Suuapinga Family
Meet Álvaro – born and raised in Santiago de Chile and part of the Suuapinga team since 2024. After realising he needed a big change away from corporate work, he moved to Germany and started exploring the city through coffee. That search led him to Suuapinga – and the people here made him feel at home right away.
Today, Álvaro is part of our logistics team. His days usually start with a coffee, planning the route ahead, loading everything our cafés need and making sure it all arrives where it should. What matters most to him is creating a friendly, respectful atmosphere – with colleagues and guests alike.
For Álvaro, good coffee should always be enjoyable. He loves variety, but consistency is key – especially when it comes to a well-balanced espresso. Depending on the day, his favourite drink might be a filter coffee or a classic cappuccino.
What makes Suuapinga special to him is the sense of community. The short moments when shifts overlap, everyone meeting at the bar, sharing a few words about work or life – those are the moments he values most.
Outside of Suuapinga, music plays a big role in Álvaro’s life. He loves playing guitar and singing, staying active through sports, bouldering, cycling, long hikes and trail running. A place close to his heart is Cerro San Cristóbal in Santiago – filled with memories from different stages of his life.
As today is a special day for you, we say: Happy Birthday Álvaro and all the best.
