Who is the austin Coffee Technician?
Howdy y’all,
I’m Carlos Bennett — owner of Austin Coffee Technician.
I specialize in home espresso machines, and I take them seriously.
For nearly a decade, I’ve been obsessed with how these machines are built, why they fail, and what separates a quick fix from a proper repair. I’ve logged well over 10,000 hours at the bench. That’s real time, real machines, real experience.
I’ve had just about every make and model opened up in front of me. On the outside they all brew coffee. Inside, they tell a different story. I know where they’re strong, where they’re weak, and what it takes to make them right.
When I put my hands on a machine, it leaves better than it came in. I stand behind my work. Every repair carries my warranty — and my name.
If you care about your espresso machine, you’re in the right place.
