Vanessa Ramirez Interview<\/h1>\n

Long-time BeanGenius subscriber, Vanessa Ramirez,\u00a0is an artist, sculptor, and the\u00a0self-proclaimed, “Coffee Assassin.” She is as creative as she is caffeinated; her figures and sketches feature furry and non-furry creatures, alike. We had the pleasure of chatting with Ramirez about her coffee assassin-ating and more.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/h2>\n

Favorite way to brew your coffee?<\/h2>\n

Pour over. Hands down.<\/p>\n

How did you get into coffee?<\/h2>\n

My parents drank coffee all the time and as a kid and I always loved how it smelled. I could not wait to drink it and they were only able to hold me off until about 13-14. Fast forward to about 5-6 years ago, I decided to cut out all creamers and sugar and started drinking black coffee so I then became obsessed with finding coffee that tasted great.<\/p>\n

How does coffee fuel your art?<\/h2>\n

It keeps me alive. Kidding aside, it’s part of my routine and creative process. And the coffee love bleeds into my work for sure. I often draw monsters drinking coffee.<\/p>\n

Why do you use BeanGenius for your coffee needs?<\/h2>\n

I wanted to try different coffees outside of the ones I know. I like the possibility of discovering a coffee you may never have tried otherwise. And it’s tailored to my flavor profile, so that’s cool.<\/p>\n

\"Ice<\/a><\/h2>\n

If you could choose one superpower to have what would it be and why?<\/h2>\n

Telekinesis. So I can use my powers to make coffee without having to get up and make it myself. Also would be handy when the remote is out of reach.<\/p>\n

Favorite coffee to drink?<\/h2>\n

I occasionally will drink cold brew but I love hot brewed coffee. If I am going somewhere i am not familiar with an Americano is my go to.<\/p>\n

Roaster you typically buy coffee from?<\/h2>\n

My staples are Intelligentsia<\/a> and Stumptown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is the best cup of coffee you’ve ever had?<\/h2>\n

A friend gave me a bag of Black Ring Coffee<\/a>, and so far that has been my favorite.<\/p>\n

\"Vanessa-Ramirez-art\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

What is your daily coffee routine?<\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t drink coffee until I get to work, because I like to enjoy my first cup. I grind my beans and do the pour over thing\u00a0(I have my kettle and hand grinder in my office). The second cup comes around 11am also pour over. When I get home it\u2019s art time so I will either do pour over or french press if I have a lot of work.<\/p>\n

Favorite coffee shop and drink to have when you are there?<\/h2>\n

Right now. Copa Vida<\/a> in Pasadena. I usually go for an Americano.<\/p>\n

What do you drink outside of coffee?<\/h2>\n

I drink carbonated water, regular water, Kombucha, cold pressed juice, tea, and, on occasion, Ginger Ale.<\/p>\n
