☕ - 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.

Usually the more money you pour into a thing the better it gets at one aspect of it which could be really important for some but probably not very important for most. As for the retention issue, I’ve found spraying some water on my coffee beans right before grinding significantly reduces retention. Disclaimer: I use a hand grinder (1ZPresso J-Max) but I’m sure it would work for other grinders too.
A fellow 1ZPresso user! I have a JX Pro and it was my daily use grinder before I got the Niche. After I started making espresso, I had a hard time dialing in the grind on the JX Pro. It seemed inconsistent, one shot would be perfect, and the next would be horrible with nothing else changing. I had been wanting something automatic for a long time, and decided to go with the Niche. I still use the JX Pro when I go camping, since the carrying case is great.
