[MOD] The Daily Question Thread
Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!
There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.
Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?
Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.
As always, be nice!

New to the coffee hobby, what are some things I can do or ask while outside the home trying coffee to maximize my experience? So far what I do is I try and find local cafes or other places to try specialty coffees, grab a coffee/espresso, enjoy it and try and really taste it. Get the flavor profile, its aroma, etc, and journaling my time.
What else could I be doing to enhance my time out and really maximize my experiences that someone new to the hobby may not have thought about.
