Pleasant staging, Ernesto! The coffee grinder in the second shot seems a bit dark or maybe the coffee bag is so light.

Nice still life! A bit soft and noisy on the download. Did you shoot it wide open?

I like the first photo - better lighting, more contrast, more depth. I agree with Curmudgeon that the background is a distraction. It would be better to place your subject matter further from the brick and (not sure what your aperture was), but shoot wide open as to blur out the background. This will isolate & highlight the beans/grinder.
The second photo is cropped a little tight in the foreground (for my tastes). It’s also “flat” from a lighting standpoint. The first photograph has more depth and therefore more interest (you can see the light-color cloth/burlap and this adds some texture to the photo).
If you have lighting issues, then consider adding a reflector (to the left side). No need to buy anything fancy. I’ve used everything from an envelope to a fry pan lid. Or DIY - poster board from Walmart.
Nice composition in both photos.

I really like the second shot as the bag fills space that seems too open in the 1st shot. The lighting is better in the 1st shot, however....
As for what I would say next... Chicago312 has said, and I'll just Ditto that!!
AND, Keep at it, Tito14! Make sure you are having fun!

Thank you for your comments. Having fun but the lightning in the back room is not the best. Working on how to make it better.
