โ - 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'll skip the usual NPC monologue about how a moka pot does not make espresso, period, because the grind and pressure and process are completely different and that's OK... Well, damn, still monologued. ๐คฃ
Anyway, I have a Bambino (which is the absolute low end of things I'd consider) and a moka pot, they're both fun and make decent coffee, but the moka pot is a lot more forgiving than the espresso machine. The amounts of time I got really bad coffee out of the moka pot vs out of the espresso machine are not even close.
Similar experience with the Bambino, although I think that with any expresso machine, you are going to toss out a few cups until you get good.
