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.

My wife and I split a pot a day, brewed on a Moccamaster. We buy bulk from a local grocery store a lb at a time and go thru about 3 lbs a month. At $12/lb, we’re at around $40 a month.
During the winter months I go to a coffee shop down by the Seattle waterfront. I do it because they’re starving in the winter and I want them to stay open. Couple times a week, $5 with tip for a drip.
$5USD for a coffee, is that normal? Is that inclusive of a tip? Here in Australia Id leave the register if they tried charging me more than $3USD, and we don't have a tipping culture (thank god).
You could probably find $3, but no less. And if you went to a nice coffee shop, that did a pour over or something, I'd expect $5-$7.
I'd say $3.50 is about the cheapest pour over house coffee here in PNW US. You can find cheaper stuff at like 7-Eleven and other convenience stores - about $1-$2 but the quality is usually lacking. McDonald's was my cheapest/most convenient/tastiest go-to back in Florida. I think it was around $2
PNW?
Damn, $3.50USD gets you a flat white/cappuccino/latte here, I don't know if you'd find pour over coffee. And people here are upset at THAT cost, with home espresso machines taking off accordingly. I'm surprised Americans drink so much coffee at that price.
My local sit-in cafe near Portland has V60 and chemex for about $3.50 but the ones I really love is the whole milk 16oz latte from the tiny 4x12 coffee house but they're like $4
The sit in place, I tip in but the coffee house doesn't even ask for one if I use my card.
Lots of coffee here so I've found $8 lattes at places and that makes me retch
