Looking Back Part 1 - Inspiration
We travelled to the Big Island of Hawaii in October 2007 to participate in the Ironman World Championships held in Kailua-Kona. To be a bit more precise_ Simone taking part and Denise cheering and supporting. Little did we know that we were headed straight for a coffee origin but we were soon to find out.
Looking Back Part 2 - Firing Up
Moving on two years from our initial coffee inspiration in Hawaii - remember_ we wanted to make coffee a fun affair in Switzerland - we started having serious thoughts about making fun coffee happen at the end of 2009.
Looking Back Part 3 - Learning to Walk
Roasting coffee was fascinating and great fun but we felt a little limited in the facility we could rent roasting time in.
Looking Back Part 4 - Up and rolling
After getting our (first and current) roasting space set up we felt the need to connect more with the coffee lovers around us and we wanted to showcase our wonderful product.
Looking Back Part 5 - The B&K Years
Fast forward to 2014 and we opened Benzin & Koffein in Zurich. We had travelled the US West Coast from north to south and had done a few events throughout the summer of 2013.
