[Sassy_Social_Share]Brad Pitt is the new coffee ambassador for De’ Longhi. Budge up, Clooney.
Expect to see Brad all over your feeds over the next few months as everyone raves about him as De’ Longhi’s new ambassador. It’s part of their global drive, and their shares shot up as a result.
It’s good to be a Knob (grinder)
The Knob Coffee Grinder is a coffee grinder, reinvented. It’s got no axle, so no wobbles. It’s been funded on Kickstarter in a few hours, check it out before it’s too late.
“We strived to create the best product without making any sacrifices on quality or sparing any expenses during the design process. The materials we use are industry-standard, lightweight in thickness, and premium in quality. Though it was tempting, we didn’t take risks on materials that would adversely affect product quality, producing all product parts with the highest quality food-grade materials.”
Meet the Poursteady, an automatic drip brewer
Hipster coffee shops automated: “Customers are usually willing to wait for a freshly brewed pour over, but they are seldom willing to wait for somebody else’s. With a pour over taking three to five minutes to brew, and Poursteady brewing three to five at a time, they can easily turnover one coffee per minute.”
Frozen Coffee? (the cold never bothered me anyway)
Cometeer makes frozen coffee pucks. They won the Best New Product award to the Boston SCA Exhibition last year for their cryogenically preserved coffee extract capsules. (this is what they do to dead bodies sometimes)
20 months and $50 million of funding later, they’re ready for production.
More frozen coffee? This time it’s called Freezus
This is actually old news, but we’ve only just heard about it. Toby’s Estate coffee has opened a can of worms by offering speciality coffee, specially for freezing. Read more about it here.
“The pressure to smash through your most special coffees whilst they’re fresh is no longer a thing.”
Coffee Flavoured Deodorant?
We’ve written about coffee breath before, and we wrote about it again. But this company in America has gone a step further and decided that what we need is coffee flavoured armpits. Yes, really.
“Thanks to four, new Coffee Haus-inspired fragrances, you can consider your morning ritual officially upgraded. Available in deodorant, plastic free deodorant, and body wash, the only thing left to percolate is which fragrant blend you’ll take a splash of every day. We’ll raise our mugs to that.”
The Hyperbite wants you to stop drinking coffee
“Every time a serious gym junkie heads to the gym, they need every ounce of energy that they can muster. Typically, this has left them with no option but to crack open a tacky energy drink, gulp down an acidic cup of coffee, or mix up a clumpy workout powder. This takes time, can make a mess, and can lead to far too much fluid consumption before an intense workout.”
How about you learn to make better coffee? Ever heard of espresso?
