How did you get the idea of doing business in this field ? I loved the smells , the tastes , the sounds of the machine ... I wanted to learn more and more , so I took up the position of head of training in one of the largest coffee import and production companies . Then I became production manager at a coffee processing plant . What is the different thing that Coffee Labs have to offer ? What distinguishes you from the competition ? Coffee Lab is the first and foremost representative for the third wave of coffee . We check the coffee path from production at the farm as well as harvest and transport conditions . Highest-quality single-source coffees account for only 10 % of world production . This in itself demonstrates the great difference our chain has in relation to competition What would you say is the secret of your success ? We love our work a lot . We have a passion for coffee , we know very well how to make coffee , but we never rest . We research , we test , we learn new things and we choose the best in the world market and in the best harvest period . Do you think that people have been “ trained ” in terms of coffee ? Are they more demanding now ? That ’ s true . In recent years , consumers have smelled aromas , have tasted flavors that they did not know they could exist in their coffee and have begun to distinguish the superior quality and to look for it . This is the main reason why Coffee Lab has loyal fans , the reason Coffee Lab is becoming a daily habit . You have opened almost 80 stores in 3 years ... What are your future plans ? Growing the number of stores is not an end in itself . Our most important goal , however , is to help spread the quality coffees , to keep our friends , the consumers who prefer us , happy as well as our partners who trust us .
Τα Coffee Lab ξεκίνησαν στη Χαλκίδα το 2009 από τον κο . Στέλιο Ρουμελιώτη , o oποίος έχει κερδίσει δύο φορές το Barista Champion . Σκοπός του ήταν να δημιουργήσει ένα εργαστήριο επεξεργασίας και παραγωγής ποιοτικού καφέ . Οι ποικιλίες που υπάρχουν σε κάθε κατάστημα Coffee Lab προέκυψαν μετά από προσωπική έρευνα του κ . Ρουμελιώτη στο εξωτερικό προκειμένου να βρει τους πιο κατάλληλους καλλιεργητές από τη Βραζιλία , τη Γουατεμάλα , την Αιθιοπία και την Κένυα . Πρωταρχικός στόχος της εταιρείας είναι να διατηρεί την υψηλή της ποιότητα αλλά και να διαθέτει άρτια εκπαιδευμένους συνεργάτες και υπαλλήλους . Στο εκπαιδευτικό κέντρο της εταιρείας , στο Μοσχάτο το προσωπικό όλων των καταστημάτων μαθαίνει τα μυστικά της παρασκευής των ποιοτικών καφέδων και μυείται στην τέχνη του καφέ . Σε όλα τα καταστήματα θα βρεις εξαιρετικό καφέ , ροφήματα όπως τσάι και σοκολάτα , αλμυρά και γλυκά εδέσματα . Επισκεφθείτε ένα από τα καταστήματα της Coffee Lab για να απολαύσετε τον καφέ σας σε ένα μοντέρνο και φιλόξενο χώρο και να ζητήσετε πληροφορίες από το εξειδικευμένο προσωπικό για το ρόφημά σας .
Coffee Lab started in Chalkida in 2009 by mr . Stelios Roumeliotis , who has twice won the Barista Champion . His aim was to create a quality coffee processing and production lab . The varieties we can find in each Coffee Lab store have come out after personal research by Stelios Roumeliotis abroad to find the most suitable growers from Brazil , Guatemala , Ethiopia and Kenya . The primary objective of the company is to maintain its high quality but also to have well trained associates and employees . In the training center of the company , in Moschato , the staff of all stores learns the secrets of making quality coffees and is introduced to the art of coffee . In all stores we will find excellent coffee , beverages like tea and chocolate , savory and sweet treats .
