Coffee is a wonderful mix of craft, science, ritual, and addiction for me. I love all the parts of it I’ve been fortunate enough to spend great amounts of time doing. From being a barista, to a roaster, to now an espresso technician and I’m always excited to learn more. My interests and hobbies come and go but coffee has been a passion that’s suck.

And this dear reader is why I *SHOULD* make myself another coffee this late in the evening :neocat_cofe:

After selective handpicking, only the ripest cherries are floated and carefully sorted to ensure high density and sweetness. The coffee then dries for 15–18 days on raised African beds, being turned regularly and covered during the hottest hours and at night to protect from sun and rain. Once the ideal moisture level is reached, the beans rest, are hand-sorted, and packed in GrainPro bags, ready for export and roasting.

It's time!! Our new packaging is finally here
And we are releasing 3 new coffees alongside it(which we'll cover in detail soon)! Exciting times, I know

The design is minimalistic, but tells you a lot about the coffee and perfectly resembles our approach working as transparently as possible and highlighting the coffee producers' work!
This is just the first of many changes, from design to a more exciting release schedule and much more.

Enjoy the new coffees

A little look behind the scenes, at our batch brew!

We brew every batch by hand in our Big Boy by Orea, to have full control.
Only a few cups at a time, so you always get the freshest and most delicious coffee possible.
It might not be available at every moment, but it ensures that we serve quality brews and dont have unnecessary waste at the end of the day

Work-wise, it’s very inspiring to collaborate with young people, exchange ideas, and connect my experience with their knowledge.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I unwind with good films, great series, music, and good conversations.

I love swimming in the Donau, bouldering every Wednesday morning with Alex, and going for hikes whenever I can. I’m also into Studio Ghibli films, I knit when I find the time, and listen to a lot of music, FKJ and Adrianne Lenker have been on heavy rotation for quite some time. Also I like cooking (right now I’m obsessed with Biang Biang noodles), and of course, making coffee for friends.

For every pour over at Kaffemik, our headbarista Joe develops recipes to bring out the best possible cup. We pair each coffee with a different sensory cup to complete the experience.

The recipes are designed to be both delicious and consistent - easy for our baristas to reproduce even during busy service, and approachable enough for anyone to brew at home. To make it even more accessible, each brew is served with an info card including the recipe.

Let's talk about the brewer graveyard. You know, that cupboard where expensive, well-intentioned coffee gear goes to be forgotten. For some of us, the Espro Bloom is sitting right there in the back.

It was a brewer with a real identity crisis. The paper filters were expensive and hard to find, and brewing without them was a masterclass in frustration. You’d either get a fast, sour cup or a choked, bitter stall. Many of us just gave up. After spending way too much time with this thing for CoffeeGeek, we realized the problem wasn't the brewer, it was us.

The big secret is to stop treating it like a pour-over. It's a unique no-bypass brewer that demands a smaller dose and a coarser grind. Once you work with its fussy design instead of against it, the results are stunningly clean and consistent. It’s so sensitive, in fact, that we now use it as a benchmark for testing new grinders.

We’re putting the finishing touches on a definitive guide that covers the whole story: the history, the step-by-step recipe (with grinder settings), and the deep-dive theory. If you have one of these brewers, get ready to rescue it. The coffee it can make is absolutely worth it.
