What Does Coffee Mean To You?

Coffee With April

The most recent April project, our founder Patrik Rolf invites entrepreneurs, professionals, and craftspeople from outside of the coffee industry in an attempt to inspire and motivate the coffee industry with new perspective and insights. "It's a reflection on where I find my own inspiration. It has always been outside of the industry I am working in and I believe that there is a lot to gain from that outside perspective. Hopefully both coffee professionals, home baristas and people outside of our industry can find bits and pieces of the conversations that inspire." - Patrik Rolf
