MEETING MARTIN
Martin Wölfl is the 2024 World Brewers Cup Champion. I meet the world champion filter coffee maker in Vienna at the beginning of March for an exclusive four-part masterclass. Martin is not only a world champion filter coffee maker, but also the managing director of Wildkaffee 2.0.
During his WBC presentation, the likeable Austrian demonstrated six innovations that make filter coffee stand out. I'm really looking forward to two intensive days and this great project.

Tamper with Vibration – Hot or not?
Enough with brute force! A new generation of tampers is on its way to making the tamping of coffee grounds easier and more even. Place it on the machine and press the button. The perfect coffee puck is ready in no time thanks to vibration. I tested the technology and became an instant fan. The vibration really does change the taste of espresso! In the 02 and 03/2025 issues of crema magazine, I address this trending topic that is supposed to help our beloved espresso reach new heights of flavor. The website of the inventor, Dr. Alexander Neagos of Barbro Coffee, is also worth reading. Have fun VIBRATING!

DEATH BEFORE DECAF?
Caffeine-free coffee is trendy. But how do natural methods differ from Swiss Water, CO2 and ethyl acetate? Welche Chemie sollte im ‘Decaf’ definitiv keine Chance haben? Wann schmeckt ein koffeinfreier Kaffee? Worauf kommt es bei seiner Zubereitung als Espresso oder im Filter an? Meine Recherche und Tests führen in eine Welt, die selbst Kaffeeprofis noch weitgehend unbekannt ist. Mein Deep Dive für das crema Magazin zeigt auch, dass viele Kaffeeröstereien mit erstklassigem entkoffeinierten Kaffee aufwarten, der einfach zuzubereiten und von normalem Kaffee kaum zu unterscheiden ist.

Participation in the Q Grader course
In March 2024, I accompanied prospective Q high school graduates on their way to the most difficult sensory test in the coffee industry on behalf of crema magazine. As you can easily see from the picture, I myself had a lot of fun evaluating coffee. The red glasses are put on for a triangulation test. Six sets, each with three coffees, are put on. Each set has one coffee that tastes different compared to the other two. The space glasses are used to select the outlier not based on the coffee color, but only by tasting it.

Coffee tour to Panama
Meine zweiwöchige Kaffeereise im Januar 2024 führte in die weltberühmte Kaffeeregion Boquete, Panama. Bekannt ist vor allem die Arabica-Varietät ‘Gesha’, die dort – am Vulkan Baru – ideale Anbaubedingungen findet. Die Hacienda La Esmeralda introduced the coffee in 2004, which tastes of stone fruits and jasmine, sparking a veritable hype around the variety that continues to this day. At a coffee auction in September 2024, a South Korean coffee company paid a whopping $13,518 for a kilo of Gesha green coffee by Lamastus Family Estate (Boquete).

Interview with James Hoffmann
It's not every day that you get a coffee poured for you by James Hoffmann himself. In October 2023, I had an interview opportunity with Mr. Coffee Himself at Square Mile Coffee Roasters in London. The interview is published the first two issues of 2024 in the German crema magazine . For me personally, James Hoffmann had important answers on the topics of Wasser, Pressure Profiling und WDT-Tool parat. Und er hat, typisch James Hoffmann, zahlreiche neue ‘rabbit holes’ aufgetan. Natürlich. Denn hinter jeder Kaffeetür stecken mindestens drei Neue.
