☕ The Saudi Coffee Lovers Community Charter

Welcome to the heart of the Kingdom’s coffee ritual. This forum is a sanctuary for those who find joy in the scent of a fresh roast and the art of the perfect pour. To keep our community vibrant and welcoming, we ask all members to follow these five core principles:

1. Kindness in Every Cup

We are a community of enthusiasts, from beginners to seasoned tasters.

• No Coffee Snobbery: Everyone starts somewhere. Whether someone enjoys a traditional Dallah or a complex V60, treat every question with respect.

• Constructive Vibes: Disagreeing on taste is natural, but personal attacks are not. Keep the conversation as smooth as a well-balanced latte.

2. Celebrate the Craft

This is the place to share your passion and discoveries.

• Show & Tell: Share your home brewing setups, your favorite local hidden gems, and your tasting notes.

• Help Others Grow: If you’ve mastered a technique (like the perfect milk foam or the right spice balance for Saudi coffee), share your secrets! We are all here to learn from one another.

3. Authenticity Over Advertisements

This is a space for genuine connection, not a billboard.

• No Spam: Please do not post unsolicited ads, discount codes, or "follow for follow" social media requests.

• Genuine Reviews: We love hearing about your favorite shops, but please keep reviews honest and unbiased. If you are affiliated with a brand, be transparent about it.

4. Respect the Barista & the Bean

Behind every cup is a lot of hard work.

• Constructive Feedback: If you had a bad experience at a cafe, share it constructively. We aim to support the local industry, not tear it down.

• Value the Source: Let’s honor the farmers and the heritage of Saudi coffee by being mindful of the effort that goes into every bean.

5. Culture & Language

• Bilingual Community: Feel free to express your love for coffee in Arabic or English. We celebrate the diversity of our local and global coffee culture.

• Respect the Kingdom: Ensure all discussions reflect the values and traditions of Saudi Arabia.
