☕ - 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 tried James Hoffman's method for making Americanos more like drip coffee and it is actually pretty solid.

Steam tap water (I still often use the water from the machine first)

Pull a shot

Skim the crema off

Mix it a bit

It makes coffee at my work and at cafes more enjoyable as the beans often are quite mediocre.

Have you A/B tested the steamed water thing? Almost anyone else I’d have ignored the suggestion out of hand, even from him I’m incredibly skeptical.

I have, but not blind.

But itakes a lot of sense because the water tubing on 90% of machines is very very rarely cleaned. I have opened them up before and there is always limescale and mold all around that whole system.
