about machina coffee roasters

single origin filter is where machina tends to show what it's actually doing. roasters who take sourcing seriously usually let the filter program do the talking, and if that's the direction you want to go, this is the place to start. the address out at peffermill park puts it a little off the tourist circuit, which suits the kind of focused operation this appears to be. you're not stumbling in between castle visits. people who find it tend to come back, and the consistency of that loyalty says something about what machina has built over time. worth knowing before you go: this is a roastery first, so the buying experience and the coffee itself sit at the centre of everything. pick up a bag of whatever's currently on the filter bar.
