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.

$40 is already a premium price for what it is. It makes great coffee, but at the end of the day it's a sturdy plastic plunger. Probably $4 landed.

It's made in US, so it should be not as cheap as Chinese stuff.

I know it is, but production is almost completely hands off for something like this and plastic is cheap as dirt. US production runs wouldn't be very expensive either. It's a painfully simple product. You get like 5 pieces of plastic in a small box. You can find things that look more complicated at the dollar store.
