Bayron Aranda · 47 Years in Coffee
When Puerto Rico wanted to learn blending, they flew to Colombia to find him.
The Puerto Rico Coffee Growers Association didn’t hire a consultant — they traveled to Colombia to attend Bayron Aranda’s training. For decades his courses have certified farmers and technicians across Latin America.

Three Ways to Work With Us
Pick the gap in your operation. We close it.
Your Signature Blend
A working blend for your brand in a two-week engagement: market positioning, component selection from nine origins, cost engineering, and cup profile.
- Confidential operations manual for your team
- Built to hold its profile as harvests change
- Long-term accompaniment available (1–5 years)
Laboratory Setup
From a portable field lab to a full industrial plant laboratory — specified, sourced, and installed, with the protocols to run it.
- Physical analysis, sensory, and profiling in one bench
- Sample-handling protocols included
- Most “coffee labs” own the aesthetic. We build the instrument.

Bilingual trainings (Spanish/English with translators), on your site or at partner laboratories in Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.
- General cohorts up to 10 people
- Company intensives: 3–4 people, ~50 hours over two weeks
- Certification plus your confidential manual
The Portable Laboratory
The lab comes to you.
It sets up in minutes on a two-meter table. It needs electricity and water. If there’s no water, he brings it.
Physical analysis, sensory evaluation, and profiling — three disciplines almost never found in one person — running in your facility before lunch. Bayron holds a US business visa and serves clients worldwide.
Confidential by Design
Your blend is your trade secret. It stays that way.
In 47 years, Bayron has never published a client’s formula — which is why the biggest names in the industry let him build theirs. Every operations manual is written for one company: yours.
