Brian, it's neat that you do the coffee outside group in your area. Here in Indianapolis, our coffee outside died of COVID. I've been toying with the idea of trying to resuscitate it. I have a couple of questions for you, and maybe we should move to DM, but how often do you guys meet, and do you have a recommendation for getting the word out? I'd guess Instagram and maybe post a couple of flyers at bike shops.
V60 pour over at home, Fellow grinder. Trash drip machine at work. We get our beans through a cool local business called Indy Coffee Box that sources beans from local roasters in the state of IN and drops them at our door for a nice price. It's a cool business idea that both fills a need and supports other local businesses. Indy isn't a coffee meca but there are some pretty great roasters. Helm, Blue Mind, Julian, Tinker, Shuv, and so on. We get two bags per month via coffee box but usually go through about 3, so there is room to ride my bike to a coffee shop and pick something up in person as well.
