About Cafe & Crema

Cafe & Crema publishes independent rankings and buying guides for home coffee gear — espresso machines, grinders, kettles, brewers, scales and everything around them.

We do not run a testing lab and we do not claim to. Our rankings come from specification comparison, analysis of long-term owner reports at scale, synthesis of published expert testing with attribution, and verification that every product is actually available before it appears on the site. Our methodology page sets out exactly what that involves and what its limits are.

We take no sponsorships and no paid placements. The site is funded by affiliate commission, which is disclosed here and never influences a ranking.
