From my research over the past week or so, it seems a lot of us here started with “just loving coffee”… but for some, that passion has sparked bigger ideas. (eg. I started a coffee business 5 years ago) Curious to know where you sit 👇 Feel free to add in the comments what your dream venture would be, I bet there’ll be some fun surprises!

Firstly , a massive thank you to everyone who’s shared ideas so far, it already feels like we’re continuing to build on something special here. Shout-out to: @Matteo Borea @Marcin Hakemer-Fernandez @Leo Osahor @Mirtha Pena @Robert Hamilton @Lee Snelling @Prasad P @Anam Mazhar Iqbal @Nick McCashin @Pradeep Javedar @Jeevan Tripathi @Benjamin Sand @Naureen Amjad @Marius Esterhuyse @Dee Debeshe @Vernon Omeri @Luke Gilbert you’ve all added real value - forgive me if I've left out your name in error After pulling together everyone’s comments, here are the top 5 things our members are asking for: 1. More engagement & belonging - Content + conversations. - Polls, infographics, and posts that invite replies. - Engagement first, numbers second. 2. Passion projects, journeys & mentorship - A thread where members share what they’re working on, their setups, and memorable coffee moments. - Coffee mentors: learn from others in the group. - Local meetups in different countries. - A mix of practical tips (gear, brewing, troubleshooting) + deeper discussions (origins, sustainability). 3. Interactive challenges & fun - Weekly challenges (brew a certain bean/method - share notes). - “7-day Latte Art Challenge.” @Claire Quinn ! - “Guess the Brew” (cup/beans - guess the origin/flavour notes). - Coffee passport: collect stamps for every new origin tried. - Daily ritual shares: post your morning mug, setup, or ritual.

Cloud Coffee is the latest social media trend that’s taking the coffee world by storm. This refreshing drink combines espresso, coconut water, and a splash of cream or non-dairy milk, creating a light, tropical beverage perfect for summer. How to Make Cloud Coffee: 1. Fill a glass with ice and pour in 10–12 oz (300–360 ml) of coconut water. 2. In a separate container, combine ½ oz (15 ml) of espresso, 1.5 oz (45 ml) of heavy cream or non-dairy milk, and a sweetener like agave or vanilla syrup to taste. Froth until light and airy (~30–45 seconds). 3. Pour the frothy espresso mixture over the iced coconut water. 4. Stir and enjoy! Not only does it look pretty cool with its cloud-like micro-foam, but the coconut water adds natural electrolytes, making it a hydrating alternative to traditional coffee drinks! Give it a try and share your creations below 👇 And doesn’t forget to tell use what coffee as the espresso you used.

The next time you want to brew a coffee and share it with the community .. chill with the skool cat. Type "let there be cat" in the search bar - the car will appear Choose between a few different genres (I recommend lofi for your coffee brewing) Type "shoo cat" and the cat will return to wherever it came from...

Are you a coffee blend drinker or do you always opt for a single origin coffee? WHY?
