☕ - 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 press doesn't matter, material wise. Rubber plunger is closest thing to contact the coffee, and it usually doesn't. The other tube could be made of stainless steel, along with the honeycomb filter holder on bottom.

If that were a taste issue for some reason, it would way up the manufacturing price, but you can put a glass tube encased in stainless steel or plastic. It's been done with thermos' and water bottles.
