Why Training Matters

Barista training is essential to deliver the farm to cup experience. We have the most unique humans — from actors and singers to students, creatives, and future entrepreneurs — all looking for an opportunity to work in an amazing environment, connect with the best caffeinated customers, and enjoy the flexibility and income to make their dreams come true. Our customer love training isn’t just about learning how to pour a Coquito Latte; they learn how that we are memory builders and coffee is just the excuse. It all comes down to our five barista points, and it’s the reason why 787 Coffee is the best coffee shop growing nationwide. This is how we train every barista not just to make coffee, but to create WOW moments.

Connecting Through Storytelling

Whenever you’ve visited a coffee shop, have you ever wondered: What exactly am I drinking? At 787 Coffee, our baristas are storytellers, ready to take you straight to our farm in Maricao, Puerto Rico — Hacienda Iluminada. We train every barista to understand the farm to cup journey. From how 787 Coffee started, to the farmers to the community behind our single origin coffee.

This deep knowledge allows us to share with you more than a cup of get shIT done. It’s about walking you through the fields of Hacienda Iluminada, and tasting our hand pick coffee beans that have delicious dark chocolate, citrus, and buttery notes that come together to create the best coffee. When you know where your specialty coffee comes from, the experience is richer, and the connection to what you’re drinking is stronger.



Guiding You to the Best Coffee

Our baristas are coffee experts, trained to help you discover new flavors and find your perfect WoW drink. They know the flavor notes of our single origin coffees from Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Colombia. Whether you’re craving a traditional espresso-based drink or one of our exciting WOW lattes, they can guide you to a flavor experience that transforms your taste buds into something extraordinary. Our baristas also suggest the perfect pairings, like our delicious chicken empanadas or freshly baked quesitos, while helping you choose the best coffee bag to take home. They’re here to guide YOU! At 787 Coffee, we want every freshly roasted cup of our specialty coffee to create a memorable and personalized experience just for YOU.

Discover Our Wow Lattes

Step into a world of latino flavors with our "Wow Lattes," each a creative fusion of latin tastes and our exceptional specialty coffee beans. Our baristas are ready to introduce you to these unique creations, including the festive and iconic Puerto Rican coconut holiday drink Coquito, the sweet and nutty Mazapán, the vanillay Tres Leches, the rich caramel Dulce de Leche, the cinnamon spiced Horchata, and the tropical Piña Colada. Each one is a representation of our origin and culture, creating flavors that will make you say WOW.

The 787 Invention Rum & Whiskey Infused Coffee Beans

Our Rum-infused coffee, is made with a single origin coffee from Mexico, and it has notes of smoky cinnamon and dark chocolate. For a different profile, our Whiskey-infused coffee bean, is directly sourced from Hacienda Iluminada and, offers rich notes of vanilla, berries, and dark chocolate. These unique infused coffee beans are another way we demonstrate our passion for innovation and our dedication to pushing the boundaries of how to make the best coffee imaginable.



Beautiful Latte Art

Coffee is an art. Like painters with a canvas, our baristas treat every espresso-based drink as a chance to create something memorable. They're trained to notice the little details: milk temperature, grind size, and extraction time. These details are what highlight the flavors of our freshly roasted single origin coffee beans. The beautiful hearts and tulips they design are the final touch. A small moment of beauty and gratitude that shows your coffee is one of a kind, and unique just like YOU.

Thank You for…

Out of the hundreds of thousands of coffee shops you could visit, you chose us, and we can’t express our gratitude with just a simple “thank you.” Instead, we say thank you for…

Thank YOU for supporting local, Thank YOU for your smile, Thank YOU for your laughs and energy. There are a million reasons why we are grateful to YOU. This is what makes 787 baristas feel genuine. We know that in our day-to-day lives, gratitude is often overlooked, but when you visit a 787 Coffee shop, we understand that YOU are our guest, and without you, there is no us. This is what every barista trains for: a bow to the gift of the farm to cup experience.
