Fresh coffee straight from the motorcycle? Sound like a crackpot idea. And, in a way, it is. Sebastian\u00a0<\/span>Tenius<\/span>\u00a0drew the first design on a beer mat many years ago. He is always up for crazy ideas, especially when it comes to crafts. The title \u201eMister Handicraft\u00a0<\/span>2021\u201c therefore<\/span>\u00a0suits the man with the broad smile perfectly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The striking aroma emerges from the workshop \u2013 a mixture of tires, engine oil and chain grease. Sebastian\u00a0<\/span>Tenius<\/span>\u00a0is never happier than when he is working with KTM, Honda and Husqvarna motor bikes. 35-year-old Sebastian holds a master craftsman qualification in motorcycle and bicycle mechanics. From Monday to Friday, he spends his working week tinkering with treasured vintage vehicles and souped-up two-wheelers at the \u201cEnduro Bunker\u201d in Ingolstadt. Saturdays are devoted to his Honda\u00a0<\/span>Transalp<\/span> and to the coffee machine which will soon be installed on it. \u201cThe idea came to me one night. I was still working as a doorman at the time and was standing around chatting to some friends outside.\u201d After sketching out a concept on a beer mat and a sheet torn from a waiter\u2019s notepad, Sebastian consigned the idea to the back burner for the next seven years. Last year, however, he became seized by ambition and decided to embark upon the project.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

He commissioned a specialist milling firm to shape a copper spiral. The intention is for this to be wrapped around the manifold so that the water passing through can be heated up. The hot water is then squeezed through a coffee pad, and the finished beverage can be collected in a conventional espresso pot. At least this is the theory. \u201cI already have all the individual parts,\u201d says Sebastian. \u201cI now need to harmonize all these components and test out what happens in practice.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The sudden award of a\u00a0<\/span>\u201cMister Handicraft\u201d title<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Munich-born Sebastian is no stranger to projects which start out as a bit of fun before becoming rather more serious. A similar thing occurred when he entered the \u201cMister Handicraft\u201d competition. \u201cI only applied for a joke. But I made it onto the final short list, and all that was left to me was to take the bull by the horns. When I begin something, I also want to bring it to a successful\u00a0<\/span>conclusion.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The<\/span>\u00a0Calendar by\u00a0<\/span>Germany\u2018<\/span>s Power People, in which Sebastian is the face of June, has been on display in the workshop at the Enduro Bunker ever since. Philipp Mirkovic, a\u00a0<\/span>22-year-old<\/span> trainee at the firm, describes the sensation of seeing his trainer as a calendar model each day. \u201cYou do tend to feel that he is watching over us a bit. He didn\u2019t say anything at all about it to start with. We only found out by chance.\u201d But there would have been no need for Sebastian to conceal his competition entry from his colleagues. \u201cI find it great that he is so committed to promoting the craft trades sector,\u201d says Philipp. Following his shortlisting and subsequent victory, Sebastian has received only positive comments and congratulations from within his work environment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Raising awareness for the importance of repairs<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Sebastian is seeking to use his Mister Handicraft status to encourage young people to enter a skilled manual occupation and to promote the topic of sustainability. He feels that too many things are immediately thrown away instead of being maintained and repaired. \u201cReplacing parts is not the only job of a mechanic. You should also try to find out why something is broken and how it can be saved,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe are able to resurrect nine out of every ten\u00a0<\/span>motorcycles<\/span> which have been declared dead.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Nevertheless, Sebastian\u2019s bike-mounted \u201ccoffee machine\u201d remains the only way of waking up tired riders. A new culinary highlight is now uppermost in his mind. The idea this time is an integrated grill. Sebastian grins broadly: \u201cThe coffee can be prepared up front whilst a sausage sizzles away at the back.\u201d He is truly a bright spark and an ingenious \u201cMister Handicraft\u201d from whom many an offbeat brainwave can be expected in future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
