How the sheets are made
Qui spieghiamo da dove vengono i dati, dove finisce il lavoro dell'automazione e dove comincia quello di una persona.
CoffeeSpecs lo fa un gruppo di amici appassionati di caffè. Le schede sono verificate una per una sul sito del produttore, e ogni dato porta la sua fonte e la sua data. Se ne trovi uno sbagliato, segnalacelo.
The data comes from the source, not from us
Technical specifications are extracted from the manufacturer's official website with deterministic, versioned tools, and show the recording date. We don't rewrite from memory: we read the source. If a value can't be verified, it stays empty — a missing field is better than a made-up number.
AI is a second reader, not the author
Artificial intelligence helps us flag anomalies in the data and frame a machine's market positioning. It doesn't write the sheets and doesn't decide what to publish: every suggestion is validated by a person before going online. It's an extra check, not a shortcut.
Every sheet says who made it
Spec sheets, comparisons and articles carry the CoffeeSpecs byline and the date of the last check. The bio next to the byline says how we work, not how good we are: we are a group, and anyone who joins with a role of their own will appear under their own name.
Data and opinions stay separate
A technical value always has a source. An editorial judgment — strengths, caveats, who a machine suits — is stated as such. We avoid brochure adjectives ("revolutionary", "best-in-class"): if something is good, you can see it from the numbers and the context.
Tiers are based on the real cost
The use tier (from F1 entry to F5 industrial) doesn't look at the bait price of the "machine body only", but the cost to actually put it to work: base plus essential accessories. A cheap but incomplete out-of-the-box machine doesn't move up a tier just because it costs little.
Prices have a date
The prices shown are list prices, with the recording date, and are reviewed at least every three months. When something relevant changes — a market withdrawal, a silent spec change, a safety issue — we flag it directly in the sheet.
How we sustain ourselves
Affiliate links keep CoffeeSpecs running: if you buy through here, a small share comes back to the site and covers its costs, at no extra cost to you. No commission buys a verdict.
