What would be of cities like Paris or Vienna without their famous coffee houses? Europe is home to some of the most renowned personalities, places, and festivals related to the world of specialty coffee. For coffee lovers, European countries are a fantastic destination that begins and ends with great coffee and experiences. It’s definitely a world worth exploring and that’s exactly what Ales Pospisil and Radek Ruzicka decided to do when they started European Coffee Trip.
A love for coffee and exploring
These two friends had in common their love for coffee and traveling. So with a camera in hand and a project in their minds, they started to explore European cities looking for the best cafés and baristas to make the ultimate tourist guide for coffee lovers that want to experience only the very best of the cultural coffee scene.
Filled with beautiful photography, rich interviews and reviews and wonderful videos, European Coffee Trip has become, over the last three years, a community of people with a great love for our favorite drink. Ales’s and Radek’s initial goal was to create an online platform or magazine that could connect all people interested in specialty coffee across Europe and post all the information in English, with the purpose of overcoming the European language barriers.
Initially, they studied engineering, but then, Ales and Radek switched from wires and mechanics to specialty coffee. They’ve visited over 40 cities and have produced over 100 videos. They’ve learned how espresso machines and grinders are made, they’ve tasted some of the best coffees in Europe and they have interviewed, and become friends with, coffee professionals from all different backgrounds, such as coffee school and espresso bar founder, Tim Wendelboe, coffee author Colin Harmon, 2009 World Barista Champion, Gwilym Davies, 2015 World Brewers Cup Champion, Odd-Steinar, 2016 World Coffee Roasting Champion, Alexandru Nicolae, among many others.
The ultimate coffee tourist guide
Over the years, they’ve expanded their trips and have begun to explore places like Tanzania and Brazil, with the hopes of learning more about coffee origins and how it’s produced, from the land to the cup. Last year, they even went to Korea for the media coverage of 2017 World Barista Championship, where they met many talented artists and baristas that share our love for specialty coffee. Also, they’re also currently working on their first documentary about the Aeropress machine and have gathered up to $15,000 to finish their project.
As they keep growing and growing, you can now go to their website to explore all the different destinations they’ve visited over the years. All you have to do is pick a city, and they’ll recommend you the best cafés they discovered while they were there. Of course, they keep adding new places as they continue to learn about new destinations, that’s because one thing’s for sure: coffee culture is far from declining. Recently opened cafés are thriving in all European cities and, as people become more educated about coffee, the experiences are getting all the more interesting and fun!
Wouldn’t that be the job of your dreams? A life of travels and the best coffee in the world? Ales and Radek have worked really hard to get where they are, looking for new sponsors and opportunities as they go. They’re definitely an example of perseveration; when you set your mind on a good project, very few things can really mess with your resolve. Join them today on their trip and let us know if you’d like to make their European Coffee Trip anytime soon! In the meantime, at That Coffee Roasters, we’ll keep enjoying what we all have in common: a cup of our favorite coffee.
