☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

You can probably start with Starbucks :p

With my gatekeeping hat firmly on:

Starbucks is a great dessert place. Some of their desserts are coffee themed, and those are best avoided.

People like to hate on Starbucks, but they make decent espressos pretty consistently. I’ve tried many local coffee shops and espressos are always bitter.

I like their blonde roast myself! But yeah I was thinking of their sweet offerings lol that’s usually a good gateway to coffee drinking I think xD

For sure. The diabetic java chip fraps got me early in life. Now I just do espressos.
