Matthew W.

Growing up studying music and art, I always found myself in the local coffee shop after rehearsals and performances. Working through music school I became more and more of a foodie, and as I worked through my comprehensive exams, thesis, and dissertation, a hot, caffeinated beverage was always by my side. At 25, I was the youngest Food & Beverage Director in the US, and every morning the first thing on my list was checking in with my baristas at the espresso bar.

After finishing my PhD, I moved to sunny Pensacola, Florida to perform and teach music and art. However, I’m someone that is always looking forward to the next adventure, and whether it’s through art, music, food & beverage, or even fishing, I’m always up for exploration, traveling, and experiencing new culture and ideas. I absolutely love meeting new people over a cup of espresso!

So, what do I need from you? Be honest with me about what you are looking for, your timeline, your budget, etc. I'm a coffee & espresso expert, not a sales guy! I know this market well, and will always keep your favorite beverage in mind, as well as your wallet! I'm always happy to find something cheaper, a different color, or put things on hold for a while if that's better for you! Just keep me in the loop!

Choose Matthew! You won’t be sorry.

I am not one to seek out an actual person or website to help me choose an item. I usually like to do my own research, and don’t want to be “bothered” with emails, messages, etc. but I am so glad I decided to try curated and received help from Matthew. He was very knowledgeable, patient, funny and kind. He gave great suggestions, answered my many many questions, and really helped me enjoy the process of purchasing my first espresso machine and grinder. He was patient while I continued my research after he gave his suggestions, got back to me quickly, wasn’t pushy to purchase anything and was just overall a funny, nice guy. It really was a surprisingly delightful experience. I’d choose Matthew as my coffee and espresso expert any day. He was phenomenal!

Matthew was a huge help!

Matthew helped me upgrade my current setup with a new grinder. His knowledge helped me make a decision on which product to go with based on my needs! I will definitely be using his services again to buy a new machine down the road. I would recommend reaching out to him with any questions that you have about making the best cup of coffee possible in your home!

Aimee's experience with Matthew

I’m not satisfied with the product. A return process within 30 days or under 150 brews was guaranteed allowed if I was not happy with the product. The return process is lagging despite my constant requests. I’ve lost trust in both companies for the false advertising regarding returns. This was a lot of money to invest and I would like it back.

I trust Matthew!

We have been in touch with Matthew for 3 weeks and as a former cafe owner and an espresso nerd, I must say that I’m impressed with his personality, knowledge, approach and follow up. He gives clear answers to my questions and you feel the trust on the air. Happy to meet him.

Matthew provided me excellent recommendations.

Well, Matthew was very patient with me because I had no idea what to buy. And price is definitely an important factor. The machine he suggested has a good sale price, And I had read reviews about it before, so with Matthew's help, I was able to make my decision to go with the Breville.

Matthew rocked!

I was very confused about what espresso machine to get. He helped me narrow it down. Although I haven’t purchased it yet, I’m pretty sure I know which machine I will be getting in the future. He is very knowledgeable.

Matthew was great!

Friendly and very responsive, even on the weekends. He has helped a complete newbie like me to be able to use what at first seemed like an overwhelming expensive machine(Ascaso Steel Uno).

Matthew is the best!

Matthew is obviously very knowledgeable, and gave me excellent recommendations. His ability to make a human connection, even through a chat box, goes a long way.
