About me!

My Name is Dave Carter, and I’m a self-proclaimed Coffee Snob!

Ever since Having my first “real” cup of coffee at a small hole-in-the-wall cafe in Seattle, I was instantly hooked. I wanted to bring “that” taste home, so I could enjoy it whenever I desire.

My wife says i’m crazy and spend way too much time and money on coffee,

I just call it passion. 🙂

ConvergentCoffee.com is my ‘baby’, and the result of years of ‘coffee-snobbery’. Sometimes the best espresso machine or cappuccino maker isn’t the most expensive, and the aim of this site is to help you sort through that stuff, and get the most out of your dollar. 🙂
