can take them on a lifelong journey.
’One on One: Jon Allen’
Building a cutting-edge coffee company in northwest Arkansas took a lot of hard work, thoughtful planning, a tremendous partner, and some good luck. We had a chance to talk with Onyx Coffee co-founder Jon Allen in our latest “One on One“ interview and asked him about his background as a musician, buying green coffee, plans for the future, and what he and Andrea did on their first date.
And Much More Inside
Also in the August + September 2024 issue, you’ll find how to build a career in coffee in “The Knockbox“ written by longtime coffee professional, former U.S. Barista Champion, and retailing expert Laila Ghambari; “Field Reports“ from Istanbul, Turkey, and Providence, R.I., and much, much more.
