โ - 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.

Whoa! I don't actually know what I expected, but this is so much more awesome information than I thought I'd see!
Thanks, everyone -- I think I'm leaning towards a Baratza model, as that should fit a lot of categories that weren't absolutely necessary, but preferred (electric, mid-range price, upgradeable).
Eventually, I may go for something fancier, some of those recommended are very slick, or gift myself a hand-grind; I do enjoy the ritual for certain things, but I'm not there yet, for coffee -- props to those who put so much care into your brew!
Illness wrecked my enjoyment of many things until recently, coffee included, so it's exciting--if not a little daunting--seeing numerous home options available. It seemed like pour-over was just getting going in the US last time I had the will and energy to look into a better brew, so I'll be thrilled to have something nicer than my little Y2K era Krupps grinder (though the tiny beast is still kickin', haha), and slowly move into a variety of quality home brewing options, especially as winter approaches.
