Hi! I’m Michael.

Welcome to BestCoffeeBlog.com! I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a retired military guy with 22 years of service under my belt—and a strong cup of coffee has been my daily constant through deployments, PCS moves, late nights, and early mornings. Coffee wasn’t just a habit for me… it was survival. Over the years, it became something more: a ritual, a passion, and eventually, a bit of an obsession.

When I wasn’t chasing down deadlines or wrangling gear, I was hunting for the best beans, testing brewing methods in hotel rooms, and trying out every coffee gadget I could get my hands on. After decades of traveling and living out of duffels, I’ve learned a thing or two about making great coffee with minimal equipment—and a few tricks worth sharing.

Now, as a full-time blogger and proud dad of five, I finally have the time (and a stable kitchen) to share what I’ve picked up along the way. This blog is where I break down everything I’ve learned—from gear reviews and brewing tutorials to coffee culture and bean picks—with no fluff and no pretentious coffee snobbery.

Whether you’re a new home brewer or a lifelong sipper looking to up your game, my goal is simple: help you make better coffee, one mug at a time.
