☕ - 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.

Most days it's an Areopress, sometimes V60. Very rarely, moka or phin. I can and do skip coffee. I do 3 days in a row "dry" every month or so to keep an eye on caffeine addiction. If I get headaches, I take a longer break and dial back usage.
I backcountry backpack and have started carrying caffeine pills in my first aid kit. Not for myself, but for people I run into who are suffering from withdrawal headaches. I've met a couple people who drink several cups per day in their normal life, then cut to one while backpacking or none at all, not realizing they'll go through withdrawal.
I throw in espresso as well, but no breaks for me. The headaches are telling me I shouldn't stop...
