Good coffee beans are not everything, but without good coffee beans, everything is nothing. I'll be your guinea pig when it comes to trying out espresso machines, coffee & more.

What are you looking for?

Here at Coffeeness you'll only find real tests and reviews. I buy all products myself and am completely independent from manufacturers.
