HI KO FI is the vision of Gregor Blažič and Matija Krebs, who simply wanted to offer the city of Maribor a different, more transparent coffee. Due to the desire to raise the quality and culture of coffee drinking, they want to offer customers only the best. The coffee offer is complemented by selected Slovenian wines, beer from local microbreweries and other selected beverages. Since they do not want to work on the packaging, but on the content, the bar is equipped with top-quality equipment that helps to achieve a higher quality final product.

It all starts with a good filtration system. At HI KO FI they came up with reverse osmosis, which ensures that the water is always excellent. They are making coffee on the LaMarzocco Stradi apparatus, which allows excellent control over coffee extraction. Theirs too coffee grinder is different from the classical ones. Make sure that the coffee does not stay in it, so that it falls into each one shot real fresh 21 grams of coffee (as opposed to the classic 6 to 8 grams).
The coffee they offer changes. For a while, they have, for example, species such as Kenya, Colombia, Costa Rica, again a second time Ethiopia, Congo or Guatemala. It's about you single origin coffee (one type of coffee). They also offer blend, which is a mixture of several different ones single origin coffee. This is also changing. The coffee they provide is seasonal, but they are currently waiting for the very fresh new coffees of this season.
They roast the coffee themselves at a local roastery and this one is less roasted than other commercial coffees, which of course is best known by the taste. If you are used to bitter taste, their world of coffee is completely different. Blend, which is their most roasted coffee, has bitterness instead of unpleasant bitterness dark chocolate, tobacco or nut flavor. Single origin coffees (Kenya, Guatemala, Ethiopia) are known as fruit coffees, because they have dominant notes of fruit acids (currant, strawberry, apple...). With proper roasting, they achieve this balanced cup of coffee.
Because they swear by freshness, you can also eat with your coffee freshly baked croissant or drink freshly squeezed juice. In the afternoons, guests also like to reach for house wine or sparkling wine and other Marof delicacies. They are always on the lookout for great drops, which is why they have them on offer champagne from France (Drapier). It's beer on tap and local (Lobik), two are on permanent offer, and one is changing. (Session).
The menu is constantly changing. They always are in search of new quality products, which could impress their customers, coffees are seasonal throughout the year. Due to the ever-changing offer, they decided to self-service system, which means that customers order at the bar, pour the water themselves, and the employees bring the order.
When you visit HI KO FI, you can sit inside where they are parts of the walls dedicated to coffee and you to the third wave of coffee, and there is also on the counter in front of the drip tower the mini coffee manual, which guests can also take home. It is also open in good weather small summer garden, which was kept in an informal style like most of the interior.
