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.

Trying Square mile’s Thirika Kenyan coffee this week in the Aeropress. First time and it’s a really unique flavour! Would love to hear thoughts on these beans or Kenyan coffee in general!

Probably for measuring out the water. 1ml of water weighs approximately 1 gram, so you can use a scale to figure out the volume.

Exactly this! Maybe not completely necessary in an aeropress vs something like a V60. Also used to weigh the beans before and after the grind to make sure it’s consistent :)

Also in the pic the scales are set to timer so I know to press when it hits the 2min mark.
