About
I have worked in cafés for eight years, and since 2024 I have owned and run a third-wave café with Mara Ellison. Running it shapes how I judge equipment and the practical work a buying guide needs to explain.
My editing work asks what would have to be true for a recommendation to be wrong. A buying page should carry its reasoning: what was compared, which criteria mattered and who the product will not suit.
I also write the guides to packaged and convenience coffee. I buy one can or a small jar before a multipack, and on a bottle I read the serving count before the front label. My preparation experience also includes plain instant coffee and homemade bottled iced coffee. Any commercial relationship with a brand I write about is disclosed on the page.
