I spent seven years working as a barista before I started BrewingCoffees in 2022. I still do most of the equipment writing here, which in practice means descaling machines, timing shots, and working out whether a more expensive grinder actually changes what ends up in the cup. I drink about five americanos a day and I live in Austin, Texas.

I came to coffee from the home side rather than the trade. Everything I write about here gets made in an ordinary kitchen using equipment most people can actually afford, which is usually where advice from professionals starts to fall apart. Cappuccino is what I make most mornings. I also have two kids, so I have firm opinions about how long a drink should take to make.

I grew up spending long stretches in Milan and started drinking espresso a good deal earlier than I should have. That is where most of my writing comes from: the Italian conventions around espresso, ristretto and lungo, and how much of that survives the trip to an American cafe. I am the person on this team most likely to tell you your shot is running too long.
When I’m not nerding out about coffee, you can find me playing music (I’m a drummer), biking around town, or watching the latest TV series on Netflix.
