The person behind Latte Papi
Hey, I’m Jermaine.
Pull up a chair.
I’m a barista and coffee shop owner in Durham, North Carolina. I own Triangle Coffee House and I’m the founder of Echo+Page, where coffee, books, and vinyl meet.
Latte Papi is my personal corner of that world: recipes to try, notes from behind the bar, and the culture that makes a cup of coffee feel like more than a drink.
Good coffee should feel approachable.
You don’t need to know all the terminology or own every piece of equipment. Start with something you enjoy. Ask a question. Make the next cup a little more yours.
Rooted in Durham.
Independent coffee shops are about people as much as the coffee. Triangle Coffee House and Echo + Page each have their own identity. Here, I get to tell the stories that connect them.
