The Coffee Companion offered his unique blend of wit and passion in methodical, objective reviews of coffee brewers and related equipment. His moniker is Coffee Kevin.

Original custom art-work was created for each issue by Robert Voigts of Wordsworth Design, a mega-talented artist and graphic designer. His custom coffee cup art was new for each and every issue. Printed on the finest quality heavy-weight cream stock each issue is unique and is now considered a highly regarded coffee collectable.
