#relationships This gentleman here is José, a great friend that fate put in my way and all thanks to the passion for COFFEE. I met him when he was barely opening his cafeteria in my hometown, Maracaibo, at that time he didn't have much knowledge about coffee but certainly his desire to learn has led him to where he is today.

When he opened his place he didn't have a barista for the inauguration so I went the first days to do what I know best. After about a year and a half of the opening we decided to work together, I would be the barista of his cafeteria and now my boss, but only during working hours haha.

My last job before leaving my country was in his cafeteria and although I knew well in advance that a long trip was coming, I didn't want to tell him until a few days before, he obviously got upset because I didn't tell him anything and I didn't give him time to look for a replacement..

His career in the coffee world is wide, he has traveled all over the world to be present in the most important championships in relation to coffee, he has gained a lot of knowledge seeing the best in the world, has been trained and has managed to be a teacher for me so in 2019 he visited me in Santiago de Chile to be my coach, public relationist, mentor and motivator in an international LatteArt competition in which thanks to the team we make and our brotherhood we achieved 2nd place in the world at LatteArt, I don't know what would have been without your help, he is “José Fab” my boss and unconditional friend
