"Coffee roasting has become an independent leg of the company"
- Coffee concept was born
At first I only roasted for my own restaurant, and over time we got more and more inquiries. Coffee roasting has become an increasingly strong leg of the company and a mission and love for me.
With our own coffee roasting, a long process of learning and development has begun, which has now evolved into a complete coffee concept: from educating our partners, to professional coffee roasting, to putting the concept together. This was embodied in today's Black Sheep Café on Csapó Street in Debrecen, following our first café, Cut & Coffee, which was one of the first rural specialty cafes in Hungary.
Someone can be a really good professional in this field if they are constantly educating themselves, they know and can use raw materials and new technologies. And of course he looks at coffee with a determined passion.
I have always tried to learn from recognized specialists. I gained my knowledge from foreign coffee roasting masters, including Barcelona and Hungary. And in 2019, Filip Åkerblom at the top training of world-renowned Swedish coffee roaster coach, who has previously coached several world coffee roasting champions.
In 2018 and 2019, I took part in the Hungarian Cup Taster Championship, where my first goal was development. I finished 2nd in 2018 and 3rd in 2019.

He is the roaster of the 2017 Aeropress Hungarian Championship, who also attended the top training of Filip Åkerblom, the world-famous Swedish coffee roaster coach, who was the coach of several world coffee roaster champions before. Gábor took part in the Hungarian Cup Taster (coffee tasting) Championship in 2017 and 2019 as well, where his first goal was development. He finished 2nd in 2017 and 3rd in 2019.
The basis of good coffee is expertly roasted coffee, in which technology also plays a key role. That’s why there was a really defining twist in his life when, in August 2017, two new GIESEN roasters were finally added to the Black Sheep coffee lab. They are the same ones used as the racing machine for the World Coffee Roasting Championships.
"I ALWAYS WANTED TO GIVE GOOD AND QUALITY OUT OF CONFIDENCE AND PASSION."
