NICHOLAS FITZWILLIAMS, JAVA Coffee CEO
Many good things happen by accident. I applied for a job in South Africa and on my first day, my boss at the time decided to delegate me to Poland. After arriving in Warsaw in 2000, together with two friends from America, we decided to open the first Stoney Piont Java coffee shop on Pańska Street. We worked from 6 a.m., making sandwiches and roasting coffee. In 2003, we saw that it was starting to work. We saw a bright future for high-quality coffee roasted locally. We stopped running coffee shops and focused solely on roasting coffee. This was the beginning of JAVA Coffee.
Purely by accident, I also met a beautiful girl during this time who agreed to spend her life with me.
Today, over 20 years later, I spend 6 days a week at work, because apart from working in the office, on Saturdays I am at our JAVA Pop-Up at the Warsaw BioBazar, entertaining and serving guests.
I am very happy to work with a wonderful team of coffee enthusiasts. Coffee has the power to attract wonderful people.
What will happen next? I have no idea, but I am incredibly happy with everything that has happened so far and is happening every day.
Head Roaster
JAKUB KRAWCZYK
18 years ago, he left his job in banking and stood behind an espresso machine for the first time. A coffee addict, vinyl collector, occasional photographer, and a seeker of good moments. Always ready to help whenever he can!
At JAVA Coffee, he oversees everything that happens directly in the roastery. He listens closely to our customers, observes their preferences, and selects coffees that they love to drink. He ensures the highest quality of roasted beans, maintains work standards in the roastery, and—most importantly—fosters a great atmosphere.
Head Trainer of JAVA University
MICHAL ŻMUDA
My coffee roots go back to a certain famous coffee cellar in Poznań. It and the coffee anarchists there shaped me as a coffee lover. I like to break conventions and encourage experimentation; inspire and show different options. During trainings, the most important thing for me is effectiveness, which is created by transferring knowledge in an accessible way in the most relaxed atmosphere - it is known that we learn best through play.
Coffee is an incredibly plastic material that we absorb with all our senses. Sensorics in coffee are like beans of all flavors from the famous saga about the young wizard. The art of painting on coffee, aka Latte Art, is Art with a capital "A" and a wonderful skill that requires consistency and conscientiousness. Many fields such as chemistry or physics can be used in alternative coffee brewing, but I am much closer to simplifying the subject according to the well-known slogan "Coffee is not mathematics" than making it another field of philosophy. Coffee is an extremely sociable drink, being a pretext for meetings, conducive to conversation, great ideas and concepts. It is also everyday life, enveloping us from the inside on a cold October day.
So what? Maybe some coffee?

Marketing Manager
NATALIA WANTS
There are people who always sense the atmosphere in the room and try to motivate others to act, while sharing contacts, helping to connect the dots of the project, suggesting good ideas and getting things done right away that initially seemed unachievable. That's Natalia, in her everyday life, but also when she leads the Marketing team at JAVA Coffee Roasters.
She always wanted to be a barista. She would have definitely succeeded if it weren't for business psychology and marketing, which she's simply great at. The love for coffee stayed, but combined with the H2H (Human to Human) approach, it became the basis of Natka's actions at JAVA. Because coffee is not only something you have to know, but also understand, just like the people you work with and communicate with via social media and other communication channels.
Natka bases its activities on relationships, connecting people who share a love of coffee. The community it builds is as strong as espresso.

"I came to Java from a completely different industry, and since I love coffee and great people...
For the first six months I worked in the office as an Office Manager, but an opportunity for development arose and I changed my position and became an Operations Manager.
There's a lot going on here, so I report, analyze, organize and control.
And I teach how to pour, decant and taste coffee :)"
