Jason Michael

Jason has been obsessed with coffee since his first flat white in Melbourne a decade ago. Since then, he has tracked down espresso bars in over 30 countries—from the specialty scene in Tokyo to traditional cafés in Vienna. Based in Seattle, he spends his mornings testing brewing gear and his weekends exploring the Pacific Northwest coffee community. He writes about what works, what doesn't, and how to make better coffee at home without overcomplicating it.
