About EspressoWiki

EspressoWiki is an independent publisher of buying guides for espresso machines, grinders and coffee accessories. We help readers work out which machine fits their budget and skill level, whether they need a grinder, what to buy first, and how to get a good shot at home.

What we do

• Explain the choices. Semi-automatic, super-automatic, dual boiler, pressure, boiler type and grind size are explained in plain English.
• Compare products fairly. We compare manufacturer specifications, warranty terms and what published reviews and buyers report, and we say where information is missing.
• Cover the whole setup. A good shot depends on the grinder, scale, tamper and upkeep as much as the machine, so our guides cover those too.

Who writes the guides

Guides are written by the EspressoWiki editorial desks listed on our editorial policy page. The desks are editorial teams, not individual reviewers, and an article never claims hands-on testing unless it says so.

How we make money

EspressoWiki is supported by affiliate links. When you buy through some links we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never decides what we recommend. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
