☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

Attempting to ask similar question:
I do cold brew but haven't found a grinder that give a consistent grind that's coarse enough.
My current method is to grind as coarse as I can, and then run through a fine mesh sieve. Even then, I end up with a good amount of grounds making it through the mesh container I use for soaking.
Is there a go-to grinder people like for cold brewing?
Have you tried grinding at a medium grind instead of coarse? There was a video posted here of someone that did a test between grinds and found that the medium grind had the best results. You could try a small batch and see how it goes. Also, instead of sieving before steeping, try running it through a filter after steeping. You could get a cheap pourover to run it through. Alternatively, look on Amazon for filter fabric that's down to like 2 microns or less like these - https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Micron-Filter-Short-Socks/dp/B09SY6DKD8
