FLTR Magazine launches The Home Barista Project

Most of the coffee world is built around professionals. Barista competitions. Equipment reviews. Interviews with roasters. Industry events. The conversation tends to stay within that circle.

But if you brew coffee at home, every day, with care and consistency, you will know there are fewer spaces built with you in mind. You can watch from the sidelines. You can buy the tools. But the advice you find is rarely shaped around the way you brew.

That is why I started The Home Barista Project.

It is a platform created for people who brew coffee at home and want to keep learning. People who enjoy the process. People who ask questions and look for honest answers. There is no gatekeeping. No performance. Just practical information and a sense of shared respect for the craft.

Why The Home Barista Project exists

Home brewers are some of the most thoughtful and committed people in coffee. They read. They test. They make adjustments. They learn through repetition. They care about taste and technique and routine.

Until now, most platforms have not spoken directly to that experience.

The Home Barista Project does. It is built around the everyday act of brewing coffee at home. It exists to support home brewers at every stage, from beginner to experienced. It offers tools that help you improve and articles that meet you where you are.

What you will find on the site

TheHomeBaristaProject.com is now live, with articles that focus on the kinds of questions home brewers ask most. Like:

• How to troubleshoot your brew when the taste is off
• How to choose a grinder that fits your brewing style
• How coffee grind size affects taste, texture, and brewing success
• Choosing the right coffee scale for home use
• What to consider before buying your first espresso machine
• The best pourover kettles for home brewers

Each article is clear, grounded, and written with purpose. No filler. No technical posturing. Just information you can use.

The Home Barista Show lives here now

The Home Barista Project is also the new home of The Home Barista Show.

From event updates to speaker previews and photo recaps, everything related to the show will be published here. If you attended the first event in Dubai, you will know how valuable it was to share a space with other home brewers. If you missed it, this is where to find out what is next.

The event gave shape to a growing community. This platform gives it a place to grow.

FLTR continues. This builds beside it.

FLTR Magazine will keep publishing longform writing on coffee culture, business, and identity. That work remains as important as ever.

The Home Barista Project expands the focus. It is built for a different kind of reader. Someone who brews every morning. Someone who enjoys learning by doing. Someone who wants to understand their tools and their coffee more clearly.

If that is you, this was built for you.

And it is just getting started.
