☕ - 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.

Oxidation (and other processes) do affect coffee flavor, and grinding it up increases surface area / exposure to oxygen, speeding that up. Putting it in the fridge seems to also worsen flavor, but the freezer seems to be pretty reliable. Here's a nice video discussing this by a weird coffee person (James Hoffmann): Should you freeze coffee beans?
Also, KGLW, nice!
Woo! I picture James' disapproving stare at me everytime I let the kettle go to full boil, or accidentally oversteep ಠ_ಠ
