Robert Brinck
Robert entered the coffee industry at the age of twenty and since then has collaborated with us as a trainer and contributed to bring to life many of our projects. Together we've been able to develop a specific course for espresso machine maintenance and created a small international community of expert technicians helping each other by sharing professional advice. Outside of our courses Robert has a role in quality control and roasting of specialty coffees for CaffeLab and, in our consultancy projects for roasting companies and coffee shops, he is responsible for the selection of the necessary equipment, coffee and development of the final product.
