Rostyslav Ivaniuk, Ukraine
COFIUM roastery
Please tell us a little about yourself:
A small roastery in a small but beautiful city, where no one is in a hurry and where you can work with coffee at a relaxed pace.
I've loved coffee since childhood, so when the opportunity came up, I practiced and took part in competitions.
When I was a kid, I saw a coffee commercial on TV and got so fascinated that I've been into it ever since.
Here, it's often just a part-time job for students, but I always wanted to be in this field, so when I was a student, I took the opportunity.
What are you excited to do while you visit the WCC city?
Connections with the best in the field
What are your interests outside of coffee?
Maybe Powerlifting
Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognize, or who helped you to prepare for the WCC?
I have many people to thank - my family, colleagues, and close friends. I'm grateful to everyone involved.
