The 787 Coffee Logo: More Than Merch, It's a Movement
Let’s Connect on Social
Hello Caffeinated Humans!
Let's talk about a hat.
Not just any hat. THE hat. The one that represents everything we stand for at 787 Coffee.
The 787 Coffee Logo Hat.
You've seen it around. On Instagram. At our coffee shops. On the streets of NYC, El Paso, and Puerto Rico. People wearing it with pride, representing something bigger than just coffee.
But here's what most people don't know:
This hat almost didn't exist.
For years, customers asked us: "Do you sell hats? I want to rep 787 everywhere I go."
And for years, we said: "Not yet. When we make a hat, it has to MEAN something."
Today, that hat exists. And it's more than merch.
It's a symbol of our journey from a devastated farm to 25+ coffee shops. It's a statement about sustainability, community, and Puerto Rican pride. It's a way to wear your values.
This is the story of why we finally made the hat—and why when you wear it, you're joining a movement.
Every piece of merch has been hand designed and printed in NYC. Our logo means so much. Let’s talk about our No Eres Bebesita, Eres Bebesota T-shirt.
Let's do this!

Why 'Tu No Eres Bebesita, Eres Bebesota' Became Our Best-Selling Shirt
Hello Caffeinated Humans!
There's a shirt at 787 Coffee that people go CRAZY for.
You've probably seen it. Bold text. Unapologetic energy. Pure confidence.
"Tu No Eres Bebesita, Eres Bebesota"

If you DO speak Spanish (especially if you're Latino/Latina), you're probably nodding and smiling.
Because you GET it.
This isn't just a shirt. It's a cultural moment. A vibe. A statement about confidence, self-worth, and claiming your power.
It's become our best-selling shirt—and it's not even close.
Today, we're breaking down what "bebesota" means, why this phrase resonates so deeply, how it connects to coffee culture, and why confident, ambitious humans can't stop buying this shirt.

Cultural meaning:

The Phrase: "Tu No Eres Bebesita, Eres Bebesota"
Translation: "You're not a little baby, you're a BIG BOSS"
Real meaning: "You're not small/cute/delicate—you're powerful/confident/in charge"
Cultural Context:
This phrase exploded in Latino pop culture, especially through reggaeton and Bad Bunny's music. It's about rejecting being seen as small or weak and embracing your full power.
It's a mindset shift:
❌ Bebesita = small, cute, needs protection
✅ Bebesota = powerful, confident, runs the show
And when you wear this shirt, you're declaring: "I'm not here to be cute. I'm here to dominate."
Why This Phrase Resonates (Especially With Coffee Drinkers)
You might be thinking: "What does this have to do with coffee?"
EVERYTHING.
Coffee Culture = Hustle Culture
Think about who drinks coffee:
Entrepreneurs building empires
Students grinding through exams
Athletes pushing limits
Creatives making art
Professionals closing deals
Coffee drinkers are ambitious. They're hustlers. They're NOT delicate.
They're bebesotas/bebesotos.
The 787 Coffee Customer
Our customers are:
Starting businesses
Leading teams
Crushing goals
Making moves
Taking risks
They don't want to be seen as "bebesitas"—cute, small, soft.
They want to be seen as "bebesotas"—powerful, confident, unstoppable.
This shirt IS them.
The Cultural Moment: Bad Bunny & Reggaeton Influence
Let's talk about why this phrase went viral.
Bad Bunny's Influence
Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) is one of the biggest music stars in the WORLD. He's Puerto Rican. He's unapologetically Latino. He reps his culture HARD.
His music often includes phrases like "bebesota" to describe confident, powerful women and energy.
Songs like:
"Tití Me Preguntó"
"Ojitos Lindos"
"Me Porto Bonito"
These songs celebrate confidence, self-worth, and not settling for less.
Reggaeton's Empowerment Era
Reggaeton used to be criticized for how it portrayed women. Not anymore.
Modern reggaeton (especially Bad Bunny's music) flips the script:
Women are powerful, not objects
Confidence is celebrated
Independence is the vibe
"Bebesota" energy = owning your power
The culture shifted. And this phrase became the anthem.
Why The Shirt Became Our Best-Seller
Since launching the "Tu No Eres Bebesita, Eres Bebesota" shirt, it's been our #1 selling piece of apparel.
Why?
1. It's Bold & Unapologetic
Most coffee merch is safe. Generic. Boring.
"Freshly Brewed." Yawn.
"But First, Coffee." Basic.
"Coffee Lover." We get it.
This shirt? BOLD.
It makes a statement. It turns heads. It demands attention.
People want that energy.
2. It Connects To Latino/Latina Identity
For Latino/Latina customers, this shirt is personal.
It represents:
Cultural pride
Language pride (Spanish front and center)
Celebrating reggaeton/Bad Bunny culture
Claiming space unapologetically
One customer told us:
"I wear this shirt and people KNOW I'm Latina. I'm proud. I'm loud. I'm not shrinking myself for anyone."
That's powerful.
3. It Resonates Beyond Language
Even if you don't speak Spanish, the energy translates.
The bold text. The confidence. The vibe.
People ask: "What does that mean?"
And when you explain it, they GET IT immediately.
"Oh, so it's like… boss energy?"
EXACTLY.
Be a CAFFEINATED HUMAN.
Be a creative human. Be a good human.
Be a NuevaYOL Caffeinated Human.
4. It's Unisex Confidence
This isn't just for women. This isn't just for men.
Bebesota/Bebesoto energy is for EVERYONE.
Women owning their power
Men showing up confidently
Non-binary humans rejecting small boxes
ANYONE who refuses to be underestimated
The shirt works for everyone who hustles.
5. It Fits The 787 Coffee Brand
787 Coffee is all about:
Puerto Rican pride (Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican)
Bold moves (we survived Hurricane Maria by refusing to compromise)
Confidence (we're building a coffee empire from scratch)
Unapologetic quality (farm-to-cup, no shortcuts)
This shirt IS our brand energy.
When you wear it, you're not just wearing 787 Coffee merch.
