☕ - 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.

Always on the lookout for great roasters (I generally buy a bag of fresh roasted when I am visiting someplace). So who is your favorite local-ish (not necessarily around the corner, but at least within a reasonable driving distance) roaster?

For me:

  • Virginia (northern): Cafe Kreyol
  • Virginia (eastern shore): Eastern Shore Coastal Roasting Company
  • Virginia (Hampton Roads): Pale Horse Coffee

We're from all over the world, here's mine for Bulgaria. The top 5 largest cities are about 4-5 hours away from each other by car so it's all "local".

  • Varna: Jasmin coffee. Three words: Yirgacheffe blueberry explosion!
  • Sofia: Martines coffee. They seem to like spicy coffee if that makes sense.
  • Sofia: Daboff. By fast the most popular in the country with a huge assortment. Too boogie for my tastes and their more affordable coffees didn't exactly make me go wow. BUT, I had a Costa Rican coffee at 20€/200g that smelled of cocoa and chocolate, extremely light bodied, almost like tea so they deserved a mention.
