☕ - 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.

Look for a used grinder on craigslist, buynothing groups, etc. for a better deal on a "more serious" grinder.
I bought a Baratza Encore base model from someone who was moving on to espresso, and it's been great!
It's a popular machine, with repairability with readily available parts, and even some aftermarket burrs, is a great feature of the Encore.
I have a baratza model that's effectively the predecessor to the encore, and it's completely compatible with all the encore parts.
I bought it over 10 years ago from a thrift store, and I've replaced the burrs, the burr carrier, the grind adjustment, and the gearbox. I'd still be using it daily if I hadn't started making espresso.
