☕ - 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 would like some recommendations for a single serve brewer, preferably one that uses ground coffee and not pods. I had a hamilton beach 'the scoop' model at one point that I liked pretty well, but I'm open to other options if there are better one's out there.

I'm currently using a aeropress, but I would like an additional brewer for convenience purposes.

True, you'll want to avoid nylon, polypropylene, etc plastics and treatments in manufacturing. Cotton and other natural fibers seem to work well. I'm using boao cotton bags or if I get tea I'll get stash pre-bagged. There's a bunch of manufacturers who avoid micro plastics, but you do have to look out for it.
