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: 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.” !
- “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!
