CoLab: Paris: “Ensuring Coffee’s Future” | Klaus Thomsen (The Coffee Collective)
This week, as a special Christmas treat, we are jumping
the gun a little bit and sharing an incredible call to action from The Coffee Collective’s Klaus Thomsen
from CoLab: Paris. We’re sharing this now for two reasons: (1) we’re hoping
that with the holiday break, you’ll have the time to watch it from start to
finish in one go , so that you can really let it sink in and (2) this time of year is all about reflecting on the past
year and planning for the future. We’re sincerely hoping that you’ll take
Klaus’ message into account when you’re making those New Year’s resolutions.
We’ve made absolutely no secret that we’ve been asking
Klaus to come and speak at a Tamper Tantrum since its very inception, and we
think it has been worth the wait to get him up on stage—this presentation
highlights one of less-talked about challenges facing the continued production
of quality coffee and offers some solutions as to how we can take strong steps
to improve our collective future.

Klaus Thomsen first picked up a portafilter in 2001 in
London. Shortly after returning home to Denmark, Klaus won the Danish Barista
Championship in both 2004 (placing 3rd in the 2004 WBC) and 2006,
when he went on to win the World Barista Championship.
In 2007, he joined with Peter N. Dupont, Casper E.
Rasmussen, and Linus Törsäter to open The Coffee Collective. Now, as both
Co-Owner and Director of Sales, Marketing, and Barista Education, Klaus
helps to grow the team of/with 30 baristas working at The Coffee
Collective’s three shops (Jaegersborggade, Torvehallerne,
and Godthåbsvej). To follow along with all of the cool things happening at
The Coffee Collective, check out their instagram, facebook, or website.
