From bread to coffee: Miesbach's master baker discovers a new business area!
Master baker Florian Perkmann from Miesbach is successfully continuing his late friend's coffee roasting business.
From bread to coffee: Miesbach's master baker discovers a new business area!
In Miesbach, master baker Florian Perkmann has made an impressive new start with his coffee roasting company “Bohnenreich”. Not originally planned, Perkmann came to the roastery after a tragic accident cost the life of his friend Hans Priller. The former roasting master had died unexpectedly, and Perkmann, who felt connected to him through their shared passion for coffee, wanted to preserve his legacy. So he took over the coffee roasting business in order to continue it, as he said in a report by merkur.de explained. With great commitment and little sleep, he developed the modest roastery from Kolbermoor into a flourishing business in Miesbach.
Successful rise in the coffee business
Perkmann quickly realized that the combination of bakery and coffee roastery worked perfectly together. From an initial eight tons of green coffee per year, annual sales have now increased to 28 tons. The roastery now offers 23 different types of coffee and plans to celebrate an anniversary in 2025: the bakery will be 40 years old and the roastery will have been in existence for five years. However, Perkmann takes on the challenges associated with the roasting with joy, he emphasizes: "It's a full-time job, but it's fun. I really enjoy doing it."
But a new chapter was also opened in Schilcherland: the first coffee roasting café in the Hubmann department store in Stainz was ceremoniously opened. Managing director Florian Hubmann shared with the guests the exciting history of coffee in Austria and the great support his project has received. He referred to the excellent work of his team during the opening, when the first guests were allowed to enter the roastery to try the newly created, special coffee varieties. Hubmann described the project as not just a Hubmann project, but as a joint project for the Schilcherland and its people, which he described in an article by meinkreis.at highlighted.
The new roastery offers four different types of coffee, including organic beans. The outstanding mix, which comes from different countries, reflects the high quality standards and innovative strength of the project. The coffee roasting machine is called “Gisi” and is operated by two competent women who work as roasters. Both innovations show that the rise of the coffee trade in Austria is still unbroken and that the bars are dynamic.
