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!

Perfect mix of expertise and friendliness
Matthew helped my husband and I to find an espresso machine and a coffee grinder. He was very knowledgeable and answered our questions very quickly.
He gave us multiple options for various budgets. Also, he did not simply recommend models but also told us details to justify his picks.
Highly recommended!

We couldn't have done it without Matthew!
My boyfriend and I wanted to get our friends the best coffee maker we could for their wedding gift, but there were so many options at all different price points it was overwhelming. Somehow I found Curated and luckily got connected with Matthew. Matthew was extremely patient with me and responded to all my questions quickly, and explained the differences clearly. We purchased what we believe to be the perfect machine with precisely what our friends need and love, thanks to Matthew. We appreciate how much time and energy he saved us and are grateful we had him to guide us throughout the process. Matthew went above and beyond, and we will refer him to our friends and family!

Mathew was persistent and had the right information for me. I trusted him and did a little more research that proved he was correct. I appreciate his persistence and am buying this thru this site vs. the immediate gratification I could have had with Williams Sonoma. Although not sure, if they had the right color.

Matthew was amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As someone who knows espresso but not espresso machines, Matthew helped me find the best products for my lifestyle, espresso knowledge, preferences, and budget! And he educated me on why he made the choices, and I left more knowledgeable than before. I hope you get to experience his wonderful customer service. Thank you again for your help.

I was pleasantly surprised to work with a real expert; I didn’t have to rely on AI-crafted review articles and bot-driven star ratings. I hadn’t heard of Curated before but, if you’re buying something significant - online - it’s the best way to go about it.

Answered all my questions and then some!
Matthew was incredibly helpful with the process of picking out a first home espresso machine. He answered all my questions, even the ones I didn’t know I had, and stuck with me through a bit of a drawn out decision making process.

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.
