“Let your coffee be strong and your purpose stronger”

For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of working with P. Cutajar, continuing a coffee journey that began back in 2017.

Throughout the years, I’ve gained valuable experience with some of the most respected and influential names in the coffee industry, each chapter refining my skills and deepening my passion for the craft.

In 2020, I was honoured to be named Malta’s National Barista Champion — a milestone that marked a defining moment in my career.

These experiences have ignited a strong commitment to mentoring aspiring baristas and sharing the knowledge I’ve accumulated over the years.

I’m driven by a desire to elevate the next generation of coffee professionals and contribute to the growth of our vibrant coffee community.
