Our great team
Our great, consistent and friendly team accompanies us for many years.
Each individual is aware of his or her responsibility and our always open ear and a positive environment allows the team to remain productive and support our values of Cult Caffè.
Only through the commitment, dedication, loyalty and reliability of our team and actually almost “never sick leave” 😊 we were able to Cult Caffè to make it what it is today.
Walter Schweifer
Coffee expert and strong pillar of Cult Caffè
Founder and shareholder, a thoughtful thinker and sharp calculator, and naturally passionate about world-class coffee. He's been an enthusiastic entrepreneur since 1995, driven by conviction and the joy of daily decision-making freedom. He still enjoys working at the roasting machine himself, tinkering with new blends, checking all green coffee purchases, and has all the numbers memorized.
When it's not about coffee, he's in a rowboat when the Danube waters are calm, otherwise he's a fast runner and loves playing the saxophone.
Silvia Lasselsberger
Soul and foundation of Cult Caffè
Founder and partner, she guides her team through the coffee world with a straightforward, assertive, and responsible approach. She's on the front lines every day – whether in the office, production, Cult Caffè Bar & Caffe Boutique, or with her beloved customers.
Entrepreneur since 1980. Tradition, convention, and consistency are very important to her.
When it's not about Cult Caffè, she is a passionate hobby gardener, loves to cook - never exactly according to a recipe because she doesn't have a Thermomix :-), loves her home, likes beautiful shoes and Italian Cultura di Caffè.
Tobias Gschoßmann
Our all-round talent
Tobias joined our team in November 2020. His sensitivity makes him the right man for roasting and handling beans, and his technical understanding is perfect for his love of coffee machines and fine-tuning grinders. He's the ideal and reliable all-rounder that Cult Caffè needs. In his free time, he enjoys stroking his three Vespas and cruising around the region. He's also a loving dad to Felix and Mila.
Petra Gschoßmann
Social Media
Petra is standing in for Silvia, should she ever fly out 🙂
She checks social media, our website and our online shop – purchases our cup equipment and looks after our “ex-factory” sales and the guests on our factory tours.
She is a passionate vegetarian and cooks sensationally healthy and varied meals, from which her kids Felix (15) and Mila (12) benefit wonderfully.
Manuela Hametner
Secretariat, accounting
Manuela, our "veteran" at Cult Caffè, is our calming influence and our solution-oriented, attentive, and reliable all-rounder who doesn't miss a thing. She currently manages our entire accounting and back office operations with a high level of concentration. As a mother of two very lively children, she naturally works part-time. In her free time, she enjoys cycling and doing lots of activities with her kids.
Barbara Kühnl
Expedit, shipping
Our little gem – no Cult Caffè bag or package doesn't pass through her hands. Nimble and fast as a machine, she's indispensable every day and always there when you need her. Barbara enjoys cycling and gardening, is a classic car fanatic, and enjoys driving around with her husband and their Mustang.
Sandra Neunlinger
Ordering, invoicing
She enjoys the entire ordering process and customer contact on the phone every day. 🙂 She consistently follows up on every delivery note to ensure her focus on invoicing (which is, after all, very important) is met reliably. Sandra is also a mother of two children and works part-time at Cult Caffè. Sandra is a trained yoga instructor, enjoys reading, and takes long walks with her family dog, Jack.
Verena Lechner
Expedit, shipping
Verena, our newest addition, joined our team in April 2024 and supports Barbara with bottling, packaging, and online shop shipping. She's the mother of a 3-year-old, who naturally keeps her busy. She regularly treats our team to homemade cakes and deliciously fresh pretzel sticks.
Valentina Lasselsberger
Valentina brings energy and good humor to the coffee and is a great addition to the team.
Coco Wasabi is the creative mind behind Cult Caffè. Her imagination inspires the cup design, the art collection, and designs labels and packaging.
