Matthew Korfhage is a writer and reviewer at WIRED, where he focuses on home and kitchen products that range from air fryers and coffee machines to space heaters, water filters, and beard trimmers. Before joining WIRED he covered food, drink, business, culture, and technology for more than a decade at USA Today Network, The Virginian-Pilot, and his hometown newspaper in Portland, Oregon, where he again lives. He holds a master’s in writing from Washington University in St. Louis and has received more than a dozen national awards from the Society for Features Journalism. He shared a Collier Prize for a feature about a fatal blizzard in Buffalo, New York. When he’s not testing ovens or coffee tech at home, he’s probably driving an hour to eat at a restaurant without a telephones.
