Welcome to Fluent In Coffee!
Sit down, have a cup of coffee.
Why We Started Fluent In Coffee
Coffee is a beverage that many people enjoy drinking, but very few people know how to make it well. We noticed this, and decided to do something about it.
We started Fluent In Coffee because we wanted to share our love for coffee with coffee drinkers around the world.
You see, here at Fluent In Coffee, we believe that everyone deserves to start each day with a good cup of joe. So we’re determined to help as many people as possible attain that perfect cup from the comfort of their own homes.
We do that by blogging about all the topics you need to know about to make a good cup of coffee at home. From guides and how-tos, to reviews on all the latest gear and gadgets, you can find everything you need here at Fluent In Coffee.

How We Write Our Reviews
While we try to get our hands on as many of the products we review as possible, unfortunately, we can’t try them all out firsthand. We do, however, manage to try out quite a few.
For the ones we can’t get a hold of, we make sure to research them thoroughly.
And I mean thoroughly.
We spend many hours reading through user reviews, watching YouTube videos, and reading into the details of each product to get a better understanding of where each product excels, and what its limitations are.
That way, we can choose only the products we feel are best suited to our audience.
Basically, we do what you’d do if you were searching for something to buy – just in a lot more detail.
By doing this for you, we cut the time it takes you to find exactly what you’re looking for.
How Fluent In Coffee Earns Money
Fluent In Coffee stays afloat thanks to you guys, our readers.
Whenever you click on a link on our website, and purchase a product that we’ve reviewed, we receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you – the price stays the same).
This helps us keep the lights on and fuels our caffeine addiction. It also allows us to buy and test even more coffee gear and report our findings back to you.
