My Coffee Story by Anton Mianovskyi, co-founder

Background

I've been working in coffee for almost 16 years now. I started in this field as a sales manager in a small company called Gemini Espresso, which was roasting and selling coffee.

I've spent 15 years there, slowly making that small and unknown company into one of the Ukrainian market's leaders and one of the 5 largest coffee producers in the country. Now I'm the CEO of Gemini Espresso.

How did we create YOCO?

All those years, I wanted to create something more personal and closer to the vision I've had in my mind ever since the beginning. The specialty coffee market is growing fast, so I decided it was time to become a part of this developing coffee culture. 

Having a colossal experience in coffee and creating one of the strongest brands in Ukraine, I decided that now is the time. I cooperated with some great people from my team, and we founded YOCO.

YOCO combines our vast experience, knowledge, great team and unlimited possibilities.

Since the beginning, we understood our niche in the coffee market – we trade "indie" coffee. We don't sell the same coffee as other roasters, we source coffee ourselves, and we buy out the entire lot if we like it. Basically, you just won't find the same coffee anywhere!

What's coffee for me?

Coffee is globetrotting and adventures.

Also, coffee is my job that became a hobby – and I work with the thing I love!

It's not just a product – it has a soul. Coffee is something you can never fully understand because new varieties and processing methods are created every year.
