Finca Los Alpes is a stunning example of Colombian coffee which goes as step beyond the norm, in terms of processing and resulting profile.   It's a coffee that has gone through carbonic maceration, a processing method taken from the wine industry and applied to a coffee process that intensifies the certain characteristics of the coffee through strictly controlled processing methods. *See more info below.
Expect a tropical tasting coffee that gives off rich notes of exotic fruits (Mango, Papaya and Star Fruit), intense body (thick crystallised Ginger) and rich phosphoric acidity (think Coca Cola). Los Alpes is a fine example of Colombian coffee farmed and processed extremely well with an intensity like few others.

Colombia-Finca Los Alpes

Machina was created by two people looking for their next creative challenge. One, an ex DJ and producer (and coffee nerd) from the music industry, the other, a long time coffee industry professional with a background in training (and an apparent obsession for show singing).

They met through a mutual friend, again through music (a common theme). From here Machina took on it's own momentum, which is an extraordinary story of people, coffee and lots of equipment (that's a lot of equipment...), on a path to becoming a respected speciality coffee roastery.

The business started off as just equipment, but was always working towards one goal - becoming a premium speciality coffee roastery. We just needed to raise funds, and ideally do it without needing to bring in investors who would (no doubt) push us in a direction that we didn't want to go in. We had a vision, and the only way to ensure that actually happened, was to do it ourselves.
