☕ - 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 fine. and I can have it hot or cold, and using it as an ingredient in anything else is a cinch.

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.
