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 fortunately have many local roasters in my area, but I found one within walking distance and it isn't stupid expensive (looking at you George Howell, delicious but pricey). And they give me $1 off since I bring my own containers so I don't need a bag. Del's Coffee in Waltham if anyone is in the area!

That's awesome! Glad y'all found one another :)

When I was in Chicago IL USA, I was fond of Stivers Coffee. Solid folk roasting solid beans. https://www.pbs.org/video/labor-love-drives-meticulous-stivers-coffee-operation-quj8xo/

I've got a host of options near me in my new home of Portland OR - there's a lot to try! It's exciting :)

What are some of your favorites in Portland? I never branch out because I get my coffee for free 😂

Lol free is always best!

Honestly, I have yet to find better than Stumptown, but admittedly I have not tried much by way of local beans. Stumptown is nationwide and all, but the Holler Mountain roast always hits right (I typically just make cold brew), even when I was in Chicago! Lol

I have heard good things about Water Avenue though! They're next for me.

What kinda free coffee are you usually drinking? Or are they from mystery beans?

I haven't had Water Ave in years but it was always good when I had it. I work for Nossa Familia, so that's my source of free beans. Of course I'm biased but I really like our Full Cycle blend for all brewing methods including espresso.

If you like natural processed coffees try out Push Pull. They're in inner SE.

I appreciate the recs, friend :) Nissa Familia and Push Pull are next on my list!
