Ep 58 - Grab a cup of life! [Copa Vida / Steve Chang]

The magic of Copa Vida (Spanish for "Cup of Life") is how they roast their own beans and serve you amazing coffee in three unique ways: "Go", "Enjoy" and "Experience"; each are designed to give you the perfect coffee experience - and it really works! We chat with STEVE CHANG (Founder, President, CEO and most importantly, the "Certified Professional Appreciator"!), and he tells us his secret recipe to making them one of the top coffee shops in Los Angeles and why you have to try it for yourself!

Add an extensive tea menu and an in-house chef that has developed one of the most amazing Avocado Toasts on the planet (not to mention their Croque Madame), and you have every reason you need to visit one of their six Southern California locations (don't worry, they're growing fast and may be near you soon!)

We visit both their roastery and their Pasadena café location to experience how it all comes together. And while we enjoy their famous Cortado and their "Experience" Alaka Natural Ethiopian pour over, we also talk about our week. Myles helps his 8-year-old with an art project and is awarded a sympathy tap on the back. And he shares what happens when his 6-year-old is Assistant Principal of the day. Jason's son pushes his way into the world of Spiderman but reconsiders when Spidey and MJ kiss and keep kissing (you should've seen his face!).

Whether you're in a hurry on your morning commute and need coffee stat, or you want to enjoy the perfect cup of single origin coffee, join us at Copa Vida for a freshly roasted cup of life!
