☕ - 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.

Nice. What equipment do you use for roasting? Good results?
I have a Fresh Roast SR-500, with the extension tube (long story about getting that after it had been discontinued). Usually get my beans from homeroastcoffee.com but I just ordered some from coffeebeancorral.com
I get pretty consistent results, but it took a lot of fiddling to figure out my process for best results. I now get a pretty consistent result with 8 oz of green beans.
Looks good!
I got started with a whisk, a pan, and a colander for cooling. You really don't need anything expensive to get started.
I am currently using a $20 air popcorn popper, and while there is some variance between roasts the result is still loads better than store bought imo.
