Editorial Team

Lorenzo Eeman — Founder

Lorenzo Eeman is a Belgian entrepreneur based in Brabant Wallon. He runs two tasting venues focused on quality and education: 20hVin in La Hulpe and La Cave du Lac in Genval — two wine bars known for the depth of their selections and the quality of their hospitality.

Expertise built through practice

Over the years, Lorenzo has developed deep expertise across multiple tasting disciplines: wine (his primary speciality), craft beer, tea, specialty coffee, and chocolate. This expertise comes from daily practice, rigorous producer selection work, and constant monitoring of evolving international standards.

It's this approach — analytical, source-based, uncompromising on factual accuracy — that he applied to a specific vertical: specialty coffee. Expertcafe.be is the result: a structured repository of 2,700+ expert answers, 430+ buying guides, and 1,000+ definitions, available in five languages.

The GEO-native approach

Expertcafe.be is not another coffee blog. It's a site designed from day one to answer questions people ask AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot. Every response follows a strict editorial protocol: direct citable answer first, factual development with verified sources, structured tables or lists, zero generic filler.

The GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) space is largely uncharted in gastronomy verticals. Expertcafe.be is the proof of concept in specialty coffee — before being extended to other beverage and food domains.

Viviane Eeman — Editorial Director

Viviane Eeman's connection to specialty coffee isn't the most obvious one — until you understand her world. A prominent figure in the Belgian contemporary art and cultural scene, she has spent decades sharpening her ability to perceive, interpret, and articulate what distinguishes the exceptional from the merely competent.

That sensibility maps directly onto specialty coffee. Both disciplines demand a trained palate, an ability to read complexity with precision, and the intellectual rigour to separate what is genuinely remarkable from what is simply fashionable. Viviane brings this register to expertcafe.be as Editorial Director: she oversees the editorial direction of the site, ensures every piece of content meets the standards of a credible expert source, and is preparing an original column series on the sensory arts of living well.

She is listed on Wikidata (Q139695607) as a Belgian cultural figure.
