Having worked in both Specialty Coffee and Corporate Coffee, I’ve become an expert in the ins and outs of coffee as a product and as a service. Inspired by the role that coffee plays as a frontrunner product for spearheading new developments in the Food & Beverage industry, I’m here to help you take it even further. My mission is to help the coffee industry become more sustainable and show the world a few things in the process: that a great product can be ethical and kind, artisanal and controlled, professional and fun.

What’s on the coffee menu?

Here’s how I can help you.

As a Q Grade Certified coffee taster, I’m available to help with operational tasks like Coffee Roasting or Quality Control. I can also help you with Staff Training or Customer Training. Or how about sitting down together and having a look where we can improve your Business Processes and/or Continuous Improvement? I can accommodate you with Audit Advice or Certification Submission. And in a pinch, I can even fill in a few of your Barista Shifts.
