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 would add that it's just based on her personal taste. She seems to have a pretty good pallet, but it's hard to say how many would agree with her assessment.
True. It also matters what you're doing with it. Are you adding cream and sugar. I like a cold brew and tonic and to get the cold brew to stand up to the tonic I brew between 24 and 36 hours. If I'm sipping on it as is I usually only let it go overnight.
I'll also do batches where I brew it with only enough hot water to let the coffee bloom, then drop ice water on it and let it sit overnight. That's been my favorite so far.

It’s common to cleanse the palate during a tasting with something neutral, water in this case.
That’s the 0 hour control
