Hi, I'm Stefania Marzelia
I’ve spent over a decade working in coffee - from behind the bar to building my own specialty coffee brand, Sips.
Today, I create coffee education for people who want to make better drinks at home and offer strategy sessions for founders building coffee carts, cafés, trailers, and coffee businesses of their own.
I’ve never believed the best information should only be reserved for people who can afford expensive courses or figure everything out the hard way. Whether you’re learning how to build a better latte at home or trying to make smarter decisions around your menu, operations, customer experience, or next business move, my goal is to make coffee feel more approachable, practical, and clear.
Coffee Notes are here when you want short, focused lessons you can learn from on your own.
Strategy Sessions are here when you want personalized guidance, a second set of eyes, and honest feedback on what you’re building.
Either way, my goal is simple: for you to walk away with more clarity, more confidence, and something you can actually use.
Because in coffee, there’s always something new to learn - and if you’re building a coffee business, there’s a smarter way to do it than guessing your way through every decision.

Teaching people about coffee every chance I get
Let's dive into the Notes!
Coffee education shouldn't cost hundreds of dollars.
I started Coffee Notes because I believe the best information should be accessible - not hidden behind expensive courses or endless upsells.
Each Coffee Note is designed to teach one topic well. Short, practical lessons that fit into your day, paired with downloadable guides and simple quizzes to help everything stick. Plus, lifetime access to the Coffee Notes Community and the ability to connect with other coffee lovers.
Whether you're trying to brew better coffee at home, land your first barista job, or build a coffee business of your own, my goal is simple:
Give you practical, high-level knowledge you can actually use.
All for about the cost of your favorite latte.
