☕ - 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’ll look into that. I’ve heard steel or nothing, but maybe those ceramics compete with steel? I’ll have to do more research.
Ceramic is tried and true. It has been around for a long time, it is widely understood.
Yes, you can occasionally get more fines with ceramic than with steel. But ceramic can last a lifetime if you don't drop it. Ceramic can be washed, so oils don't accumulate and turn rancid. Ceramic will never heat the beans when you're grinding. And ceramic will not go over time.
Steel is The New Thing. And it is good. But it has many flaws that get downplayed.
Fair enough. It’s definitely something I’ll have to look into more.
