Portafilter has provided the web’s best coffee-related information since 2005. It’s your new home of all things Coffee, from the latest equipment reviews to how to pull the perfect espresso shot, we have you covered. THE IDEA Portafilter started with one simple goal. We wanted to make the world of brewing delicious coffee easy to understand and empower everyday people with the ability to become a better home barista, and the knowledge to find and select the best coffee gear for their needs. THE BEGINNING About Portafilter It all began in 2005… … And the world of coffee was a different place back then! Portafilter began life 15 years ago as a podcast and blog run by coffee professionals and enthusiasts. When the decision was made to start this blog, we had no idea that the world of coffee would expand in the way that it has over the past decade. Home baristas are more knowledgeable and passionate than ever before, and the range of coffee-making techniques and gear available on the market today is exciting but can also be overwhelming. OUR MISSION With this newfound interest in coffee, it’s more important now than ever that we can get the right advice without all the nonsense. That’s why from the very beginning Portafilter has been all about making sure people have the knowledge they need to make research-backed and informed decisions. Things have changed a bit since the beginning. From what started as a simple hobby project, the site has grown, all thanks to our readers’ support.
