The leaves have already started changing!
There are different versions of whipped coffees around the world, and Dalgona is one of the easiest to create. However, it can be time-consuming; if you don't have an electric mixer, you could end up beating the mixture for 15 minutes. But if you make a big batch at the start of the week, you can freeze it and simply scoop the mixture on top of the milk or water when ready to serve.
In the US, coffee is fuel. We take it everywhere in comically large Stanley cups, balanced precariously from the almost big-enough car cup holders, and carry it into meetings, soccer practices, and PTA fundraisers. It's a lifestyle accessory as much as a drink. Step outside America, though, and you'll notice how out of step that habit looks. Coffee abroad is often about slowing down, not speeding up.
I spent 10 years working for Chase Bank, building a career in corporate banking. It was steady, professional, and came with a clear path forward. But when a prime lot went up for sale in my small hometown of Damascus, Oregon, I saw an opportunity that banking couldn't give me. The property sat right along a major highway that had no drive-thru coffee stands nearby.
Published Aug. 13 in the journal Frontiers in Genetics, the study offers insight into the genetic makeup of the species, providing potential pathways for breeders to develop commercially viable stenophylla cultivars that may have higher tolerance to heat while offering desirable characteristics in the cup. Building upon the pioneering work over the past seven years from researchers affiliated with UK's Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, the new study comes from the Sierra Leone Agricultural Research Institute (SLARI) with past funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Since its launch in 1961, Coffee Mate has been a fixture in home kitchens, office pantries, and supermarket aisles - the go-to shortcut for a smooth, sweet cup of coffee. For some, it's so woven into the daily ritual that it feels almost synonymous with coffee itself (unless you're a third-wave purist, for whom it symbolizes everything wrong with commercialized coffee culture).
I was hooked on joe by 12 th grade. I got to drive my stepdad's '66 Ranchero to school that year (liberation!) and each morning scrambled out the front door, juggling a steamy mug of black brew, a stack of books, and escaping papers. In college, late nights found me clicking my electric Corona typewriter, a Marlboro cigarette in an ashtray, and a double-fist-sized mocha, full then empty. I could drink another one an hour before bed and still fall asleep.
Black coffee: Is it good for health? The benefits of drinking black coffee go far beyond its ability to wake you up. A recent study involving more than 46,000 U.S. adults found that those who drank one to three cups a day had a 14-17% lower risk of early death, particularly from heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.
There are a lot of fall spices you can add to coffee to give it a seasonal kick, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, and ginger. And you can even find inspiration from fall-flavored treats if you don't want pumpkin-spiced. Notes of apple, maple, caramel, butter pecan, and others could be delicious options. So, I picked out some secret menu selections as well as some other customizable options to add to your drink rotation this chilly season.
The campaign stems from Donald Trump's tariff announcements in April, after which U.S. Customs and Border Protection posted a notice exempting computers and smartphones from import duties. On the company's UK product page, the Rivelia machine now appears in two versions: the De'Longhi Machine at £749.99, and the De'Longhi Computer at £637.49. That price difference reflects the 15% tariff on UK goods imported to the U.S.
I'll be the first to admit flavored coffees are not a part of my morning. And if I do decide to indulge in a such a cup, I want it sugary sweet and brimming with delightful flavor. Generally, it will be an afternoon pick-me-up that I share with friends. And that is what I kept in mind when I began tasting these World Market flavored coffees.
Starbucks is rolling out a protein-rich product line starting Sept. 29. Its new protein cold foam and protein lattes aim to capitalize on the growing cohort of health-conscious consumers, from Gen Z TikTokers to GLP1 users, experts tell Fortune. The products also may substitute a viral trend that had customers act as their own mixologists in the coffee chain's drive thru.
Coffee gets paired up with flavors of all kinds vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate and each one coaxes something new out of your morning brew. But there's a fresh pairing you might have seen bubbling up on TikTok: banana. Yeah. Banana in your coffee. It's not as strange as you might think. I spent most of the summer swimming in banana lattes, affogatos, and cold brews, and now I'm a believer.
Ready to sip on something cool and trendy? The Gluten-Free Strawberry Cold Foam Iced Coffee recipe is our take on the Starbucks sensation, but with a fun, boozy twist thanks to Mozart Strawberry White Chocolate Liqueur. This refreshing drink, perfect for warm days or brunch vibes, is gluten-free, egg-free, nut-free, and soy-free, and it comes together in just 5 minutes. Since strawberry cold foam is all the rage at Starbucks, we decided to create our own version with a grown-up kick.
Purchasing an espresso machine is not unlike entering a different world. The gleaming, chrome giants at the counter are the standard, but when you look up the prices, it's enough to close the browser and settle for drip coffee doohickey. That's when the used market is a lifesaver. Buying used isn't just more generous on your wallet, it opens the door to equipment that was constructed with care and longevity that frequently surpasses what's available brand spanking new today.
Time was, in those forgotten years called the "late '90s," espresso only meant dark roast. And "espresso roast" meant oily-dark beans. At least that's what they still write on Starbucks bags. But then came the third-wave coffee revolution of the early noughties, dedicated to the proposition that all beans aren't created equal. A new generation of coffee roasters and baristas began to question the notion that coffee beans should be roasted into submission, preferring to highlight agricultural origins and fruity aromas by roasting lighter. Often much, much lighter.
The annual Grounds for Health green coffee and equipment auction returns Thursday, Sept. 18, giving roasters an opportunity to buy special, traceable coffees while supporting the noble cause of women's health. With 100% of proceeds going to United States-based nonprofit Grounds for Health's programs - which includes cervical cancer screening and prevention in coffee-growing communities - the auction program has raised more than $1 million since 2009.
It's beloved by shoppers for being certified organic, natural, and responsibly sourced, and their line of coffee beans is no different. Tasting Table tried and ranked seven different Whole Foods 365 brand coffees to figure out which bags to buy and which to avoid. According to our taste test, Pleasant Morning Buzz should stay on the shelf. We based our ranking off taste and aroma, and this variety notably started off with a promisingly toasty fragrance.
Milk choice has come a long way since the olden times of "third place" cafes, when maybe the most progressive shop in the neighborhood would carry soy milk alongside the gallon jugs of fully hormonized cow's milk. Despite the subsequent boom in alternative milks, relatively little academic research has detailed the sensory and chemical differences in alt milk types when combined with coffee.
Compatible with bag-in-box (BiB) and other common concentrate containers, the Brix's simple system features three points of input, two knobs and two outputs. The inlets on the Brix are for nitrogen gas, chilled coffee concentrate and chilled potable water. The two small central knobs adjust the water-to-concentrate ratio and the infusion level, respectively. Its outputs send ready-to-drink still or nitro-infused coffee to separate stout faucet taps.
Eventually, the three men decided to launch a coffee business, opening the first Starbucks store near Seattle's Pike Place Market in March of 1971 - long before the company became associated with chain stores or espresso drinks - selling coffee beans and equipment. "Gordon was beyond creative, he was an original, someone who had an innate sense of what was coming next," Baldwin told Daily Coffee News this week. "His instinct produced both what he might like to see as well as what others would value - like good beer and good coffee."
A review of scientific literature by a team in South Korea reinforces the assumption that drinking coffee significantly reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Published June 10 in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, the study specifically explored how bioactive compounds found in coffee may diminish diabetes risk. The research team from Pukyong National University and Kyungpook National University in South Korea looked at scores of cohort studies conducted over the past several decades to determine if and how these chemical compounds - and not merely lifestyle factors, such as exercise - may affect diabetes incidence.
