Community Spotlight: Show Us Your Setup (Brew Stations, Rituals, and Real Humans)

Coffee tastes better when humans share it. We love seeing your brew stations, morning light, road mugs, and tiny wins. This post shows what we feature, how to join in, and a few tips that make your photos and videos shine.

What we love to feature

  • Calm morning counters and clean setups
  • Pour-over moments and espresso shots
  • Latte art attempts (wins and fails)
  • Travel brews, office mugs, camp coffee
  • Before/after: dial-in notes, first sip reactions

How to participate

  1. Brew your favorite persona coffee.
  2. Snap a photo or short video. See the tips below.
  3. Post on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts.

  5. Add the persona name in your caption so we can shout it out.

Note: We always send a quick DM to confirm permission before we feature you on our site or email.

Simple photo/video tips

  • Light: face a window. Turn off harsh overheads.
  • Background: clear the counter. Keep it clean and calm.
  • Angles: top-down for flat lays, 45° for pour-over, straight-on for espresso.
  • Color: neutral towels or boards make the cup pop.
  • Focus: tap to focus on the stream or cup rim. Hold still for one extra beat.
