Kaffeemacher

Tell us about yourself:

I am 33 years old and have been living in Basel, Switzerland, for 13 years. Since 2013, I have been participating in coffee championships. After many second places, I managed to make it to a World Championship for the first time this year. I am a co-founder of Kaffeemacher and responsible for our two cafes.

What are you excited to do while you visit Busan?

I'm excited to explore a new city, try the local coffee culture, and taste the delicious food.

What are your interests outside of coffee?

I enjoy cycling, camping trips with my old VW bus, and woodworking.

Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognize or who helped you to prepare for the WBC?

I thank the entire Kaffeemacher team, without whom I could not be here. Also, my team supporting me in Busan, without a team, this would not be possible.
