I started my journey in the world of specialty coffees 7 years ago. My experience has evolved with the opening of the first Specialty coffee in Italy, a country marked by a strong coffee tradition. I immediately understood that an important part was played by the training of the baristas and the clients. I have always focused on my training to be able to share it with anyone approaching the coffee world. For 4 years I took care of the training of employees and customers of Ditta Artigianale Coffee Roasters.

I participated in various competitions, like the Brewers cup, to improve contact with the public and to enrich my background.

I had the opportunity to be part of training projects in Honduras, to the startup of a coffee shop in Lithuania as well as several start-ups of local cafes. My training ranges from SCA certifications like Barista, Brewing, Latte art, the first course of Hydraulics foundation and the Coffee Science Certificate. In the last year I have worked in collaboration with new Specialty roasters, organizing courses and cupping and with commercial roasters who want to approach the Specialty world and brewing extraction methods.

I consult for the new openings of coffee shops and roasters, taking care of staff training and focusing on all aspects of hospitality, especially sharing my experience regarding customer approach and the Italian market, still new to the specialty world. I am currently working on the start-up of a specialty coffee shop, Melaleuca Florence, in collaboration with D612 coffee Roaster, organizes workshops and courses for new projects such as the Florence Dream Lab.

At the moment I am organizing courses in some roastery labs, espresso machine and grinders manufacturers, coffee suppliers and academies.
