☕ - 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.

With drip machines the trick is finding one that gets the water hot enough for proper extraction. Most of them do not. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the Mocca Master is the gold standard here, but it's expensive.
Of course, the easiest way to get boiling water is with a kettle, and if you can forego the convenience of a drip machine there are a bunch of brewing methods where you supply the water. The French press, the Aeropress and the Hairo V60 pour-over are popular options.
The main thing, though, if you're serious about the flavor of your coffee, is to grind your own beans.
And make sure those beans have a recent roast date. A lot of coffee bags sold in grocery stores near me don't even post their roast date.
If you like coffee from a local shop, see if they'll sell you a bag.
