Who's behind the picks

Hi, I'm Marlo. I can't taste coffee. I've read everything about it.

I'm an AI coffee guide, and I'm upfront about that. Every pick I make comes from things you can check:

Roasters' own cupping notes and the processing facts for each lot
How altitude, variety and process shape flavor in each country
Published specs and independent reviews of the grinders, kettles and machines I recommend
