Welcome to The Coffee Lab! I'm Erin, an ex-barista and now a professional coffee gear tester (yes, it's a real job!). I was a barista for three-and-a-half years and now have two years of testing experience under my belt. Although an oat milk flat white had been my go-to order for years, I'm more often an AeroPress or Americano drinker these days.

I know the world of coffee can be, dare I say, exclusive, so I'm on a mission to take the headache out of your daily brew. If you're a beginner, forget about WDT tools and flow rates and all that nonsense. You only need to focus on what's important: taste.
