☕ - 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.

Find a local roaster.

The quality is so much better and you support a local business instead of a megacorp.

Yup, and most of the big brands are actually Nestle anyway. Fuck Nestle.

Edit: or Green Mountain which is now Keurig Dr Pepper?, depositor of plastic cups everywhere.

Here’s the brands listed on the Wikipedia page (though Seattles Best is missing, but present on Nestles own site):

Wow I had no idea that Starbucks in bags was Nestle.

One tick further down the rabbit hole is the most recent roast date of the local available roasters.

Also tends to cost more from what I've seen. Which, if you drink a crap ton of coffee like I do.. matters.
