About

Independent, tester-first espresso guides for home baristas. We pull shots, test gear, and tell you the truth — no sponsored rankings, ever.

Our story

Naked Pull started with a simple frustration: too much espresso advice online is written by people who don’t actually pull shots every day — or worse, by people paid to recommend whatever pays the highest commission.

We’re home baristas who obsess over extraction. We buy the grinders and machines we review, run them through real-world testing, and publish what we actually find — including the flaws.

How we pick gear

Every recommendation on Naked Pull follows the same process:

  • Hands-on testing. We use each grinder and machine for weeks, dialing in multiple coffees and testing consistency.
  • No pay-to-play. Brands can’t buy a recommendation. Affiliate relationships never influence rankings.
  • Real-world context. We test like home baristas — morning routines, small kitchens, real budgets.
  • Updated regularly. Gear changes, so do our picks. Every guide shows its last-updated date.

No sponsored rankings

Our rankings are never sold. When you click an affiliate link and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you — but that never decides what we recommend. Read our affiliate disclosure for the full details.
