Tim has been in the coffee industry since 2002, starting as a barista and then doing pretty much every job possible on the roasting side of the business. The last decade Tim has been focused on purchasing green coffee and setting up supply chains, particularly in East Africa. Tim Co-authored the book, A Reference Guide to Ethiopian Coffee Varieties, a book that shed great insight on one of the most complex coffee origins in the world. Tim came to Atlantic Specialty Coffee in 2018 and is our first remote employee working on the East Coast. Tim‘s role is part trader, part buyer, and part quality developer- focused on developing our East Coast presence and offerings.

Barista, trainer, green coffee buyer, shop owner, and founder are just a few of the titles Gabe has held in his 20ish years in specialty coffee. The art of roasting coffee is Gabe’s favorite form of expressing his creativity—it allows for some meditative, solo time with the process and gives him the freedom to create something delicious to share. Having his own coffee brand and roasting the highest quality coffee from importers, producers, and friends he knows and trusts has been a dream of Gabe’s for over 15 years. 

Every coffee we choose to place on our menu is meaningful to us through taste, story, connection, and relationship. We hope you can taste the intention in every cup and join us as we use Máquina to create good in the world.

In our first episode of Source Code Coffee Podcast, host Colin Frew talks to Metric's Co-Founder Xavier Alexander on what inspired the publishing of Source Code along with highlighting the importance of educating consumers on the importance of paying more for coffee and why transparency matters. 

Each week, Colin and Xavier will be inviting guests on to our program to discuss their own perspective of the coffee trade along with offering their view points on transparency in the supply chain, certifications, farm gate prices and  much more.
