☕ - 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.

Yeah it's more of a novelty. I had a lot of money to blow at the time, and it was during the COVID lockdown so I splurged. I blame James Hoffman for me buying it 🤣 It's a pain in the ass to use effectively and to get a consistent shot of espresso out of. I don't use it often because it takes like 10 minutes of prep and brewing to make something I'll drink in 30 seconds.
