I’m the creator of the Autonomous Tamper. I wanted to build something that combines the precision of a professional automatic tamper with the portability of a hand tool. It features adjustable pressure (13-20kg), a touchscreen, and fits any 58mm & 58.4mm portafilters. I'd love to hear your feedback or answer! More info: https://autonomous.coffee"

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a project my partner is leading and I’m supporting. We are Colombians based in Germany, and after being obsessed with specialty coffee for a long time, we finally decided to start our own roasting journey as home roasters.
We are naturally starting with Colombian and Latin American beans, putting all our heart into getting the best out of every roast while we learn the craft.
But more than anything, we want to invite you to be part of this project**.** We’re just about to start documenting our learning curve and the whole roasting process in general, and we’d love to have you with us from the beginning. Our idea is to build a community where we can all learn to enjoy better coffee together.
If you want to see how we grow or just chat about coffee, we’d love to connect!

Hii all!
I'm brand new to the coffee world and trying to take a measurable step-by-step approach to learning how to discern different brewing methods and flavours.
So far:
- I used to drink black tea. My first attempt at instant coffee (water + sugar) was a fail.
- I tried Nescafe Gold with a handheld milk frother and plenty of milk to try and make some silly version of an instant coffee latte and actually loved the texture and caffeine kick.
- Currently, I've moved on to a French Press with pre-ground light roast coffee. Honestly, I don't enjoy it as much as the frothed instant coffee. It feels a bit thin to me, but I'm finishing the bag before I move on.
- My next step is using a KINGrinder P2 to grind my own coffee.
My questions (feel free to answer any, don't need to answer all!):
- Is this slow progress actually helpful? Or should I skip the trial and error and jump to a more advanced brewing method?
- Since I preferred the instant coffee over the light roast, should I be looking at a medium or dark roast for my first bag of whole beans?
- I was looking to buy a Moka Pot too. But I'm wondering if I should first use the French Press + P2 grinder combo? Or should I jump to Moka Pot + P2 grinder
- I'm curious, if you were starting over, would you follow a path like this, or is there a certain starting point you would insist is the baseline to begin at?
Thanks for any advice!! 💖

Dirty Lemonade - Sprout Rosie Cheeks Edition
Not gonna lie, I experimented on so many pour overs+flash brews with this bean before I finally found my favorite way to drink it.
10/10 can recommend if you encounter the Rosie Cheeks yourself and it happens to be a sunny day.
P.S. I used to hate the concept of dirty lemonades but now love it for the floral/herbal beans I don’t like in v60.
Probably not breaking news for a lot of you, but maybe something fun to share 😭🤠💪
