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.

The problem I always have with off brand / mass produced beans (Aldi, other supermarkets' own brands, Amazon...) is that they're usually burnt to shit, literally acrid smelling and dark af. Maybe some people are into that?

I don't know whether it's just all coming out of the same factory or they're all trying to cover up inferior beans but none of them have heard of light or medium roast apparently, even when it says that on the packet.

The fun thing is that this is what Scandinavians think coffee should taste like. At least the older generations.. I once tasted sweedish roasted coffee which essentially was an dark roasted dark roast...

I mean it's probably better than nothing... So like a 2/10?

But I'm absolutely a coffee snob, so you'll have to take my opinion lightly lol.
