Hey, I’m Ahsan Ali. This isn’t just a page, it’s the story of how three coffee nerds turned their obsession into something useful for you.
It all started when my terrible dorm coffee made me realize: life’s too short for bad brews. I dragged my friends Atika (the flavor wizard) and Maqsood (the gear freak) into this madness.
What began as late-night tasting sessions is now Rust Coffee, where we:
- Burn our tongues testing 20 espressos back-to-back
- Take apart gadgets to see what’s actually worth your money
- Argue constantly about grind sizes (it gets dramatic)
We’re not some fancy coffee corporation. We’re just people who messed up enough times to help you get it right.
Latest Adventures
- Currently testing if a £50 grinder can beat a £500 one.
- Training Maqsood to actually taste notes beyond “strong”.
- Accidentally turned Atika into a TikTok star with her latte art.
