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.

Very poor planning. 5,000 kits is simply not enough especially when encouraging people to buy multiple to share with friends and family. This seems more suited for a Patreon exclusive event. He has over 7,000 supporters there giving him $20,000 USD every month.

Ironically, by selling out so quickly they are really damaging the quality of the results they will get. The overwhelming majority of those kits just got sold to a bunch of coffee nerds with notifications set for his channel and not the broad consumer base they say they want to reach.

My wife is going to have sooo much fun teasing me for this…

More than half the kits are gone already. I love that people are willing to do these kind of taste tests.

Excited to take part this time! Also something my wife will make fun of me for but I'll rope her in alongside me.
