ive been thinking abt this for a while now: a comm for caffeinated drinks. im a big coffee drinker and rlly enjoy the process of brewing. this could be for tea too, and energy drinks ig. theres a lot of knowledge in brewing coffee (and im sure its the same for tea). im a bit of a novice, but i have a decent amount of experience to share involving espresso, cold brew, pour-overs, water hardness and temperature, grind size, bean selection, etc. we can also recommend each other gear. my first post would be talking abt my manual espresso machine that i highly recommend for quality espresso on a budget
as im already on the mod team, i could mod this comm, and im sure i could find other users passionate abt coffee or tea to deputize
i reckon food doesn’t get a huge amount of traffic currently, so might be easier to work/allow coffee and tea consumption and equipment discussion there?
like i get that discussing my baratza encore grinder and asking for reccs on a better one to blow my money on might not be strictly about food, but maybe we allow it?
just a tradeoff between having small comms that get drowned out vs diluting the comm topic too much i guess
