Drinking specialty coffee is an experience that involves all the senses, including hearing, and music plays an important role in it.

For example, when you listen to loud music, your brain responds to the supposed sensory overload by reducing your other senses as a subconscious defense mechanism. This can make your food or drink taste blander, for example.

Research also shows that noise is influential in regulating moods and eliciting psychological responses when we eat or drink.

In the same way sound waves are able to stimulate the brain and activate certain regions to allow us to work or study. This not only helps us to concentrate, but also to train the senses and specific parts of the brain that are important when tasting coffee (the more you train, the more aromas, textures and flavors you will be able to enjoy!)

That's why we bring you a playlist of various artists and genres that will make your specialty coffee experience even more special.

Enjoy!

Cafecito - The science of Juancho Valencia

We begin with "Cafecito", a song by Juancho Valencia that plays with the mambo and boleros of yesteryear.

Its premise is simple: a good morning can only be complete with a good cup of coffee. Besides, what can we say about the name of the song, there is no better way to ask for a cup than with affection: a cup of coffee please!

One Cup of Coffee - Bob Marley

Although its lyrics refer to a breakup, the walking rhythm and good vibes that reggae brings will give you the necessary impulse to start the day with joy and give you the strength you need to leave the house.

Just sing this mantra: One cup of coffee, then I'll go. One cup of coffee, then I'll go. One cup of coffee, then I'll go.

Coffee & TV - Blur

It's winter, it's raining outside and your day hasn't been ideal, but so what, a good cup of specialty coffee can help make it all go away, or at least that's all Blur frontman Damon Albarn needs for him and his partner to be better.

We believe that there are many of us who can identify with him!

Coffee Shop - Red Hot Chili Peppers

It is very clear to us that love abounds in our coffee shops: aromas, sounds and a great diversity of people who go for their favorite coffee.

That's where this song takes place, about a boy who decides to look for love in one... will he find it? From what we have seen in our coffee shops, we say yes.

A high energy song that hits the ears like a good Espresso.

Black Coffee - Ella Fitzgerald

The evening is also a good time for coffee and to lower the revolutions of the day with a song that prepares you to go quietly to rest.

Ella Fitzgerald's voice, as smooth as a latte (and perfect for a late night) can be a great song to help you fall asleep.

How about accompanying it with a decaf or a coffee-based cocktail such as the Espresso Martini?

You decide!

Bonus:

Morena Mía - Miguel Bosé

Although his song does not make exact reference to coffee, this artist with a long career sings "Morena Mía", in which he names a brunette woman who prepares him a delicious cup.

And just as Mr. Bosé says, romance, like coffee, is always stronger if you know how to make it well.

We'd love to hear your recommendations!
