Celebrate International Coffee Day with Tom's Guide Live Q&A Featuring an Ex-Barista

Join Our Exclusive International Coffee Day Live Q&A

When will the obsession with hot bean juice end? Well, we certainly hope it doesn't. There's little we love more than making a phenomenal cup of coffee — something our years as professional baristas can firmly attest to. If there were an extra day in the week, we would undoubtedly want to spend it behind the bar in a bustling independent cafe.

Now, as Tom's Guide's in-house coffee experts, we have tested over 50 coffee makers, experimented with all the quirky brewing hacks, and consumed enough cups of coffee to give even an elephant the caffeine shakes. Naturally, we are thrilled to share all that accumulated knowledge with you, our readers and loyal members, in celebration of International Coffee Day!

Got Coffee Questions? We Have Answers

Have you ever wondered if the famed Technivorm Moccamaster is truly worth the steep investment? Do you know the exact difference between a light roast and a dark roast bean? Are you curious if the best coffee grinder is genuinely the most crucial component of your morning setup, or how to achieve that delicious, thick crema seen all over social media? We are here to answer all of that—and anything else you might want to know about your daily brew.

You can ask us anything: whether specific espresso machines are worth their high price tags, what makes up the ultimate camping coffee setup, what confusing coffee jargon actually means, or even how to choose the right beans for your palate.

Event Schedule and Guidelines

Our coffee expert will be answering questions live until 12 pm ET, and will return the following day to address any remaining inquiries. You can submit your questions at any time until midnight ET.

As a quick reminder, please keep all questions appropriate and on-topic. We strive to maintain an inclusive space where everyone feels safe and respected, whether you are a seasoned coffee connoisseur or a total beginner.
