About Layla Lopez
Hey there! I’m Layla—I geek out over all things coffee, from brewing methods to the science behind your morning cup. My background’s in engineering, and I can’t help but apply that lens to every experiment I do (coffee is just more fun when you treat it like a friendly lab!). Whether I’m testing grind size, dialing in espresso, or making cold brew with a DIY setup, I’ll walk you through what works, what doesn’t, and why. I love making coffee accessible for everyone, no matter where you’re starting. Let’s learn (and caffeinate) together!
