Coffee is a daily ritual that millions of Ukrainians start their day with. For some, it's a quick shot of espresso before work, for others, it's a peaceful morning with filter coffee in a large cup.

But for Gemini founder Oleksiy Tarnapolsky, making coffee is much more than a habit; it's a life's work that began with his first sip of espresso in the 90s.

In a conversation with LIGA.net He shared how coffee became his profession, talked about his favorite rituals, gave advice for beginners, and discussed how Ukrainians' coffee habits have changed during the war.
