"Nothing makes me cry more than decaf, nothing makes better decaf than my tears" - Jim Hawdon
Jim has worked in coffee for over 10 years and remarks how coffee continues to amaze him and that IDC brings him a great sense of fulfillment and meaning, giving him the motivation and confidence to take risks to better himself both at work and outside of work. He loves coffee and consumes his fair share (and more) of it with his go-to drink being an Americano. His current favourite machine is the ECM Puristika because it is simple and pure and beautiful.

Damian works in operations at iDrinkCoffee.com. He is responsible for making sure orders get shipped accurately and on time.
Damian's mom found giving up coffee difficult during her pregnancy with him and he attributes his love of coffee to this prenatal exposure.
One of Damian's favourite things at IDC is packaging tea because of all the varied and wonderful aromas of our full leaf teas. He likes packaging coffee for the same reason. Damian's go to drink is an americano to which he likes to add some milk and a little sugar.
Head of Security
Toby
Head of Security
"I won’t drink black coffee."
Toby graduated from Obedience School with Honours in 2012, and thus employed as Head of Security here at idrinkcoffee. He spends his days sleeping in his crate, barking at delivery drivers, begging co-workers for affection and coaxing customers to play with him. He loves the social aspect of the position as he has no formal training with coffee, or even much of a taste for it.
Toby’s favorite idrinkcoffee pick is anything that is served with milk.
Chief Caffeine Director
Slawek Janicki
Chief Caffeine Director
"Coffee is a ritual, a guilt free treat that you can enjoy everyday. It's also the sustenance to nearly 10% of the world's population.”
Slawek is the founder and CEO of iDrinkCoffee. Although his educational background is in English literature, he has been working in sales for nearly 20 years and in the coffee game since 2009. There is no choice for Slawek to be involved in all aspects of the business and be completely hands on- this is his dream job! But no matter how full his days are, he still finds time to spend with his wife and two adorable children.
Slawek’s top picks are the Slayer Single Group and anything else that makes a perfect cortado.
Disclaimer: When asked to divulge his coffee charisma and reveal his top picks, Slawek could not be held to just one or two. He went on to explain that he tends to like the lighter roasts and coffees that are bright and fruity. He admitted that it was too hard for him to nail down but recollected that the very first specialty coffee exposed to him was Ethiopian Harrar; “it was like nothing I had ever tasted before and opened my mind (and my palate) to what coffee can be.”
