Michael Manhart
Independent
I was born in Salzburg and had my first contact with good coffee in 2013. I’ve taken part in 3 Aeropress Championships, 3 Cup Tasters Championships and in 2 Brewers Cups (2016 – 2nd place, 2017 – 1st place), and in Goran Hubers “Tiroler und Internationale Baristameisterschaften 2016” in the Filter Coffee Challenge (1st place). I love fruity coffee!
