The Team

Introducing the diverse team of writers, designers and developers behind Coffee Machines Reviews.

• 

  John Hillman

  Content team

  John Hillman is a writer/journalist who spends his days researching and writing about new technology, gadgets, and – yes - coffee.

  He has been reviewing techie gadgets (coffee machines, laptops, etc.) for more years than he cares to remember and loves design, architecture and art.

  Cat Kempsell

  Graphic Designer

  Cat is Coffee Machines Reviews's chief designer and therefore is responsible for making the site beautiful, simple, appealing and logical. All at once.

  She weaved her way to London with five years of design experience which had begun in her home city of Edinburgh. Along the way she had designed for print, display, digital and — on even one occasion — the side of a London bus.

  When wrenched away from her Mac, Cat is most likely to be found in one of London's art galleries, museums or pubs.

  Matthias Scherer

  Content team

  Matthias Scherer is the web editor of Coffee Machines Reviews. His Colombian roots have instilled in him a love of tinto and café con leche, but he has been known to sip espresso with just as much vigour. When he isn't snooping around for coffee-related news, he likes to read books by angry young men.

  Jamil Beerahee

  Back End Developer

  Jamil is the back end developer for PC Site, in charge of maintaining all our databases.

  He studied computer science in London, specialising in PHP and MySQL. He revamped many websites in his time and is a whizz with CMS such as Wordpress and Joomla. His least favourite part of programming is debugging.

  Aside from being an excellent programmer, Jamil is a football fanatic, an Internet junkie and enjoys eating foreign cuisine — especially food dishes containing a whole lot of chilli.

  Karim Beerahee

  Content team

  Karim Beerahee is a web editor for Coffee Machines Reviews. In a betrayal of position he favours a cafetiere, but the day he finds a perfect machine there will be no expense spared. Of late you’ll find him ambling about London, flat white in hand, more often than not utterly lost.
