How we work

About Espresso Compass

Espresso Compass is an independent publication built to make home espresso equipment easier to compare.

Our research standard

We use primary manufacturer documentation for specifications, model details, and current list pricing whenever practical. We separate those facts from our editorial interpretation of who a machine may suit.

We do not invent hands on experience, test results, owner quotes, or performance claims. When a fact can change, such as price or stock status, we treat it as time sensitive.

How the site may earn money

Espresso Compass may use affiliate links in the future. If you buy through an eligible link, the site may earn a commission. Our Lelit affiliate enrollment is still pending, so the current build uses nonfunctional placeholders instead of fabricated tracking links.

Product specifications and reference pricing in this page set were checked against Lelit manufacturer materials during preparation. Prices and availability can change.
