I'm Jake, and I've spent over 6 years in the speciality coffee industry. Starting as a barista, I worked my way into roasting and buying green coffee before landing on the work I do now: keeping cafes' equipment running.
I'm a certified coffee technician across the major equipment brands, and I currently serve dozens of cafes across Northwest Arkansas, Southwest Missouri, and East Oklahoma.
"It's a gnarly pleasure to serve my coffee neighbors and keep their machines running properly"
- Jacob Bristoll, Cold Spell Coffee
Before I was a technician, I was a barista, then a roaster, then a green coffee buyer. That path means I don't just fix machines, I understand how a cafe actually runs on them. During my visit, I will diagnose and fix your issue, typically clearing clogs, running electrical checks, and replacing the parts of your equipment that need to be replaced.
I'm big on education. Every install comes with barista training, so your team knows how to use and care for the equipment from day one. And when I'm repairing your machine, I will walk you through the whole process so you understand the issue thoroughly.
I work with the majority of my cafe clients on a regular basis, with regularly scheduled maintenance visits to ensure we stay on top of their machines and fix any issues before they grow into bigger ones. If you are looking for any help on your coffee equipment, I would love to help you out!
