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.

Obviously, we all love James, but is there anyone else you subscribe to?

Personally, I watch Lance Hedrick. I like what he does, but his vids tend to be super nerdy, so might not be everyone's cup of tea

World champion barista James Hoffmann

Very expressive, with his posh British accent, and seems very respectable.

On the other hand, the phrase "coffee snob" comes to mind.

Not that this is a problem with Mr. Hoffmann alone, but with the whole internet coffee discussion.

For most of us, there's absolutely nothing wrong with supermarket pre-ground coffee.

There's no real need to buy beans roasted within the last hour to gently spoon into a USD$300 coffee grinder to get a decent cup of joe.

If I want to know what supermarket brands are decent, I shouldn't be ridiculed for not approaching peak coffee.
