I started Hölbean from a desire to improve my knowledge with this drink I love, as well as help make specialty coffee more approachable for those who want to appreciate what they drink in their cup, and maybe aren’t sure where to start.
I worked in specialty coffee for many years, as a Barista, Cafe Manager, Coffee Trainer, and now Coffee Roaster.
In that time, I found there’s often a disconnect between the two sides of the bar, which then translates to lack of understanding between barista and customer, as well as a lack of understanding and appreciation for coffee itself.
Typically, baristas are expected to be highly skilled and knowledgeable of all the nuances of the coffee they serve, at speed. As a result, they often can feel unappreciated for the craft they’re practicing, or be judgemental towards particular orders which might seem to be “ruining” the beverage they’ve prepared.
Simultaneously, customers are often unaware of the craft which goes into making great coffee, or why specialty coffee costs what it does. As such, they can be caught off-guard by the cost or time to complete a beverage – feeling irritated, confused, or that they’ve been overcharged.
And, sometimes, I’ve met customers and baristas who can feel intimidated by all the coffee language, gear, etc. and so don’t feel they can join in.
That’s where Hölbean comes in.
Following the pandemic, I began to teach myself coffee roasting to increase my own knowledge of coffee, and in so doing pass that knowledge on to others. Hölbean Coffee Company is the result.
Hölbean is coffee for people who want to know more, who appreciate a good coffee, but are maybe just starting out in their coffee exploration, and feel judged for how they enjoy coffee, or maybe don’t yet feel confident enough to dive into the specialty coffee world.
I’m here to hold open that door.
