About

I still remember my first “real” cup of coffee.

Not the instant stuff my mum used to make, but a proper espresso — pulled fresh behind the counter on my first day as a barista. It was bold, a little bitter, and completely addictive. I was hooked from that very first sip.

That was years ago. Since then, coffee has gone from being just a job to becoming a genuine obsession — the good kind. The kind that has you reading about Ethiopian processing methods at midnight, or spending a Saturday morning dialing in your grind size just to shave two seconds off your extraction time.

Yeah. That kind of obsession.

So, Who Am I?

I’m Rebecca Lynn — a former barista, a relentless home brewer, and the person behind every post on this site.

I spent several years working in coffee shops, learning the craft from the ground up. I’ve steamed milk until my arms ached, explained the difference between a flat white and a latte more times than I can count, and yes — I’ve absolutely had arguments about whether oat milk belongs in an espresso. (It does. Fight me.)

When I stepped away from the counter, I brought everything I learned with me. My kitchen became my new café. My mornings became experiments. And eventually, all those notes, tips, and little discoveries turned into YourCoffeeBuzz.

What This Site Is About

This isn’t a site run by a big media company or a team of writers churning out articles. It’s just me, my brew station, and a genuine love for sharing what I know.

I write about things I’ve actually tried — recipes I’ve tested, methods I’ve fumbled through, and gear I’ve used with my own hands. If something didn’t work for me, I’ll tell you. If I found a shortcut that makes your morning easier, you’ll be the first to know.

You’ll find a mix of things here — brew guides for beginners, deep dives into coffee origins, honest product thoughts, and recipes that go way beyond your average latte. Whether you’re just getting into specialty coffee or you’ve been at it for years, there’s something here for you.

Why I Started This

Honestly? Because I kept getting asked questions.
