About The Drip News

The Drip News is an independent publication about coffee. We cover the news of the specialty coffee industry, the craft of brewing at home, the gear that matters, and the culture that ties it all together.

What we do

We publish three kinds of stories. First, news and analysis about what is happening in the world of specialty coffee, from green market trends to the cafes shaping their cities. Second, practical brewing guides written for people who want to make better coffee at home, whether they are starting with a French press or refining their pour-over technique. Third, equipment reviews and buying guides that cut through marketing noise to help readers spend their money well.

Who this is for

Anyone who has stopped accepting bad coffee. You do not need to be a barista, a roaster, or a competition judge. You just need to care about the cup in your hand and want to understand it a little better than you did yesterday.

What we do not do

We do not run sponsored content disguised as editorial. When a piece of equipment is reviewed because we received a sample, that relationship is disclosed. When affiliate links are used, that fact is stated at the bottom of the article. The goal is information you can trust to be honest, even when honesty is less profitable than the alternative.
