Profile

What is your position in the coffee industry?
home barista, coffee enthusiast
Where are you located? ( City and Country )
Budapest, Hungary
How many years have you been in the industry?
coffee enthusiast for 15 years - the coffeehouse is my natural habitat
If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?
yes
Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills and what you can offer in regards to an exchange.
Quality coffee deserves to be enjoyed slowly with friends!

There is a great need for coffeehouse to invest in the community and people around them. Working with and hosting bands, community artists, self-improvement groups, social action groups, religions organizations, and educational institution can also draw traffic to the coffeehouse. I would like to see the coffeehouse become the "the cradle of culture" as it once was in central Europe.

This is my passion! Join the group "coffee-to-stay" - idea exchange if this is also your passion.

Join my coffee community at MIXX.com and share your coffee related bookmarks.

share your coffee related links at a new MIXX community

I just started a "community" for all things related to coffee at mixx.com. Coffee Community This is a place where we can all share our bookmarks about anything in the coffee world. For those of you who dont know MIXX is a new DIGG competitor, that many feel is doing a much better job than DIGG. Some call it the Ning of social bookmarking. In any case, their new "communities" are a great way for us to share and organize our links. come check it out, join… Continue

Very awesome to be friends Kayakman, Community right now is a very important thing to share. At the rate this world is going and how fast it is, its really hard to appreciate good company these days. I think the quest for community is highly needed and under-appreciated. Coffee shops are the best and perfect outlet for people to pursue community. Again, Kayakman awesome to be friends and to share the same interests and more importantly, passions. Keep in touch.

Glad to see this site is pulling in coffee peeps from all over the world, which I believe is the intention here. I lived in Stuttgart for over 10 years and made a trip to Budapest in the early 90's...beautiful city you have! We also enjoyed the jazz being played in so many clubs, so it was funny that you have Stan Getz on your page.
I also live in a kayaking mecca, but haven't gotten around to it myself.
Do you barista at a shop?

Ciao! My husband and I are also kayaking enthusiasts - and I love good Jazz music - love the Stan Getz on your page :-) You should make a trip to Venezia, Italia and get some photos of the caffes in Piazza San Marco - bellissimo!
