Panther Coffee in Miami’s hip Wynwood neighborhood is only a quick 90-minute flight from Guatemala City. The easy access to Latin America makes developing direct-trade relationships with farms easier, and also means a diverse clientele of international coffee lovers, some who hail from the very same towns that grow Panther's coffees. Inside the shop, along with the hum of a vintage pre-World War II Probat coffee roaster, you can hear so many languages that it's easy to forget you're only a few minutes from Miami Beach.
