☕ - 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.

Go buy some quality coffee beans, a grinder, and turn it into coffee.

I'd recommend keeping it simple at first. Drip coffee, pour over, or an aeropress are all easy to use and make it well.

Keep track of the water to coffee ratio (ideally with a scale, but a little measuring scoop works too). Tweak it over time to your taste.

If you really want to go deep, there are countless hours of people talking about coffee on YouTube. The fun part for me is just experimenting and drinking it. The caffeine is fun too.
