About · the human behind the lab
Hi, I’m the one with a scale on the counter.
My story
From instant coffee to a tiny home lab.
I grew up on instant coffee and thought espresso was something only cafes could make. A secondhand machine and a lot of sink shots later, I learned that good coffee at home is mostly fresh beans, a good grinder and a scale.
Today my small kitchen corner has a machine, two grinders and far too many drippers. I test gear the way I use it: every morning, with real beans and real mistakes.
espressolab shares what I have learned: nine guides with seven picks each. I check every product against a live Amazon US listing, pick one version of each item and say who it is not for, too.
How espressolab works
Three lab rules.
Seven, not seventy
Each guide has seven different products, from budget to premium, so you can choose in minutes.
Live listings
Every pick is checked against a live Amazon US listing. Prices and stock come straight from Amazon.
No paid spots
Brands cannot pay to be included. Products are here because they work in a real kitchen.
