Mario Felix Liebold zu Gast bei -Mensch, Otto!-auf Radio Bayern3

“One must truly discover coffee. The ceremony for a good bean involves time and the right preparation.”

For Mario Felix Liebold, Germans' favorite beverage is much more than just black and hot. Coffee is his calling and passion. A passion that can also be heard from him. Because he says: "You have to slurp coffee!"

Mario Felix Liebold is an award-winning coffee roaster and barista. Since 2007, he has operated the first coffee roastery in Tegernsee and his own café. However, he is actually a trained dental technician and export economist. But coffee fascinated him even as a small boy. "I was surrounded by coffee junkie women. My grandma and my mother always had a cup of coffee somewhere." As a teenager, he also lived with his parents for two and a half years in Bahrain, where his enthusiasm continued to grow: "I just found it exciting what all you can do with coffee!"

After traveling around the world for about 200 days a year for work, he also visited the world's largest coffee-producing country, Brazil. There, and also because he was no longer happy in his job, he developed the idea of turning his hobby into a profession. This year, Mario Felix Liebold celebrates the eighth anniversary of his roastery and is pleased that he was able to convince the initially quite skeptical residents of Tegernsee of his coffee specialties.
