☕ - 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.

I use James Hoffmann's French Press technique. This is mostly because all I own is a kettle, scale, and press so it isn't a question of what equipment I'm going to use but what technique. The technique takes a bit longer than the standard brew and immediate plunge technique but I tend to only make coffee on my day off (I hate feeling rushed to make and enjoy coffee) so it isn't a concern. I did order a manual grinder (Timemore C3) that should be arriving today so I'll get to play with whole beans and grind sizes in the future and I think I'm going to keep an eye out for an AeroPress or Moka Pot so I can expand my options and with options my go to may change.
P.S. To help combat the whole the you have to make coffee before coffee conundrum I have a coffee recipe app on my phone. So I don't have to think. I can just follow the steps and instructions complete with an on screen timer and a pleasant little ding between steps. It'll even let me make my own recipes so I'm not stuck with the preloaded ones if I want to experiment.
That app sounds interesting, which one do you use?
It's called Cofi. There are other ones out there, some allow recipe sharing or store more detailed information in the recipe template, but I like the streamlined interface of Cofi.
