Mission

Owly Choice publishes hands-on advice to help readers enjoy the best quality coffee at home. Our goal is to empower you to be a smart shopper and to save money on coffee purchases.

  • Shop FASTER, shop SMARTER through independent research, tests and reviews. Shopping for coffee makers, espresso machines or even coffee beans has become very confusing over the years. There’s not a lot of reliable information out there. We bridge that gap by putting each and every coffee maker through thorough tests.

  • Keep you and your family out of harm’s way. We pay special attention to health-related risks associated with materials and substances used in the manufacturing process. Due to ever increasing pressures on profit margins, some manufacturers use substances and materials that are unsafe to use. The side-effects have been scientifically proven to cause cancer, among other serious diseases. In our product research, we emphasize which products are safe and which ones carry health-related risks.

  • Save money. Owly Choice aims to save you money. Retailers want to squeeze the most out of you. They trick you into overpaying or buying junk. Owly Choice will help you determine whether the price of a product is fair, or not. We will also let you know when the best time to purchase the product is.

  • Don’t buy junk! Owly Choice assists you in becoming a smart shopper. Retailers and manufacturers use a variety of tactics to disorient shoppers like you. Wise up to the shopping game. Don’t let retailers fool you into overpaying or buying junk ever again.
