☕ - 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 literally don't even know how you would make coffee out of whatever is in this picture
you take a pinch of that stuff and pour it into a bowl of hot water. and done. coffee
In case you genuinely don’t know what instant coffee is, it’s freeze dried brewed coffee extract basically. Add some to a cup, add hot water, and it instantly (hence the name) becomes a cup of coffee. No filtering or straining needed. It’s not actually coffee grounds, it’s basically solid brewed coffee extract. When it comes into contact with water it dissolves into the water completely, no grit or anything.
You dissolve a teaspoon of it in a cup of hot water.
I think you mean four tablespoons, right? Or is that just me..?
Oh god I can't even imagine how strong it'd be with a tablespoon, let alone four. I use 1.5 teaspoons. The container says 1-2
i use 0.5 teaspoons.
