How did you get started in coffee?:
In 2010 I started out in a small café in Zürich named Zam Park. Then I moved over to Milchbar, with the chance to learn from Nina Rimpl (Head Barista), and took over her position from 2016-2017 as Head Barista. From there I became Head of Coffee for Auer&Co. and Kraftwerk from 2017-2019. Since 2018 I’ve been a Roaster at Henauer Kaffee.
