About CoffeeHow.co

CoffeeHow.co was created to help people brew better coffee with clarity, confidence, and real understanding.

Founded by professional barista and coffee educator Sasha Pavlovich, CoffeeHow combines hands-on café experience with structured testing, research, and practical brewing guidance.

Based in Rome, Italy, CoffeeHow operates at the intersection of traditional espresso culture and modern specialty coffee. This provides hands-on access to Italian and European espresso equipment while maintaining a strong focus on products available to readers in the United States.

Many of the machines, grinders, and coffee brands reviewed on CoffeeHow are widely available in the U.S. market. Our goal is to evaluate equipment and coffee in a way that is relevant to American home users, balancing European espresso standards with practical considerations such as pricing, availability, voltage compatibility, and distribution in the U.S.

Our Mission

CoffeeHow exists to make coffee education practical and approachable.

We believe that great coffee is not about hype. It is about understanding the variables that shape the cup and learning how to work with them more intentionally.

  • Grind size
  • Extraction variables
  • Roast levels
  • Brew ratios
  • Water quality
  • Equipment behavior
  • Sensory balance

Our goal is to help readers move beyond guesswork and brew with intention. Whether you are making espresso at home or dialing in a V60, we aim to give you the tools and knowledge to improve.

What Coffee Means to Us

Coffee is more than a daily habit.

  • A craft built on precision
  • A sensory experience
  • A ritual of focus and reflection
  • A connection between origin, roast, and preparation

For many people, coffee is the first quiet moment of the day, a pause before the world accelerates. That experience deserves attention to detail.
