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 theyāre 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). - ā7-day Latte Art Challenge.ā @Claire Quinn ! - āGuess the Brewā (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.
