'El Don de Rift'

After a successful career in male modelling I decided to throw my hat at the coffee industry. Coffee, starting off as a hobby & passion project quickly turned into an obsession.

I learned all that I could. I had the opportunity to compete in national coffee competitions (not as successful as my modelling) & work within the industry in different areas to learn what I could before diverting my efforts into Rift Coffee.

Apart from coffee I have studied herbal medicine, lived in Spain learning Spanish & obtained countless new hobbies, most recently vintage road bikes.

I enjoy all coffee but espresso & filter would be my preference but I do love milky drinks too!

Hey, I’m Siobhan. I moved to Ennis in 2016 from New York to pursue a MA in Ethnochoreology (Dance anthropology) at UL.

If I had to summarize myself as one thing, it would be ‘dancer’. In addition to being one of the rockstar staff at Rift, I mostly spend my time engrossed in one of my many interests, including dance, photography, design, film, food, & the list goes on.

Some of my crazy goals & dreams are to continue my dance career, start a production company, learn Spanish & Italian, open a small diner in upstate NY, have an orchard & sell my own cider, & become an amazing cook. 

Coffee entered my life around the young of 7, so I’ve been an avid coffee drinker for the majority of my life. I honestly can’t pick one favorite, but I generally tend to prefer a filter coffee to espresso. 

My name is Katarzyna Wieczorkiewicz, but it's easier to call me Kate. I come from Gdańsk, Poland but I have been walking the three Shannon bridges since 2008.

I enjoy preparing healthy plant based foods, especially desserts as I have a real sweet tooth. Luckily, I also like staying fit doing my workouts.

Travelling, dancing & hanging out with my boyfriend are some of my favourites. Have I mentioned food? I think so.

I love coffee brewed in a moka pot & espresso, I usually enjoy it black or with plant milk. The only coffee I don't like is bad coffee. 

If I could have a super power I'd like to fly.
