Ugens gæst hos Hr. København er medstifter af Coffee Collective, Klaus Thomsen.
Klaus fortæller bl.a. om hvordan hans lidenskab til kaffen opstod da han fik job på Starbucks i London, den overordnede tanke bag Coffee Collective - og hvordan hele processen foregår frem mod den perfekte kop kaffe.
Du får også historien om dengang, han vandt World Barista Championship 2006 og hvordan det var at flytte fra landet til kaffens by København.
Så er der selvfølgelig Københavner-Quizzen og til sidst fortæller Klaus en anekdote, der gjorde ham klar på livet som far.
Tracks: Daft Punk - Around the World, Artigeardit - Byen, LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends.

To evade the so-called coffee paradox, four coffee enthusiasts set out to form the Coffee Collective in 2007 in Copenhagen. Hear how co-founder Klaus Thomsen built a sustainable business with a mission to create the best coffee experiences in the world while bringing better returns to the farmers.

Klaus belongs to a new generation of entrepreneurs taking a stand and inspiring others to improve the coffee industry collectively — one bean at the time. In this episode, we talk about purpose-driven profits, transparency from seed to cup, and continued investments in the company culture for future growth.

Episode 6 - The Story Behind The Coffee Roastery & Shop The Coffee Collective With Klaus Thomsen by April Coffee Roasters

This week, as a special Christmas treat, we are jumping
the gun a little bit and sharing an incredible call to action from The Coffee Collective’s Klaus Thomsen
from CoLab: Paris. We’re sharing this now for two reasons: (1) we’re hoping
that with the holiday break, you’ll have the time to watch it from start to
finish in one go , so that you can really let it sink in and (2) this time of year is all about reflecting on the past
year and planning for the future. We’re sincerely hoping that you’ll take
Klaus’ message into account when you’re making those New Year’s resolutions.

We’ve made absolutely no secret that we’ve been asking
Klaus to come and speak at a Tamper Tantrum since its very inception, and we
think it has been worth the wait to get him up on stage—this presentation
highlights one of less-talked about challenges facing the continued production
of quality coffee and offers some solutions as to how we can take strong steps
to improve our collective future.
