About

Hi, I’m Hunter.

Coffee Talk is where I slow down and talk about coffee and the gear that goes with it. No studio and no perfect lighting, just my coffee bar, real mornings, and honest takes.

By day I’m a communications director and a video editor. For the better part of a decade I’ve led communications and media for growing teams: editing video, designing graphics and running live production. I’ve also shot and edited 40+ wedding films and edit tech reviews for a 50K-subscriber channel, which is how I ended up filming B-roll of the Terra Kaffe Demi long before I owned one.

Coffee started as the thing that got me through 6:30 a.m. with a little one awake before me. Then it turned into a hobby: I went from a $10 grinder to dialing in single origins, and I’m still mostly a dark-roast guy who keeps getting talked into light roasts.

House rules

  1. Real use, every time

    Every review comes from living with it: weekday mornings, not a quick unboxing.

  2. Always disclosed

    If a brand sent it, I say so. Affiliate links are marked.

  3. Nobody buys the verdict

    Nobody pays for my opinion. A brand might fact-check the details, but the take is always mine.
