☕ - 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.

A V60 is super cheap, you can buy decent filters online for reasonably cheap too and there are many videos on brewing technique. You should be able to find a decent hand grinder for coffee beans for a very reasonable amount of money as well. All in all that's a budget friendly setup that will let you make coffee of a very high standard.
When sourcing beans, you want to look for single origin specialty coffee, preferably sourced from a single small region like an individual farm or collective. Don't buy darker roasts than medium as the characteristics of the coffee bean will be overwhelmed by the roast. Buy small bags from a wide variety of regions and a wide variety of described taste notes to start getting a feel for what you like. Try some fermented coffee, try some Ethiopian light roasts, try some Sumatra Mandheling.
