"Do only what you can stand up for and use your capacities and inclinations so that others can benefit from them as well. If the day was not your friend it was at least your teacher."

Tell us something about you.

Hi, I’m Ingo. I live in Lucerne, Switzerland. I entered the world of coffee in 1996, when I worked in a big catering chain. I had to design a coffee shop interior – ever since that moment, coffee has been my full-time interest!

What about your hobbies?

There are my two children, inland water fishing, playing the electric guitar (rock, hard rock and blues), music, animals and plants.

A day without coffee...?

Well, I think I could make it!

You’re good at...?

Describing the characteristics of a good coffee and quality in cup.

What’s your favourite coffee spot?

I haven’t got one single place, actually. In fact, I have tasted excellent espressos in many coffee-shops, even though consistent quality is hard to find, due to various factors that affect the results in cup. In Switzerland, I usually drink the espresso in company of my customers, at our Barista Centre or at home.
