Our Team
So, who is One Hundred Coffee?

As seen in our coverage
Our mission is to help readers make smarter coffee decisions
At One Hundred Coffee, we focus on content that helps readers understand what actually matters in coffee gear ownership and daily brewing. That includes usability, build quality, grinder performance, maintenance, milk frothing, brew flexibility, and overall value. Instead of repeating product marketing language, we organize information in a way that is easier to compare, easier to trust, and easier to use.
We cover coffee from multiple angles, including buying guides, product roundups, brewing advice, bean-focused articles, and educational content for people who want both practical recommendations and clearer explanations. Whether someone is buying a first drip machine, comparing espresso makers, or trying to understand the difference between burr grinders, roast levels, and brew methods, we want the site to be a dependable place to start.
To put it simply: we love coffee, and we want to help more people enjoy it with confidence.
