About Espresso North

Industrial café counter with baristas and chalkboard menus — A working café counter — the kind of room this advice is meant for.

Espresso North is an independent Canadian site about home espresso. Most espresso buying advice online is written for US shoppers. We focus on what Canadians can buy, what it really costs here, and how to get great coffee at home.

[JESSE: add a short, true bio here, e.g. owner of Boxcar Coffee in Edmonton, years behind the bar. Only include what's accurate. A real byline with café experience is this site's biggest advantage.]

How we choose products

We start from manufacturer specifications and link them.
We say plainly when we haven't tested something hands-on.
Affiliate commissions never decide our picks. If a product is better at a store that pays us nothing, we'll say so.
