How it all started.

“It’s in the cup.”

This phrase has lead owner and founder Tal Fishman and his wife Stephanie halfway around the world and through most of the facets of the coffee industry. Beginning with servicing coffee roasters, followed by becoming a master roaster, and into the most recent chapter in which Espresso Smith Coffee Company was born.

Espresso Smith Coffee Company began with a passion for, not only maintaining espresso machines, but tuning them to the coffee. This lead to Tal modifying the equipment to brew a better shot at altitude, and from that the custom espresso machines were born.

Today Tal is a well known face in the coffee industry, and Espresso Smith Coffee Company is the premier service company for maintaining and servicing commercial espresso equipment for Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and western Nebraska. Though experts in lever, and traditional machines, it’s the super-automatic espresso machines that Tal has been focusing on as of late. This intimate knowledge of super-automatic espresso machines from all of the commercial manufacturers, drove Tal to create, and patent his own tools, which are now used by the manufacturers and service people alike to improve the ease and efficiency of routine service calls.

Understanding the different extraction methods of everything from lever, to traditional, to super-automatic espresso machines has now drawn Espresso Smith Coffee Company back to the bean. By roasting coffee, Espresso Smith Coffee Company can now not only tune your equipment to your coffee, but tune your coffee to your equipment. This addition allows Tal to complete the marriage of machine and coffee, and now offer you the full cup.

Whether you are looking for a service company to maintain your current equipment, a distributor that can help you identify the best espresso equipment for your business needs, or a full service coffee roaster that can offer you a complete coffee program, Espresso Smith Coffee Company has the experience and portfolio necessary to give you the option that best fits your scenario.

"Espresso Smith and Tal Fishman have tremendous knowledge of espresso equipment. Tal is a great source for feedback on how our equipment behaves in the field and how this can lead to improvements. The Espresso Smith team comes highly recommended"
