THE BEST COFFEES OF 2023
At the end of each year, we reflect on the memories made and the highlights that standout. We believe that coffee creates memorable moments in our daily lives. At its core, it’s quite simple. However, the impact a cup of coffee can have is unmeasurable. This was the driving force behind our Best of 2023 set.
THE CUP OF EXCELLENCE AND THE RODRIGUEZ FAMILY
Madcap has been participating in the Cup of Excellence since we began. In 2008, Gloria Rodriguez’s coffee, El Porvenir, placed as a top scoring coffee in the El Salvadorian COE. Her coffee and story were truly inspirational, so we were honored to buy her coffee as the first ever coffee purchased by Madcap.
THE STORY OF OUR FIRST COFFEE
When we opened in 2008, we were committed to seeking out relationships with coffee producers whose work inspired us, so we purchased Gloria Rodriguez’s Cup of Excellence winning coffee.
