Don’t Ask One Barista. Ask 5,000.
Tired of single, biased reviews? We are too. That’s why our advice isn’t one person’s opinion. It’s the collective wisdom of the UK’s most passionate home barista community.
Ask A Barista is where over 5,000 coffee lovers share their real-world experience. We survey them, we poll them and we consolidate their knowledge into the most honest, practical reviews and guides you’ll ever read.
Powered by a Real Community
Our foundation isn’t a lab, it’s the kitchens of our members. This is what makes our recommendations different – and better.
Unbiased Consensus: The final verdict is never one person’s voice. It’s a community consensus, giving you a balanced view you simply can’t find anywhere else.
5,000+ Active Members: Our community is a flourishing hub of daily users, from beginners to seasoned pros, sharing what truly works.
Real-World Experience: Our data comes from long-term, daily use. We track which machines last, which are a pain to clean, and which pull a consistently great shot, year after year.
Crowdsourced Data: Every “Best Of” list is born from extensive polls and surveys of our members. We ask them to rate their machines on reliability, value for money and overall satisfaction.
