☕ - 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.

My go-to is a level teaspoon of honey mixed into the kind of coffee that looks like black tar, for a beginner I'd suggest buying some of those paper coffee filters and a holder that sits on top of your cup, and a small bag of a '3' strength (most supermarkets do a 2, 3, 4, and 5 roast)
See how the flavour suits you, and experiment with different roasts
If you want to get instant coffee go for Dowe Egberts (the glass jar with the gold label) because it's one of the nicer options (for now, until keurig/dr pepper turn it into just another mass produced coffee)
