☕ - 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.

Like the title says I was gifted some pre-ground coffee by relatives that visited Brazil. This coffee is pre-ground and is finer than anything I’ve seen. Seriously, it looks like powered sugar!

My usual brewing method is a pour over, but it is so fine the water doesn’t filter through.

My backup method has been a french press and it works, but not ideal as it tends to over extract.

Any suggestion from the community (that don’t involve buying an espresso machine, that plan was already veto’d by my spouse…)?

The espresso machine won't solve your problem. Get a cezve, something sweet, and enter the wonderful world of Turkish coffee. Make sure to look up recipes. Try not to overdose, these shots are strong!

P.s. you can also do it in a stovetop pot like this, they might be more widely available or check your local Turkish/eastern shop for the cezve. They aren't expensive usually.
