☕ - 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've looked at steel ones, but I don't find them very pretty. Would be happy enough with a clear plastic one, that I think would be a decent middle ground for durability, aesthetics and price
I don't much care how it looks. It is a tool. Plastic is always an issue when used with hot liquids. Plastisizers transferring to foods. Stainless steel lasts forever.
Totally get where you're coming from, but aesthetics matter to me
If you are willing to at least consider stainless, Zojirushi makes some wonderful simple and durable without looking clunky products. I have an insulated carafe from them we use daily to keep extra brewed coffee warm so we don't have to brew multiple times.
