Since I was 14 years old I have worked as a roaster, cupper, roastery owner and in 1998 I founded Boot Coffee.

My mission: advising roasting companies and coffee producers on quality improvement strategies.

Over the years we developed an impressive portfolio of clients, from super-quality specialty start-ups to renowned coffee producing countries.

My passion: the Geisha coffee farms I started in Panama and Ethiopia and my quest to find the mother-source of Geisha in Ethiopia.

I’m a licensed Q grader and Q Arabica instructor.
