ABOUT

Hi my name is Darren, I am a self employed Coffee Machine Engineer with 28 years experience. I have worked for well known companies like Tchibo Coffee and Refreshment Systems & most recently Brew-It-Group. Now its time to go solo and look after the equipment I know best, barista machines and all types of coffee grinders. My experience in this field combined with the 18th Edition City & Guilds accreditation in electrical engineering ensures that every machine I service operates at peak performance. I have a deep understanding of electronics and a passion for problem solving which makes me a go to expert in this field. To add to this there is my passion for coffee. Coffee isn’t just a drink, it’s a part of someones daily routine. Coffee brings people together, its the heart beat of mornings. This is why the espresso machine should be at its best.
