☕ - 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.

Why doesn't coffee have a FAFO culture (lemmy.world)

How come there is no real "wacky experimentation" side of the coffee community? The only one I can identify is the "snobby" coffee community (you know the one), and the rest being mostly just a refrained version of that.

Compare that to the homebrewing community, you have the snobbs (the mead community is infamous), but then there are the "prison hoochers", turning anything containing sugar into alcohol.

Where are the mavericks who perform the important societal task of discerning if "is coffee and cheeto-spice a good combo?" and "what happens if you brew coffee with red bull?"

On a more serious note it would be great so more people try different ways to spice coffee, instead of just trying to brew the flatest, "perfect" brew. I've found adding some fruity black tea to my coffee in a French press to work really well.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but there’s a locally famous coffee shop in Boone, NC that makes seasonal specialty drinks that pairs coffee with all sorts of things. Some of the more interesting ones I’ve seen over the years:

  • Campfire - nitro coffee, milk, burnt sugar, homemade toasted marshmallow
  • Coffee paired with matcha
  • Espresso with grapefruit and burnt sugar
  • Espresso, lime, local honey, ice, garnished with a candied lime and a piece of honeycomb

Then of course you have your random places that mix chicory into coffee, which I enjoy from time to time. Cafe du monde in New Orleans is the famous one. A local shop in Carrboro, NC has it as cold brew.

So it’s out there in the world, I’m not sure where these folks talk online though.

I love coffee and matcha but both really fucks me up for some reason and tastes... better than some of the 'healthy shakes' that I've tried.
