Meet Gustavo Gutierrez! Based in Montgomery County, Maryland, Gustavo is the founder of Amazonica Coffee Espresso Bar, a business that began as a personal passion project in 2018. He taught himself the craft after investing in a commercial roaster and experimenting with different techniques to perfect his roast.
Amazonica’s beans come directly from the Ramos Garcia family farm in Huaranchal, Perú — a region well-known for its coffee. Over the last couple years, Gustavo has visited the farm, learned more about the harvesting process and is developing a strong bond with the family.
Gustavo has been serving customers at our markets since 2025 from his solar-powered coffee cart, built right into his car. He offers hot and iced espresso drinks, cold brew, decaf coffee, teas and whole bean coffee.
