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.
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.” !
  • “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.
4. Education that feels like adventure
  • Mini-courses (like “how to make epic coffee at home”).
  • Spotlight posts on regions/roasters.
  • Infographics on origins, altitudes, flavour profiles
  • Webinars to keep people connected. (morning coffee webinars?)
5. Live & social connections
  • Group calls (like in the early days: roasters, home brewers, café owners).
  • Live streams from busy shops for “bants.”
  • Q&A’s and playful interviews with roasters, owners, and enthusiasts.
  • Opportunities for members to host or co-create content.
Always open for other new ideas, just post them here or DM me.
Next step - I’ll kick off with a couple of engagement posts and a fun challenge this week, and we’ll test what gets the most response. Please jump in, comment, and support so we can build momentum.
This community isn’t just about coffee - it’s about connection, curiosity, and creativity.
And together, we'll make it thrive!
