Meet The Team

Steff

Owner / Boss / OG (original)

Steff, the man behind it all. The longest serving employee. Proud to have set up Wales’s first speciality coffee roastery. Steff remembers conversions that he hasn’t had and doesn’t remember the conversation he has had; despite this we think he’s a keeper. You’ll find Steff swimming in his beloved lake or drowning in chapel renovations. If you’ve ever met Steff you’ll know his generosity, kindness and good-naturedness is reason why the people love him!

Fave drink: Just loves coffee, (Poblado of course.)

 

Malen

Packing Ninja

You’ll find Malen listening to spooky ghost and murder podcasts with her noise cancelling headphones in, it’s always necessary to approach with caution otherwise she’ll jump out of her skin and scare us all. Her efficiency, attention to detail and organization skills are second to none. Without Malen our coffee wouldn’t go anywhere! When Malen isn’t at work she’s walking in the beautiful surroundings and finding the best cafes with her two boys.

Fave drink: Americano with our Espresso Blend

 

Molls

Operations Manager + Aesthetics

Molly makes sure things run smoothly and more efficiently. Head of aesthetics, she’s the one behind our social media and marketing and connecting with all you lovely customers each week. She makes sure we run like a well-oiled machine, solving problems and getting stuff done.  Even though Molly claims to have retired from rock climbing, you’ll probably find her climbing at least 3 times a week, or running up a mountain or dipping in cold water, always with her camera in tow.

Fave drink: Oaty flat white

 

Larry

Chief Master Roaster General

Head of coffee and roasting. His friends think he just sips coffee all day for a living...what a life eh? But really, Larry is key to why our coffee tastes so good! Larry’s thirst for seeking out great coffee and attention to detail roasting is invaluable to our little team! He is fantastic at impressions, a proud owner of the world’s most clapped-out Volvo and a secret death-metal singer. You’ve probably seen him working in cafes around North Wales.

Fave drink: Natural cold brew

 

Osian

Assistant - everything

Assistant roaster, chief roller of whisky barrels, and packer of espresso. You’ll find Osian listening to pink Floyd or a dub version of Pink Floyd or anything dub to be honest. Osian came to us not liking coffee, but now he starts his days with a whisky flat white in hand whilst telling us about his latest hard climbing projects. Osh is a local boy, he spends all his free time rock climbing in esoteric places around North Wales, he’s a bit of a ‘wad’ (aka really strong)

Fave drink: Whisky flat white

 

Sion

The OG (original)

We couldn’t not include Sion. He’s Still in the group chat – Sion worked at Poblado for years and even though he nearly burnt the roastery down, he’ll be a part of the team forever!

He is the man behind the famous Poblado Plodders. Dal i fynd!
