Welcome to Coffeecrew.com - Canada's original online resource for all things coffee and espresso, brewing methods, best practices, equipment reviews, consumer reports and more! Since the mid-90's we have proudly served the coffee lovers of the World and make it our quest to stay current and fresh!

Coffeecrew.com has hundreds of articles on all aspects of coffee - and we are constantly updating what we have as well as seeking out new equipment to play with. If you are a vendor with something new to bring to the table, let us know - we will gladly review it for free and give it a permanent home on this website. We review all brewers, machines, grinders and coffee gadgets of every stripe.

We are currently rebuilding and tweaking our most popular articles - including the Guide to buying great espresso, cappuccino and coffee machines - stay tuned!

Coffee! Drip Coffee. Press Coffee. Siphon Coffee. Espresso. Cappuccino. Latte. Magic words for over 1/2 the population of the planet Earth. For 500 years, this hot beverage has been the most popular method of caffeine consumption.

Coffee - After all, it's the second most popular item of trade (next to oil). It employs millions of families, some in less than ideal working and living conditions. Help change their lives by buying better coffee through direct trade, fair trade and cup of excellence programs! Be educated and caffeinated!

History - In 1996 Colin Newell of Victoria B.C. Canada created the "Coffee Experts Group" website - bad name, so it quickly evolved into the coffeecrew website to educate and inform; to help you, the readers, have a better specialty coffee experience at home or in the office.

We average around 80,000 regular readers a month and get lots of e-mail. And every e-mail counts!

Have a question? Send us an e-mail. We answer every question no matter how simple or challenging within 24-48 hours guaranteed!

About this website - Coffeecrew.com is a non-commercial resource - this means we make commercial recommendations but we do NOT sell anything. We have been testing and playing with virtually every coffee maker and espresso machine and grinder since the mid-90's! Want us to test and review something? Let us know via the e-mail tab. Reviews on coffeecrew.com are permanent. How is that for great marketing?

Photo right - But we do review all forms of coffee brewing! Yes, we do. Coffeecrew.com is a repository for brewing methods, trends and events in Coffee world.

Introducing you to new and classic methods of brewing coffee, espresso and other specialty coffee beverages and, at the same time, raising your level of awareness on how this marvelous bean makes its way from the farmers field to your cup. It's what we do!

This website is an educational resource for consumers of specialty coffee.

In between all the tutorials and gear reviews, we try to get in one important message: That cup of coffee you are about to enjoy had a long journey from the farmers fields to your cup.

Thanks to the advent of the internet, coffee can now have a more meaningful journey to your cafe or home - and benefit the farms and coops even more - cutting out the middle man. Learn while you are here - and have fun!

Banners - Links - Link exchanges: Coffeecrew.com has been on the air a long, long time (late 1994 - early 1995) and as a result we have a very high search engine position as a product of this incredible longevity. We do not do free link exchanges - requests will be ignored. Sorry.

We have been running banners and paid links for a long time - and in better economic times we proudly hosted around 8 large equipment vendors. Advertising opportunities always exist on the coffeecrew website OR we will happily trade ad space for equipment that you are selling (that we can test and review!)

See you in Portland! We are attending the 24th Annual SCAA Event in Portland Oregon this year as journalists for the coffeecrew.com website. See you there!

Send us a note if you are interested in sponsoring, advertising on or getting some of your products reviewed on Coffeecrew.com.

Sponsors! We have a few suggested vendors (who have a time honored track record of customer support) who have given us, pretty much, open access to their inventory. If you are wondering, this is a not-for-profit consumer resource for coffee drinkers. We take in just enough ad revenue to just barely cover hosting expenses so, no - and we do not sell anything. Site sponsors include Baratza U.S.A. - in our opinion one of the best coffee grinder designers and vendors on the Planet!
