"From the beginning of the Sivetz relaunch, the plan has been to bring electric fluid-bed roasters back into the lineup. We have been aware of Corwin Peachey's work for some time, and as we moved forward with that plan, the alignment became clear through a shared approach to fluid-bed roasting and engineering."

Coffee byproducts offer a promising, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative for improving the functional and ecological performance of bio/edible films. These agro-industrial residues exhibit a richness in biofunctional compounds such as polyphenols, caffeine and dietary fibers, which contribute significant antioxidant, antimicrobial and UV-barrier properties, making them ideal candidates for applications in active food packaging.
Where larger, electric espresso machines generate the pressure and heat needed for espresso inside their massive housings, the Flair takes a different approach. A large lever sits atop a small stack of brewing equipment, and you use that lever to create the bars of pressure necessary to get espresso. There's a chamber for your grounds and another atop it for hot water.
Toast said the analysis is based on same-store restaurant sales from January 2024 through December 2025 across a cohort on its platform, which served about 164,000 locations as of Dec. 31, 2025. The biggest declines through 2025 were found in green tea (-4.9%), black tea (-3.4%), hot drip coffee (-3.3%) and regular soda (-2.3%).
The UN General Assembly adopted the resolution March 10, while inviting the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to help facilitate the annual observance in collaboration with relevant organizations, particularly the International Coffee Organization (ICO).
A good cup of coffee (decaf included) delivers on all fronts: Flavor, acidity, body, sweetness, and balance, aka The Pleasure Principle. The infamously-snobbish coffee élite might maintain that decaf drinkers aren't "real coffee fans." But, as a veteran barista, I would argue that the opposite is actually true: Only the most diehard bean-heads tread decaf domain.
We did our best to maximize the efficiency of the menu and the equipment to keep wait times down. We have also planned ahead with some extra power outlets if we really end up doing next level volume that warrants adding additional equipment in the future.
My denomination is good, old-fashioned drip coffee. That's what I drink first thing, before I even think about crafting a shot of espresso. I'm WIRED's lead coffee writer and I've developed a deep fondness for coffee's many variations, from espresso to Aeropress to cold brew. But "coffee" to me, in my deepest soul, still means a steaming mug of unadulterated drip.
Whether you prefer a classic flavor like caramel or want something a bit more unique like French toast, we tried to cover the gamut of flavors. We ranked each latte based on how accurate the flavor was to its description and its overall sweetness level (meaning, was it a pure sugar bomb or was espresso the only flavor present? - balance is key) to crown the best of the best.
Coffee brimming with lemon myrtle cream. Matcha banked with strawberry-lychee foam. Cold brew with choc-orange froth thick enough to stuff a pillow. Every caffeinated drink I've ordered in Sydney recently has the appearance of a generously frosted cake. It's a trend you'll see or sip across Australia, from Toasted Carine's iced latte with maple cold foam in Perth to Le Bajo's chilled oolong tea with raspberry cream in Melbourne.
First and foremost, that small hole allows steam to escape. If a lid is fully sealed right after the cup is filled, steam can gather inside. Under the right conditions, that could build enough pressure to pop the lid off and result in a nasty burn. Letting a tiny bit of steam escape instead makes that pressure build up less likely to happen.
