Discover Machina Coffee Roasters and the incredible coffee they showcase.
Who are Machina Coffee Roasters?
Machina Coffee Roasters are one of Edinburgh’s leading speciality coffee roasters.
It all began with an Ex DJ and Coffee professional who bonded over their love for music and this magical caffeinated beverage. It became apparent that the third love the two shared was equipment and that was how Machina coffee as a brand started.
As the business meandered through its identity there was always a goal in sight - roasting premium speciality coffee in Edinburgh.
This was the direction in which they intended to lead Machina and did so with hard work and resisting the need to invite investors who may have changed the brand’s course.
Steve and Michael were inspired by cafe’s they visited while travelling such as Intelligentsia in LA, Gimme Coffee in Brooklyn, Customs in Wellington and Bear Pond in Shimokitazawa.
These were places that not only were pioneering coffee roasting but also the service that came with it and the pair knew that this was the blueprint of success.
Machina source the highest quality of coffee from origins that are in season when the crops are at their peak in terms of quality.
They have a great approach to sourcing which is trying to break away from the conventional wisdom about origin and taste. They look to dig a little deeper into the origins that they source from and uncover farms and producers that may not have been heard of and hold the prestige of the farm next door. This is something that sets Machina apart from roaster next door - showcasing certain unique coffees that you may not see elsewhere.
