Source Code Episode 02-Gabe Boscana
In episode two, Source Code host Colin Frew and Xavier Alexander interview Gabriel Boscana- Owner of Maquina Coffee from West Chester, PA. With over 20 years in the Specialty Coffee industry, Gabe has held every job imaginable in the coffee industry: Barista, Educator, Green Buyer and now founder of Maquina- Gabe walks us through their 20 + years in the coffee industry working for the likes of Gimmie Coffee, Intelligentsia, Sightglass and how, over the years his approach to working with small coffee producers and importers to develop a meaningful, transparent and quality driven company- this time on his own terms and without any compromises.
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.
