Option-O Lagom casa

Someone near me is selling a Option-O Lagom casa for well below market price.

I'm not entirely clued up on if there are clones of these around, but if anyone in the community has one, can you confirm the packaging is at least accurate. This is sadly all the pictures available, unless I ask for some more.

I know they make a 45mm and 65mm version of the casa and this doesn't even seem to indicate that so I'm curious if it's too good to be true.

Coffee shop curators needed

A friend and I travel a lot, both personally and for work. For years, we’ve talked about how difficult it is to find genuinely good coffee shops in a new area. I’m sure you know the drill: search Reddit for “best coffee shop in X,” search Google Maps, and then try to figure out whether the good ratings are for the coffee or for the food and syrup-heavy drinks.

We’ve often talked about creating an opinionated, curated coffee shop app that only includes places where you’re guaranteed to get a great third-wave coffee. He finally built it.

I won’t name it here, as I don’t want to fall foul of this subreddit’s promotion guidelines. The app and its curation are a labor of love, with no ads or in-app purchases.

What we do need is to make the app genuinely useful. At the moment, we’ve focused on building listings for Atlanta, USA, where he lives, and Paris, France, where I live.

We’re looking for curators who would be interested in taking responsibility for specific cities or regions by submitting and approving coffee shops from the community. If you have a bit of time to help put some great shops on the map, please let me know.

Thoughts on coffee from El Salvador?

What are peoples opinions of the coffee grown in Apaneca and Ataco? Any coffee shops in the US that sell this kind of coffee?

I’ve got family in this area and every time of gone to visit I’ve always been amazed at how great some of the coffee tastes.

Hear me out

Ok I’m no expert and need people thoughts from real experience and straight up.

I got family out of the US and in a town that makes incredible coffee beans with specialty roasting techniques for centuries, etc. I personally love to bake cupcakes and believe that black coffee would pair well with it.

I have never started a business or sold anything of any kind before. I have given away lots of cupcakes around for people to taste and give feedback and they all loved them but couldn’t figure out how to sell it (local cafe showed interest but wanted me to make the cost so much lower to the point I’d have to change the product but that’s not me)

Anyways back to coffee, I think coffee paired or standalone would sell so much better but I really don’t know what and where to start. I’d have to import the beans ready roasted all the way here. I don’t have the money to start a specialty shop (not sure even opening a shop is a good idea to start with).

Has anyone done coffee business where you import the beans ready and you sell the coffee drinks, how are you selling, and how is it going for you. Any advice would be appreciated

What is the best specialty coffee roasted for brewed coffee?

I’m recently really into testing brewed coffee with different roasts and origins, and I have this question in my mind that, in your opinion what is the best roasted coffee beans for a brewed coffee and what was you’ve had, has the better taste?

Right know for me, it is Hambela Ethiopia from Lemm Coffee Roasters, and in my opinion it tastes really good.

Gooseneck kettle recommendations? What should I buy?

I'm trying to upgrade my gear and looking for gooseneck kettle recommendations. I've been going back and forth between the OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature and the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro. Is the Stagg worth the bump in price? I love the way it looks and I like the added functionality (like the scheduled boils) but I'm not sure how often I'd actually use some of them. If you own one, do you ever use the "bonus" features?

Open to other kettle recommendations, if there's something else around that price range that you'd recommend. My biggest criteria are temperature control, pouring control, and auto-shutdown.

Posted this in r/Coffee, but I'd love to get some thoughts from the good people in this sub too.
