โ - 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.

It's not a routine, it's a state of flow. It's movements repeated and perfected over the years. When I brew my espresso, l'm in the zone. I weigh my beans. 18g. I spritz them with water. I pour them in the grinder, I grind. I declump with my 3d printed WDT tool. I tamp, I clean the edges of the portafiler, I attach it to the grouphead, I put the cup under it and I launch the brew. I admire it as it flows. It's beautiful. It never gets old.
When it's done, I dump the puck, rinse the portafilter and the group and give it a quick brush. It's ready for the next shot.
