Eli’s Caffe - simply luxury coffee
 Hello, moje ime je Nik...
Neznam iskreno kako bih napisao ili opisao sebe i svoj odnos prema kavi kroz par recenica. Znam da sam je jednu vecer sanjao kako je spravljam u nekakvoj kocki i znam da sam sljedece jutro odmah rekao supruzi da ja zatvaram svoj dotadasnji poslovni put te zelim otvoriti caffe s pravom kavom jer sam to sanjao! Zena je naprosto poludjela!
Iako ja nikada prije nisam popio salicu kave, vec iste godine, samo par mjeseci nakon otvaranja caffe bara, postao sam prvi put barista champion Hrvatske i tako jos dva puta, ukupno tri puta prvak...
Kava ima na tisuce, ali nisam bio dovoljno sretan dok nisam sam poceo prziti kavu. Moj puta kave je vec prve godine bio buntovnicki, od Tokija do Londona, od Osla do Edinburga...sebe sam nalazio svugdje gdje su bii pravi ljubitelji kave, a Oslo mi je postao moj osobni Vatikan...
...izdao sam i knjigu o kavi, pisem blog o kavi vec tri godine, putujem i propovijedam, przim i snabdjevam lokale po RH i od nedugo i u Srbiji...kava bi mogla i morala razbiti granice i pomiriti ljude...
Nema svrhe pricati o meni jer moja misija je pricati o kavi koja je cudo, cudo koje povezuje ljude i bez koje ne mogu zamisliti danasnji svijet u kojem zivimo...
| "Hello, my name is Nik...
I honestly don't know how to write about or describe myself and my relationship with coffee in a few sentences. I know that I dreamt about coffee one night, about how I was preparing it in some box and I know that I told my wife, immediately the next morning, that I was finished with my previous business career and that I wanted to open a café with real coffee because I had dreamt it! My wife simply went mad!
Even though I had never drank a cup of coffee before, the same year, only a few months after opening a café bar, I became the barista champion of Croatia for the first time, and then two more times, altogether three times I won first place.There are thousands of types of coffee, but I was not satisfied enough until I had started roasting my own coffee. Already in the first year, my coffee journey was a rebellious one, from Tokyo to London , from Oslo to Edinburgh. I found myself everywhere true lovers of coffee were, and Oslo became my personal Vatican...
...I even published a book about coffee, I have been writing a blog about coffee for three years already, I travel and preach, I roast and supply bars throughout Croatia and since recently, in Serbia as well. Coffee could and should break boundaries and reconcile people...
There's no point to talk about me because my mission is to speak about coffee which is a miracle, a miracle that connects people and without which I cannot imagine today's world in which we live..."
