    SHIPPING OF MACHINES

    Shipping method:

    Machines are shipped with either DHL or Palletline, depending on the machine you choose.  The choice is based on weight and dimensions, as some ship better with one than the other.

      Third party services:

      We use third parties for shipping, so delivery times are estimates and can sometimes take longer. We cannot contractually commit to any secure delivery times, as delays occur out with our control.

      We offer worldwide shipping across the following zones & services:

      - UK: Royal Mail 48 (0-2KG), Parcelforce 48 (2-30KG), DHL Next Day (2-70KG - Premium / Variable Rate) and Pallet Line (>125KG).

      INSURANCE

      All items shipped with Parcelforce, DHL or Palletways are fully insured without limit.  Royal Mail parcels do not include insurance, so we only ship low value items on this service.  If you have your order shipped with Royal Mail, we take responsibility for you recieving your item.  e.g. If you coffee subscription gets lost, we will replace it or refund you accordingly.

      The Coffee

      The Coffee

      Full of rich chocolate flavour (think somewhere between milk and dark) and sweet juicy sultana notes which are all carried on a silky smooth almond body. The acidity is present but takes a more complimentary role, bringing through and amplifying the juiciness.

      Its a classic easy drinking Guatemalan, but definitely not boring. It's got loads going on for being a more accessible coffee. Plenty of depth, sweetness and delicate acidity that you can experiment with when brewing.

      This espresso roast will taste excellent through any home or commercial machine, and will serve just as well black as it does with milk.

      The Producers

      The Producers

      Sourced from our green coffee supplier Primavera, the Primavera Family lot was created from 10-15 producers in the Huehuetenango region. The quality of these lots were better suited to a balanced regional blend than to offer as single microlots, and sometimes the lots themselves are too small to stand alone as microlots.

      The coffee was purchased to offer a wider range of quality, and producers can sell more of their coffee for a better price, enabling them to invest in their farms and wet mills.

      Primavera are constantly working with their producers to help them improve the quality and productivity of their farms. Hoping that in the future they might be able to sell more of these lots as single farm coffees.

      For this particular lot, they purchased and blended coffees of 84 and 85 points to create a regional blend with the classic, balanced Huehue profile.

      This regional lot is unique, and each lot of Primavera Family blend has full transparency and is traceable to the farm level.

      • Wholesale

        We are always looking to work with likeminded businesses to serve our coffee.

        If you're interested in serving this locally roasted Edinburgh coffee as your main offering, a guest appearance or as bags of retail, get in touch with us on  roastery@machina-coffee.co.uk or call (0131) 656 9565.

      • Roasting Schedule

        Your coffee will be roasted within 1-16 days of purchase, with a shelf life of 6 weeks (optimum serving point at 12-36 days old). We recommend letting this coffee rest for at least 12 days before using, in order to release excess gas which can impact the flavour of your cup.

        If you would like your coffee fresh, please leave a note with your order and we will do our best to accommodate.
