To Heidelberg (DE) and Bratislava (SK) for the enjoyment of art!
Goddamn it!
I think he has everything JERRY loves.
Maybe a love for nature would make it complete?
Living in Heidelberg, Germany, but can be seen all over the world.
Hi, my name is Jannik.
I’m an artist and illustrator, but I also love cooking, being outdoors, anime, and all sorts of things.
But I also reach out to people I want to work with.
You can find the perfect project nowadays, no matter where you live.
I love it!
Where do you get your inspiration from?
I love to try out new things to see how they turn out.
I could never do the same work twice, it always has to be exciting.
But if time is short going down to the river is also great.
There are a lot of different waterbirds that are always fun to watch!
Are there any coffee shops in Heidelberg that you can recommend?
Moro and Coffeenerd are great places I can easily recommend.
But to be honest I also hang out at Starbucks sometimes.
It's my guilty pleasure.
As long as the project is fun and everybody is motivated I am down for it.
I would like to buy some artwork from you, where can we do?
When I am making prints I sell them directly, but there are always some left.
Just shoot me a message and ask.
Enjoy a good cup of coffee and have a great day!"
Adam Ondra the rock climber was born here.
And of course not to forget all those great chess masters
The city has a dedication to the installation of Public Art.
Coffee roasters keep popping up like mushrooms.
Here good deeds are rewarded with free coffee, how blissful this is!
And of course, Jokes Aside shuffles his cards here as well.
My partner Kalliopé had her own coffee shop here and we both knew that we wanted to start a roasting business so we started working on that.
Kalli and her business partner Alex know how to run a business and I was already 9 years in specialty coffee, mostly as a barista.
I felt the urge to start my own business and get back to roasting sourcing and coffee training.
We started thinking about our business values, working on the brand, website, and coffee and we finally launched our first coffee last April.
The core idea was to have something of our own and to start working on the few close relationships with producers and importers we knew personally.
We started looking for a space in Brno and after almost a year we found one.
We’re currently finishing the small espresso bar area and there’s a bigger room in the back where production, QC, and courses will take place eventually.
We don’t have our own roaster yet, as we didn’t want to take a bank loan for that in these unstable times.
But we’re slowly and steadily getting there.
There’s no investor behind us so we save pennies from what we sell to customers and coffee shops.
We currently roast our coffees in Prague at our friend’s production space at Grounds.
We’re very grateful for the support we have within the coffee community (mostly abroad).
But this scene is much bigger on your side of Europe.
Can you tell us about it?
In the Czech Republic, we were exposed to big specialty coffee names right from the early days (Square Mile, Has Bean, Drop, Barn, Bonanza).
So many coffee shops here were working with these well-known companies that Czech roasters had to work hard to keep up.
That helped to push the quality of specialty roasting here big time.
Without that exposure, specialty coffee wouldn’t be so popular in the region.
Nice surprise, how did you come up with this idea?
Meaning that coffee itself is not a joke to us, but we still like to be witty.
Adding a Joker card into the bag with a short coffee riddle seemed like a nice surprise we wanted to have.
We have a lot of parks and public green areas here.
From March to August, the city is packed with concerts, outdoor theater plays, and coffee shopbar life is ubiquitous.
The specialty coffee scene here is staggering.
Whether it’s a long walk in Luzanecky Park, a coffee shop tour, visiting the Spilberk castle, attending a theater play, having a cocktail in a NYC-style bar, or leaving Brno to see the surrounding forests and hills, you’ll be a happy tourist here.
There are galleries all over the city including some very unusual ones!
Amazing street art and murals.
Good food and drink spots.
This city sounds like a wonderful place.
Oohhh, and not to forget, delicious coffee roasted by Triple Five Coffee Roasters.
Are you alone or do you have a team??
😊 I am working with my colleague Lukáš in the roastery and we have a great team of talented people working in our café.
We all work closely together.
Good communication and teamwork are absolutely key to making things work.
What do you think of the combination of art and specialty coffee?
I also think Slovak art has many things to offer.
Combining art and specialty coffee is one of the things we would like to explore more, as there is a lot of potential.
We are already looking forward to working with young artists who will help us with our new branded merchandise.
They did a wonderful job and we’re very happy with the result!
People who will come to enjoy a coffee will also be able to see the roastery.
Our ambition is to bring people closer to the roasting process so that they can get a sense of what is happening to the coffee beans before they drink their delicious cup of coffee 😊
Such as?
The city has changed so much over the past decade.
There are plenty of things to do and things to visit in Bratislava (including a growing specialty coffee scene!), but also many things to discover in the rest of the country – our wonderful mountains, forests, lakes, and castles are definitely worth a trip.
"Come and visit us in Bratislava! :-)"
It was rebuilt after the war using paintings by Bernardo Bellotto, a Venetian artist.
But now, rebuilt.
Museums, incredible art and coffee scene.
Woods and street art are everywhere.
Don't hesitate, if all this doesn't convince you...
Hayb Specialty Coffee is located here!
For the third time, they are in our box.
We can't get enough of them!
Can you give us a bit of background on your career so far?
I was a student back then.
Next year I decided to join him and started to roast coffee! I was a love at first sign!
Since then we moved to a bigger place and changed our name to HAYB Speciality Coffee.
Can you tell us where it comes from?
We were thinking about something unique and unusual.
It comes from „how are you doing?”. „How are you brewing?” was supposed to be our name but then we realized the abbreviation of it sounds great!
That's how HAYB name popped up!
We are focusing on the freshest crops available so the coffee is fresh and it doesn’t lay in warehouses for months before roasting.
It's a usual way I would say, but we are doing our best to develop relations with farmers so we can import direct from them.
If you have those two things- keep it simple with brewing! 6g coffee for 100g water, temperature 96C. Do not change too many parameters.
Play with grinding settings and find a perfect spot so coffee is properly extracted!
I’m doing my best to explore the world as often as possible!
I love South America.
Right before the global pandemic, I visited Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
I can’t wait till it all is over and we will be able to travel freely!
My other hobbies are sport, cooking and wine!
We have like two guys who are dubbing everything.
Fortunately, all movies in cinemas are with subtitles :)
