Specialty Coffee Community – Our Next Steps Together
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.
