I have followed the European motorcycle custom scene intensively over the last 20 years. And I know Axel for almost that long. To this day, he is one of the best, most pedantic, stylish and consistent customizers I have ever met.

His label Kaffemaschine Motorcycles (KMMC) stands for extremely high-quality, classic, Moto Guzzi-based builds, optimized down to the last detail. The Italian brand belongs to his heart, and his incredible knowledge results in real-world riding machines that make a good figure on the race track, but can also be ridden in a suit, to the opera… My photos from his Hamburg workshop speak for themselves.
