Coffee & Espresso Expert Zach T.
  • Zach T.

    Hey there! My name's Zach, and I'm a coffee and espresso expert here at Curated. I've been brewing specialty coffee at home for a few years now, and love nothing more than to nerd out on coffee gear! When brewing at home, I tend to prefer pourovers and espresso - my setup includes a Gaggia Classic Pro, Niche Zero, Fellow Ode, Comandante, and a handful of pourover drippers. Some of my favorite roasters from around the world are Square Mile (London, UK), The Barn (Berlin, Germany), Sweet Bloom (Denver, CO), and Crema (Nashville, TN).

    I am happy to walk you through any gear you might need to start slinging some cafe-quality espresso at home!

    The best experience possible!
    I was set up with my Curator, Zach. From day 1, he surpassed all expectations. He was responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and wonderfully friendly. He quickly spun my shopping adventure from a daunting task to an extremely enjoyable experience! My machine will be delivered today, and I’m so excited!

    Zach was so helpful!
    I was pretty lost about which machine to buy as this is a new hobby I want to get into. I plan on purchasing an expresso machine as my first big “non necessity” purchase. He was super fast in responding and helped me narrow down my options while being very genuine. He answered a lot of questions for me! Would definitely recommend him to assist others and I can’t wait to make my purchase once I graduate!

    Zach was great!
    Zach was extremely friendly and asked all the right questions to help him understand what I really wanted and needed before offering any recommendations. He provided videos to help me better understand the products we were considering and was mindful of my budget. Zach was delightful to work with - it was a good match!

    Victor's experience with Zach
    I am a neophyte when it comes to making coffee but anything but in consuming it. I had grown tired of poorly made espresso drinks when out. I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands and investigate purchasing a machine of my own and learning to create the quality of coffee that I had yearned for. The problem was I did not anything about the equipment and so I sought expert advice.As soon as I got into the pros and cons of various models with him. I know I was in expert hands with Zach. I liked that he began by inquiring about my preferences, my coffee habits, my budget - demonstrating a true client orientation. While I could have afforded to spend more, he astutely steered me to a modestly priced machine that was the best value proposition. He even agreed to tutor me on how to make espressos when the machine arrives. A delightful young man is Zach with deep subject matter expertise and in possession of a most congenial manner.

    Zach found the perfect expresso machine to meet my needs. He was thoughtful and knowledgeable about the topic and answered all of my questions. (He even knew of my favorite local coffee shop and helped me find the machine that would help me replicate the exact expresso drink I like at home.) Highly recommend!

    Great expert who spent a lot of time with me!
    This was my first experience with Curated, and based on how great Zach was, I'm definitely going to use Curated again. Zach took the time to learn what my needs were and recommended a scale and a bean holder that are exactly what I was looking for. He is very knowledgeable and is really good about helping his clients stay in their price range. Thanks Zach!

    Expert, efficient advice for the busy connoisseur
    Zach identified 2 options for me, giving me enough of a choice but not an overwhelming amount. He thought about utility and design and clearly has the pulse on the latest coffee trends in addition to extensive knowledge about quality in the coffee and accessories market. Excited about my experience with Zach and curated, will be back soon!

    Zach really must be one of the most knowledgeable experts in any domain on this app. He’s also so friendly. He was able to work within the parameters I gave him to pick something perfect for my needs and my design aesthetic. This time was my first using Curated, but because of Zach, it won’t be my last!
