About Us – The Bean Lotus
Welcome to The Bean Lotus — where coffee, culture, and connection come together in the most personal way.
We’re Christopher and Luz, a U.S.-Argentine couple who share a passion for coffee and for creating meaningful experiences. Our journey started with a dream of opening an espresso bar where people could slow down, enjoy a perfectly brewed cup, and feel at home. As we began exploring the coffee scene here in Argentina, we noticed how difficult it was to find quality home barista tools and accessories. We knew there was an opportunity to change that — to bring quality products into any home.
Why “The Bean Lotus”?
The name The Bean Lotus reflects everything we value and believe in. Coffee culture is magical — it’s about slowing down, connecting with others, and finding joy in the simple act of brewing a cup. Every bean tells a story of craftsmanship, dedication, and culture, and we want our brand to be part of that story.
The Lotus is more than just a flower; it’s a symbol of mindfulness, personal growth, and beauty rising from challenge. Just like a lotus grows from muddy waters into something stunning, our journey — and yours — is about rising, evolving, and finding peace in small moments. For us, coffee is that pause, that daily ritual of mindfulness, and we hope The Bean Lotus inspires others to take that same pause in their lives.
What Makes Us Different
We curate every product in our store based on a blend of personal barista experience, in-depth research, and a genuine love for the craft. Each item we offer is chosen with care — not just for its quality, but for its potential to elevate your home espresso bar and bring something special to your daily ritual.
Our selection reflects what we believe can truly transform the home coffee experience — from the perfect tamper to beautifully balanced espresso scales, all the way to authentic yerba mate. We share mate not just as a product, but as a piece of culture — a tradition rooted in hospitality, connection, and slowing down.
Whether you're just getting started or have years of experience, we’ve created a space that’s welcoming, accessible, and built with heart. The Bean Lotus is for anyone who loves coffee, culture, and finding meaning in the small things.
Our Philosophy
For us, coffee isn’t just a drink — it’s a moment of love, care, and connection. It’s the quiet time before the day begins, the warmth shared between friends, the inspiration that comes with slowing down. Our philosophy is to live with love and intention, leaving the stress of the world at the front door and finding joy in simple, beautiful rituals. Whether it’s preparing a perfect espresso shot, brewing mate, or sharing a warm cup of tea, we believe that these small moments can bring peace and connection.
