Using a Keurig for tea is straightforward: place a tea bag in a cup, fill the water reservoir, and select the brew size. This method allows for quick boiling of water, making it a convenient option for tea drinkers.

Chobani's sweet-cream coffee creamer was my favorite, and I also enjoyed the ones from Trader Joe's and Too Good & Co. Horizon's creamer was tasty but a bit too pricey.

The project investigates how mechanical clarity, portability, and material durability can be integrated into a small-scale espresso device without relying on electronic systems. The machine operates through a fully manual lever mechanism powered entirely by human input. By eliminating electronics and automated controls, the design allows direct regulation of pressure and flow during extraction. This mechanical approach positions espresso preparation as a tactile process, in which brewing variables are adjusted through physical interaction rather than presets.

If you follow concept design on social media, there's a good chance you've already stumbled across Jane Morelli's work. She's the designer behind that Lacoste x Bialetti moka pot that went viral not too long ago, and now she's back with something that somehow manages to feel even more covetable. For the Year of the Horse, she has created a concept coffee set that imagines what a Hermès x Bialetti collaboration could look like, and the result is genuinely breathtaking.

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 moka pot was born in Italy in the 1930s, as a simple way to give people the ability to make cafe-quality coffee from the comfort of their own homes. Since then, a few superior moka pot models have stood the test of time, becoming the gold standard according to those who use them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Camp Coffee Shop offers a level of access and connection you just can't get at a big trade show. Instead of rushing between crowded booths and packed lectures, attendees spend real time working through their own business challenges with instructors and peers.

On my last trip, in Bologna, I found yet another way to enjoy Italian coffee (beyond ordering a doppio). One memorable café topped its coffees with fruit powder-infused whipped cream. They were listed under a section on the menu appropriately named "caffe della gioia" (yes, "joy coffee"). These joyful mugs are topped with a generous mountain of whipped cream that can be folded with fruit- or nut powders, like pomegranate, pistachio, orange, wild berries, and aniseed.
