Small kitchens
Advice is sized for a normal worktop, not a dedicated brewing station.
Leaf and bean
Loose leaf is covered with the same care as coffee, not as an afterthought.
Numbers not adjectives
Doses, temperatures and ratios are written down so a result can be repeated.
Water accounted for
Hardness changes extraction more than most upgrades do, so it comes up early.

Frequently asked
How do I opt out?
Scroll to the bottom of any email and click unsubscribe. That is the whole process.
Will I start getting mail from other people?
It is not sold or shared. Sponsors pay to appear in the newsletter; they do not receive the list.
Can I see an example?
Reply to any email and we will happily send you a recent one.
Do you know if I read it?
Yes. Opens and clicks are logged, purely so we stop sending to people who no longer read it. The privacy page lists everything.
Is it free?
Free. The offers in it are how it pays for itself.
