At the age of 25, I worked with an espresso machine for the first time, a 'Florenzato' brand machine, and I made original cappuccinos, giant macchiatos, and many galao´s. All of this back then in Hamburg's Schanzenviertel! In 2013, I met my mentor in bavaria near Nürnberg germany, who taught me the art of being a barista, smoothed my cappuccinos, and opened the door to pure "single origins" and latte art. Today, after many thousands of hours of 'pushing coffee,' whether self-employed or employed, restoring or repairing an espresso machine here and there, a new desire has formed: I want to learn how to roast coffee!

Thanks to 'Gemiroasters,' this wish is coming true.
