☕ CoffeeLabAdvisor · The Advisor
Type a brand, a model number, a bag of coffee or a drink. We tell you what it is, who it suits — and, honestly, whether we have evaluated it, only verified its specification, or can merely identify it.
Brewing gear
A brewing method or brew-bar category we cover; we hold 9 verified listings of this kind.
653 things recognised · 114 independently evaluated · 13 with a verified specification · every answer says which.
Equipment named on our city award pages — the machines and roasters behind the winners. We identify them; we hold no specification and have not evaluated them.
Most sites make every product sound intimately known. We would rather tell you which of these four things is true — the same rule the CoffeeLab Awards are decided under.
We evaluated it under our published methodology: a review, a profile, a brand hub, a pairing page or an award. The Advisor sends you to that page and adds what it is best suited for.
We read and dated the maker's (or the listing's) specification. We say what it is and who it may suit — each line derived by a written rule from a field on that specification — and we say plainly that we have not evaluated it.
We can identify it and say where it appears on our site — a listing on a guide, a roaster's bag on our roster, a machine named on an award page. Nothing more.
We have not evaluated it and it is not something we can identify. We say so, show the nearest things we do cover, and put it on the list of what we write next.
