Timon Kaufmann

After my Economic High School, where I could learn the basics of business management, I collected first experiences as a Bartender by visiting a bartender school near Munich. To expand my culinary knowledge, I got more insights in the form of an apprenticeship as a gastronomy specialist at a 5 star hotel in Munich. Through versatile stations at home and abroad, including Gamsei, The Charles Hotel Munich and Pegu Club New York, I could meet many different concepts and approaches of high class Bar and Restaurant management. Using my creativity and skills I participated in many national and international competitions, in which I was able to achieve numerous top 3 rankings. As Head Barista in one of Munich’s best cafes, the Standl20, I immersed my knowledge of all topics related to specialty coffee for the last 1 ½ years. During this period I was also lucky enough to become the German Barista Champion 2015 in “Coffee in good spirits”. A national Barista Championship held by the Specialty Coffee Association Europe (SCAE). Currently I extend my professional horizon by studying economics at the Ludwig Maximilian University Munich.
