Chris Hilder

FOUNDER & TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

Chris is the inventor and developer of the Kaffelogic Nano, having started on his journey to find the perfect coffee back in 2015. Through sheer determination, Chris’s dream was realised in 2017 when Kaffelogic was officially registered as a company in New Zealand. Chris opted to build the team up here in Dunedin, New Zealand. With over 8,000 units now distributed to over 20 countries around the world, Kaffelogic is now a well know name in the coffee industry.
