Going out for coffee every day can be pricey, which is why we usually stick to making our own coffee at home. That's easy to do if you like simple, black coffee, but it can be trickier to pull it off if you like more flavor in your cup. You could spend hours trying to learn how to make viral TikTok coffee drinks, or you could just snag yourself a good creamer from the grocery store for instant flavor and creaminess in your cup.
The dripper, which officially launched at last weekend's World of Coffee Dubai trade show, is sold under the Precise brand and was developed by UAE champion barista Mariam Erin. Designed around what Brewing Gadgets calls "wet blending," the Binocular Dripper uses two tall, narrow brew cones, each at a 30-degree angle. Each side can be brewed independently with different coffees, doses and pour patterns, with the combined brew collected in the included server.
A small, stingless bee may be able to raise coffee yields while fitting into real-world pest control programs, according to a new study from Brazil. In a field study on full-sun arabica farms, researchers reported a 67% higher fruit yield on coffee branches closer to colonies of the native stingless bee Scaptotrigona depilis, compared with branches farther away. The study was recently published in Frontiers in Bee Science.
Great Value may be Walmart's generic brand, but its Chocolate Caramel creamer delivered such luscious texture and rich, concentrated flavor that the product sits on-par with other popular (often costlier) coffee creamer brands like Califia Farms and International Delight. On the Walmart website, a 32-fluid-ounce bottle currently costs $2.76. Meanwhile, name-brand competitors like Chobani's Caramel Macchiato-Flavored Creamer run for $6.24, and Starbucks' Caramel-Flavored Creamer costs $4.98 for a comparatively smaller 28-fluid-ounce bottle.
Despite the fact that I do it every day, I don't really like grinding coffee. It's loud, it's messy, and even though it's absolutely just as important as whatever brewing ritual I choose to engage in on any particular morning, I find the whole rigmarole a little annoying. Unfortunately for me, a well-measured, freshly ground dose of beans is the difference between something delicious and something that tastes like airplane coffee.
Pack mules aren't something you might immediately associate with the state of Idaho, but the area actually has a strong history with pack trains, which were often utilized to bring supplies to rural mountainous areas. In fact, the Forest Service still uses mules to access Idaho's backcountry today. There's even a very successful local coffee company named after the hardworking animals - and it wouldn't have even gotten its start without them.
Café Bustelo is a longstanding favorite in the Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican communities as its original brew's exceedingly strong, espresso-style dark roast caters beautifully to Latino coffee tastes. However, over its nearly century-long lifespan to date, Café Bustelo has come to encompass a diverse array of different roasts that are now a staple in households nationwide. Tasting Table tried and ranked 7 Café Bustelo ground coffee varieties based on uniqueness and flavor, and the best Café Bustelo variety, according to our taste test, is the medium roast.
... Kauai Coffee is a fully integrated premium specialty coffee company. What that means is that we grow the coffee and put it all the way to the bag, all here on the island of Kauai. To do that, we have about 4 million coffee trees, and we farm about 3,000 acres. We harvest anywhere from 10 to 12 million pounds of cherry coffee, which needs to be processed into about a million to 2 million pounds of green coffee.

A stylish new cycling-themed coffee shop is now open at the Rosewood Sand Hill hotel in Menlo Park. Bici Coffee began its soft opening Jan. 5, and is serving up coffee and espresso drinks, an array of pastries sourced from Manresa Bread, plus fresh juices, salads and sandwiches. You'll find it through a separate door to the right of the main hotel entrance.
Regardless of whether you're already planning the next date in your head or plan on never calling her again, brewing a cup of coffee is one of those small gestures of kindness you should extend to everyone. (If I have to make the trek back home in last night's dress, the least you can do is offer me a cup of joe.) Bonus points if you have a dedicated, well-honed coffee routine.
Nutpods is a popular brand of non-dairy coffee creamer that can be found in most major grocery stores. The brand has a variety of flavors available, and I decided to grab as many as I could for a taste test. To taste the creamers, I first sipped each of them on its own. I wanted to get a sense of the flavor completely on its own.
Whether you're making a latte at home because you want to save money, get creative, or just can't be bothered to leave the house, there's no denying that having the right ingredients makes all the difference. Coffee has a wide aroma spectrum, so, like alcoholic beverages, it's key to ensure that any flavors the coffee is served with are complementary. When I was a barista at Starbucks, most of the onboarding process involved learning about this concept.
XBREW Lab debuted its countertop nitro beverage machine, EverNitro, at CES this week, offering nitro coffee enthusiasts a more accessible way to enjoy the drink-without the waste and expense of traditional cartridge-based machines. If you're unfamiliar with nitro coffee, it's cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen gas. This process creates tiny bubbles, resulting in a silky-smooth, naturally sweeter taste-similar to drinking a Guinness. Many people also note that nitro coffee has less bitterness.
From Midwest-based franchises to beloved West Coast establishments, there are a handful of regional coffee chains that seem to be racing to open shops in as many areas as possible. Whether these franchises have been open for five years or 30 years, expansion has been top of mind for each one. Even if you aren't someone who frequents chain establishments of any sort, you'll likely find something to love about these brands, from their attention to customer experience to their high-quality beverages.
Protein drinks and coffees are all the rage these days, so Dunkin' decided to join in on the fun. Given that Dutch Bros has a range of protein coffees, and Starbucks has protein coffees and cold foams, it makes logical sense that Dunkin' would follow in their footsteps with its own range. The coffee chain joined the protein coffee competition with a new line of drinks released on January 7, 2026, and it's collaborating with Megan Thee Stallion for a couple Refreshers, too.
For me, cafes have long represented more than just necessary fuel to start the day. They are a place to relax, create, and connect, whether that be to yourself, the local environment, or friends. As a food scientist and professional baker who's worked as a barista, good coffee and pastries are also undoubtedly important - don't get me wrong. The best cafes not only invite you in; they invite you to stay.
First the influencers and manosphere loons added protein to ice cream, and I did not care because I rarely eat ice cream. Then they added it to popcorn, and I did not care because I rarely eat popcorn. Now they're adding it to coffee creamer, and I am forced to care because I am hopelessly addicted to coffee, caffeine, and anything even remotely gimmicky in this space.
Starbucks is everywhere, and whether you're a frequent customer or not, it can be well worth joining the chain's rewards program. Starbucks Rewards members can not only order ahead and pick up free birthday treats, but they can also earn Delta miles and rack up points in the form of stars. These stars can be redeemed against extra shots, drink upgrades, food, and even merch when you get to the lucrative 400 mark.
Billed as "The Botanist's Bodega," the bustling two-story in West Hollywood is a unique blend of coffee and plants. With Javista Coffee on the ground floor and a delightful array of plants, gifts and additional seating upstairs, the Atrium is a haven for plant enthusiasts and coffee lovers alike. In addition to coffee staples such as macchiato and espresso, the bodega offers some exotic beverages like the CBTea Latte.
Instead of treating great coffee as a weekend luxury, this little brewer integrates it into your everyday life. Plug it in beside your laptop, fill it with water and fresh grounds, and a few minutes later you have a dense, aromatic moka style coffee that feels closer to a ritual than a chore. This is also in part thanks to its avant-garde Alessi-esque Italian-design form factor. On the hardware front, you've got basic electronics
The maple miso latte ($5.50) blends a seasonal New England favorite with a bit of umami for a sip that's perfect for people who never want their dessert too sweet. Fuel up in the morning with the jam-packed Trapeze breakfast burrito ($13), a flour tortilla stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheddar, pork sausage, onion, shredded potato, and Cholula hot sauce. There's also a vegan version available.
