This coffee is from the Mahango region in Uganda. It is a single origin coffee with a natural processing method. The roast is specifically styled for espresso, offering rich and juicy characteristics with chocolatey and fruity flavor notes.
Machina was established in Edinburgh in 2013 by Steve Glencross, who spent two decades in the music industry as a DJ and A&R executive before pivoting to coffee. He co founded the roastery with Michael, a long time coffee professional. They roast on a traditional Probat drum roaster at their facility in Peffermill, focusing on quality over volume. The café on Marchmont Road, opposite The Meadows, seats around 50 guests. Machina also offers a white label roasting service for hospitality businesses and runs a wholesale delivery and tub collection scheme to reduce single use packaging.
