Welcome
I’m Tumi, Icelandic barista and trainer. This site is for collecting everything I’m learning about coffee, education, hospitality and work-life balance.
Coffee has made me a curious human being; so much so that I view every topic with the same question in mind: How does it overlap with coffee?
About me
Worked in coffee since 2006, working bar, training baristas; lately I’ve been involved in product development, QC and setting up LMS for on-boarding staff training.
I write about anything from the viewpoint of coffee. Mainly of barista life, learning and service.
Placed 19th in the World Barista Championship in 2011, held in Bogotá.
Former co-owner at Reykjavík Roasters.
Husband. Father of two kids.
I send out an occasional newsletter with updates on my work as a coffee professional, articles, notes on books I’m reading and other findings that have interested me. Fill in your email in the form below to get it straight to your inbox!
