Our team
baristafix is written and reviewed by people who actually work on these machines. Every guide carries a byline, and the name on it is accountable for what it says.
Marco spent twelve years servicing espresso machines — first behind the bench at a specialty café group, then running his own repair workshop. He has stripped down, fixed and reassembled everything from a battered Gaggia Classic to high-end Swiss automatics. He writes the fixes here only after reproducing the fault on a real machine, and he'll always tell you when a repair isn't worth the money.
Our standards
How we research, test and review everything we publish is set out in our testing methodology and editorial policy. If you'd like to contribute or you're a technician interested in reviewing guides, get in touch via our contact page.
