Who We Are
Hey, coffee lovers! I’m Da Barista, the soul behind CoffeeMachineDe. With over a decade as a barista in top coffee hubs like Seattle and Portland, I’ve earned Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) certifications in brewing and sensory skills, and placed in the top 10 at regional barista championships. From my first home espresso machine to mastering pro-grade setups, my coffee obsession fuels this site. At CoffeeMachineDe, I share honest reviews of machines I’ve tested, brewing hacks from years behind the bar, and insights from my connections with roasters and manufacturers.
