Quotes from Jennifer Camacho:

"Yeah, as you said, it's a balance. We are experts in coffee. So that's our greatest asset and the most important piece that we want to communicate about that product. But then there are industry standards for things that people are accustomed to doing. So we are not trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to, for example, purchasing processes or presenting the most convenient ways of paying because that's already set as a standard."

"As you may know, we have lots of variety in coffees and we're always trying to push the boundaries of exploring new tastes and of allowing people to enjoy coffee from very differentiated parts of the world. So the amount of products that we have sometimes could be intimidating for some people because they may be just starting to understand the world of coffee."
