☕ - 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.

It depends where you are currently; coffee will meet you where you are. This advice below is for if you don't drink coffee at all yet.
What you want to go for is a cup of coffee from a diner or drip coffee from a cafe. Leave the fancy coffee for later. Also leave instant coffees, gas station coffees, cold coffees, and home preparation alone until you have more of a taste for it.
Make sure you leave room for mixing in some kind of cream. I think half and half (a mix of milk and cream) is the best. Some people like other creamers or additions, like milk, or sugar. While the coffee may be an acquired taste, the half and half is almost guaranteed to be tasty right off the bat.
