Kelly Johnson, the host of the virtual event, is excited to welcome Juan Ruiz, owner of Universal Coffee, to the event. “We are excited to partner with Juan at Universal Coffee to host a virtual event that goes behind the scenes at the coffee shop! We had Juan on the Daily Grind Podcast in Season 4, Episode 27 in 2022. Glad to have him back on our platform!”, she says.

Juan will be showing us how to make his signature Champurrados, a delicious hispanic twist on coffee. He expresses his passion for teaching people about the art of coffee when he says, “It's fun and people will be interested in what we have. The Champurrado is one of the drinks the people need to try it out and see what they think! Our coffee is good. Our customers already know, but there's more to it than just coffee.”

If learning how to create a yummy specialty coffee drink wasn’t enough, the event will also be a place where people can connect with like-minded people and gain inspiration from the guest speaker, Juan, who started his small business from the ground up.

In a time when people are appreciative of learning new skills and trades, as well as creating human connection, we know Coffee & Conversations is the perfect catalyst for fostering a memorable and special experience.

Don’t miss your chance to awaken your conversation at our virtual event and connect with fellow coffee lovers!
