Türkiye’den öğrencilerimiz ile Erasmus staj için geldik. Fabrika sahibi Şerif Bey öğrencilerimiz ve bizimle çok yakından ilgilendi. Kendisi adete kahvenin kitabını yazmış diyebilirim. Kahve konusunda tecrübelerini, bilgilerini dinlemek ve tadım yapmak harikaydı. Bize kahvenin tüm tarihçesini, yöntem ve proseslerini, uygulamalı olarak yapılışını anlattı ve bol bol kahve ikram etti. Kendisine çok teşekkür ediyoruz

Am descărcat cafea verde din Italia, iar băieții au fost foarte săritori în a descărca rapid camionul.... Multe salutări tuturor de acolo!

Un loc unic, mai ales pentru amatorii de cafea și arome diverse. Patronul, dnul Șerif, a făcut o prezentare superbă, inclusiv a istoriei cafelei. Recomand atât vizita, cât și cumpărarea produselor.

La Gourmet Coffee îl veți întâlni pe dl. Sherif care vă va zâmbi de cum veți da mâna cu el. Acest om are o experiență de peste 20 de ani atât în cultivarea cafelei cât și în măcinare, prăjire, extragere. Nu există posibilitatea de a da greș!
