☕ - 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.

The Moka Pot is for espresso. The way you use it properly is to pre-boil the water in the bottom portion and then apply the heat from the stove to minimize the overall scorching from overheating the frame. My grandparents always started from cold and I start from warm and it makes a world of difference in taste and power.
If you're consistently brewing coffee and not espresso the AeroPress is a no-brainer. It makes an incredible cup that really brings out the flavors in great coffee. When I want to show somebody a good single origin to demonstrate the funky flavors I will always brew with an AeroPress because it's very clean. The Moka pot can do this for good espresso, provided you start from warm water.
