☕ - 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.

I have an idea for a post, some may have seen a comment of mine earlier. I’m looking for the most offensive-to-coffee-snobs approach to making coffee possible. I’m assuming something to do with instant, but from there, I don’t have many ideas.

Someone suggested reconstituting it in milk, that seems fun, any other ideas? I’m fully expecting the end result to be absolutely disgusting, for what it’s worth. I’m looking for the worst abomination possible, but it still needs to technically be coffee. Get creative, have fun with this. Whichever technique gets chosen (or multiple get combined), I’ll credit in the post I make.

Some supermarkets here have grinding machines so you can grind them before even buying them!

that is fine though. If you only have a cheap blade grinder at home, the ones in the supermarket are usually super high quality. Also the coffee is still somewhat freshly ground then.

I have heard that professionals or just people that are really into it can taste the difference after a couple of hours. Most other people can taste the difference after 24 hours. The coffee isn’t shit then, it just has noticeably less flavour and might taste a bit stale, as the coffee oils oxidize more quickly.

I am sorry … i know in which thread i am …
