☕ - 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.

It's the combination of acidity and grassy floral flavors. It feels refreshing. It's an additional element of mental pickup alongside caffeine itself.
On that note I feel like the overlap between light roast enjoyers and IPA enjoyers is basically a circle. Some of us like those kinds of tastes.
Haha, this threat is somewhat dejecting. I hate IPAs
Oh hey it's me
Yeah, light roasts generally have brighter and more complex flavours, which is what I've come to enjoy most out of a good coffee
I can still enjoy a dark coffee the same way I can still enjoy a Guinness, but if I'm choosing, I'll be picking the more complex drink with a greater gamut of variation between different ones
That’s interesting. Why do you think that to be the case?
I admit it doesn’t square with my own experience, but I wouldn’t want to just write it off.
It's my feeling they fall into the same category of tastes. Acidic bitter grass and fruit with a lot variation and complexity.
Yes we usually call light roast not bitter but that's only in comparison with the dark roast, which lacks other mentioned flavors.
