About Us

Engineering the Art of Espresso

ARO Espresso exists to solve real problems in the espresso workflow with tools that are precise, reliable, and thoughtfully engineered. Every product is made with tight tolerances, quality materials, and a level of refinement that only comes from countless prototypes and rounds of testing. Our goal is straightforward: create high-quality, functional tools that make espresso easier, cleaner, and more consistent for anyone who cares about the workflow as much as the taste.

Continuous improvement drives everything we do. Nothing is ever considered final. Each production run is a new opportunity to tighten tolerances, refine feel, or update a detail that makes our tools better than they were before. That mindset guides every design, whether it’s something new or a product we’ve been making for years.

Who We Are

I’m Nate, the founder, designer, and engineer behind ARO Espresso. Before starting this company, I spent years in aerospace designing aircraft mechanisms and production tooling. That work shaped how I think about fit, function, and durability, and taught me that the hardest designs to get right are often the simplest ones. Every detail matters. My role here is to bring that mindset into espresso tools and keep improving them through constant testing and iteration.

ARO Espresso has grown because of a community that values thoughtful design and dependable tools. Your support makes it possible for us to stay small, stay close to the engineering, and keep improving with every release. Thank you for being part of this! Our commitment is to continue building products that earn their place on your bar, last for years, and genuinely make the art of espresso more enjoyable.
