Kanen Coffee: Espresso Machines
Sam Kanenwisher, founder of Kanen Coffee, has always loved fixing things. After serving as an Electronics Technician in the Coast Guard, Sam earned degrees in Social Work and Divinity. Missing hands-on work, he repaired his first espresso machine and in 2011 Kanen Coffee was born. Today, we're a leader in Bay Area espresso machine service and sales

What Inspired You to Make This?
Our inspiration for bringing Kanen Coffee to the Maker Faire comes from a deep love for both fixing things and coffee. We believe in advancing the circular economy by repairing and modifying espresso machines, keeping them out of landfills, and helping people extend the life of their beloved machines. We want to make the daily coffee ritual even more joyful for others by sharing our passion and knowledge. We also see this as a chance to connect with other makers, learn how we can support their projects, and maybe even find a new team member who shares our enthusiasm for innovation and problem-solving!
