The Reddit exodus caused by this regrettable API policy change that kills 3rd party apps, has left many of us without the subs we grew to love. r/espresso is one of these subs for me, but it wasn’t on Lemmy. I created this community in the hopes that we’ll get a Lemmy c/espresso going strong.

I’ll get the ball rolling with a Moss Original haha. I haven’t been able to pull my morning shots the past few mornings, but I’ll either post tomorrow’s morning shot (hopefully) or my afternoon espresso macchiato.

Here’s for a new beginning to an old community!

    That’s for bringing a sub to life here. I hope we get a good community going. I love espresso but I am not very knowledgeable. Yet.

      It was one of the first communities I joined on Reddit, so, naturally, I needed it here, too haha

      I love espresso, too. Mmmmm Definitely not a Hoffmann, but I am gaining knowledge, a lot of which is due to the original sub. I’m hoping we can mktrortthe community knowledge here, too.

        Anything related to FOSS, Linux and Linux gaming, espresso (obviously), fountain pens, sim racing and dank memes. You?

          There was a sub for fountain pens??? All this time!

          FOSS, homelab and self hosting, networking, some programming subs, espresso (of course) and coffee, PineTime, calyxos, rpi, Linux, memes and wholesome memes, a couple others I can’t remember.

          Edit: the fountain pen part of the comment sounds sarcastic, but I was serious. I love fountain pens, and it didn’t even dawn on me to search for a sub. I would just search articles and images and YouTube videos on fountain pen reviews and the like.

    This looks tasty! I have to admit that I am not an espresso guy. I have had a few in my years but do not stalk Starbucks. Coffee black or with 2 creams and 2 sugars for me please. Although if I did have an espresso maker I probably would use it on the weekends.

      This picture is actually the r/espresso icon, and it indeed looks super tasty!

      Personally, I don’t actually like Starbucks. It tastes too burnt to me. I do see how people like it, though, so I’m definitely not hating. It’s just not for me. If I’m not drinking eapressos, I do black.

      I started with a Mr. Coffee espresso / cappuccino machine like, a decade ago. I got it as a gift and I only used it on the weekends. Then I was gifted a bag of Larry’s Beans coffee and realized that coffee is actually delicious on its own.

          I’d be interested to know what you think when you do try one!

          Honestly, though, it’s not for everyone, so don’t think you have to love them to be in this community <3
