En: The spring day's sun illuminated the old warehouse district in Helsinki. Fi: Aromikas tuoksu leijaili raskailta, puisilta hyllyiltä, jotka olivat täynnä kahvipapuja. En: Aromatic scents wafted from the heavy wooden shelves filled with coffee beans. Fi: Paahtimo oli kuin toinen maailma, modernin ja rustiikkisen sekoitus, ja se houkutteli kaikenlaisia vierailijoita. En: The roastery was like another world, a mix of modern and rustic, attracting all kinds of visitors. Fi: Keskellä kaikkea hääri Aino, paahtimon barista.
