ABOUT THE TESTER
Men's Journal editor Stinson Carter has been testing and reviewing home espresso machines for the past five years. In that time, he's also interviewed coffee producers, espresso accessory makers, and some of the world’s best baristas. Using the Dual Boiler as his daily driver for a little over six weeks, he's gotten to know it very well, and to see how it performs over time with fairly heavy use.
