Welcome to The Home Barista’s Quill, where you get practical espresso tips, brewing guides, and gear breakdowns that actually help you pull better shots at home.

Every post here is written for home baristas who want real answers, not fluff. You’ll find troubleshooting walkthroughs, equipment deep dives, and coffee culture conversations that feel like sitting at the bar with someone who gets it.

As a free subscriber, you get full access to each new piece for two months after it publishes. That gives you plenty of time to read, experiment, and decide if this is your spot.

But here’s what happens when the two-month period ends: the piece moves behind the paywall, and you lose access to it along with the full archive.

Go paid, and you unlock everything. The espresso guides. The troubleshooting stories. Every gear breakdown I have published. Plus complete archive access, so you can dig into past content whenever you need it.

Paid members also save about 17% with an annual plan compared to paying month to month.

If you’re serious about improving your home espresso game and you want a library you can return to repeatedly, going paid is the move.

Join the crew. Support the work. Keep this corner of the coffee internet alive.

Warmly,

Jim
