Alvin’s many tricks (but requires payment in treats)

Will K

Hey there! I'm Will, a big 'ol coffee nerd. My coffee journey started a bit later than most, using it only as a means to study later, but about 10 years ago I started down the rabbit hole of espresso and coffee and only continue to dig deeper. I am a Mechanical Engineer by training so I love to get into the nitty gritty on espresso machine and grinder mechanics, extraction methods and roasting characteristics (but still enjoy a cup of airplane coffee). My most recent project is building a coffee roaster in my garage. Hopefully the Frankesteinian monster will be up and running soon!

Great Support

I don't know much about espresso machines and really appreciated that Will recommended machines that were actually less expensive and more user-friendly than I originally considered. He was patient as I waited to order until closer to my move date. I can't wait to receive my items!

Ryan's experience with Will

Will was wonderful to work with. I have been kicking around the idea of a home barista set up for months and really didn't know where to start. Will brought great insights and got me thinking about things I had not thought of before. Example- How important it is to have the right coffee grinder. I would highly recommend Will to anyone looking to getting into coffee. He is a great listener and did not pressure me into making a decision. 5/5 !

Will was amazingly helpful!!!

He worked with us for almost 2 hours trying to find the right espresso maker for a gift. He saved the day, as my children ordered one from Italy and found out today it was not shipped becaude it is made for a 220 outlet. My son is in town only got a few days from Europe and it might not arrive before christmas, but it should be here before he leaves again! Thank you Will. from Dee, Julia and Peter! Greg (dad) is going to love it! Happy Holidays!!!

Dave's experience with Will

I learned more about espresso and how to make it than I did about the machines that make them. I cannot wait to get my new machine and accessories to experiment with it and learn more about espresso.
