OUR TESTERS
Every product featured in this round-up was independently selected, tested, and evaluated by our editorial team. Recommendations are based solely on our hands-on experience, rigorous testing, and performance standards.

Stinson Carter: I got a head start in my love for serious espresso just by growing up in Seattle. Since then, espresso has become a serious daily ritual, and a world to explore as a journalist. In my pursuit of coffee knowledge, I have interviewed global coffee gurus, baristas, pro coffee gear makers, and bean roasters and producers. On my own, I have tested dozens of machines, and countless coffee tools and beans from a range of roasters and regions.

Tercius Bufete: My family obsesses about coffee. It doesn’t matter if it’s espresso, cold brew, or pour-over, my brothers talk about our shots and experiments regarding coffee daily. I’ve been lucky enough to have owned and tested dozens of espresso machines over the course of five years. I’ve used everything from manual, lever-style tools to prosumer-grade units.
