Java Lovers Can Now Sleep in Coffee-Infused Bedding from Ettitude

Wake up and smell the coffee… almost literally in Ettitude’s new coffee-infused bedding.

Java connoisseurs can take their passion for the brew to new (and surprisingly comfortable) levels now that Ettitude— an Australian sustainable home-ware label— is infusing its signature Bamboo Lyocell fabric with repurposed coffee grounds.

The mixture of bamboo with coffee creates a bedding that is super soft, 50% more moisture wicking than cotton, hypoallergenic, and highly odor diffusing (without actually smelling like coffee).

Coffee’s natural odor-killing properties promise to diminish the smell of, well, spending about eight hours a night in the same place. This trend of infusing fabric with coffee isn’t new, in fact it’s building speed— especially in the cycling apparel category where underground brands like Death Wish Coffee and OORR are looking to the Joe for an odor-reducing edge.

You might not be sweating as much in bed as you would on a bike, but Ettitude’s Coffee Bedding Collection (AU $135 Basic King Sheet Set) will still help stave off the night sweats or say, NYC summer heatwaves. This moisture-wicking magic is courtesy the bamboo fibers. Seriously, if you haven’t tried bamboo sheets you need to upgrade now.

And less sweat in bed means cleaner sheets for longer… which means doing less loads of laundry and still having a bed you wouldn’t be embarrassed inviting someone into. (My bed is made of coffee might be the best pickup line you’ve ever used also.)

Ettitude’s Coffee Bedding Collection is available for pre-sale on Kickstarter— the same platform the brand saw success with in marketing Bamboo Charcoal Bedding.

Noticing a natural trend?

In the honorable pursuit to create bedding that is deserving of all the time you spend in it (we spend roughly a third of our lives in bed), Ettitude is approaching the challenge with a natural and sustainable mindset. All their products are made with 100% organic Bamboo Lyocell in a closed-loop system that recycles and reuses water to minimize waste.

In contrast, cotton bedding— the most popular bedding fabric—  has a production is labor-intensive and involves a lot of chemicals and fresh water. Not only is the bamboo industry more sustainable, but the fiber yield per acre from bamboo can be up to 10 times higher than cotton, while requiring less than 1/10 of the water.

Yes, you should sleep better knowing your sheets are more sustainable for the planet, but you’ll also wake up looking better in Ettitude’s Coffee Bedding.

Since bamboo fibers have a silky-smooth texture, both your skin and hair won’t get irritated by a night of tossing and turning. Nobody likes walking into the office with sheet wrinkles across their face.

So mature your sleeping (and waking) game with sustainable, antimicrobial sheets made with coffee. The next step is removing those horrible college posters… but baby steps.

Everything points to Apple TV+ making a change you’re not going to like
Is an ad-supported tier coming to Apple TV+?

It turns out that TV worked pretty well under its old model. According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple TV+ may be the latest streaming service that's set to introduce an ad-supported tier and charge those who don't stream with ads a premium fee to access their great shows and movies.

At this point, the report is still speculation, but Apple has made several recent hires in the advertising space that seem to suggest the direction they're planning to take. The company recently hired former NBCUniversal ad executive Joseph Cady to serve as executive vice president of advanced advertising and partnerships, a move that comes following the company's hiring of another former NBCUniversal executive, Jason Frum, who joined Apple's video ad sales team.

From Gilda Radner to Ali Wong, these are the best female comedians of all time
These women from all generations will make you laugh out loud
Ai Wong comedian 2017 Moontower comedy festival

Hot take: I don’t care for straight male comedians. It’s not that they’re not funny, they’re just … I don’t know, boring? Maybe that’s reductive of me, but I never seem to leave a straight male comedian’s set feeling particularly inspired. And though some may argue that it’s not important for a set to "inspire" its audience, I’d actually argue that the opposite is true. For me, I want to see a comedian use humor to address real issues and say real things about the world, even if they do it in a completely goofy way.

Therefore, I tend to prefer female and female-identified comedians. They’re sharp, tough, and have often seen shit that makes their comedy feel raw and true. Undoubtedly there are male comedians who do this, too, but to a much lesser degree, in my very humble and very personal opinion.

12 classic sci-fi books everyone should read
If you love science fiction and reading, these classic sci-fi novels are a must
Man reading a book and drinking coffee

It may feel like we were recently living in a science-fiction dystopia life -- and in some ways, we were -- but that doesn't mean that we should simply avoid an entire genre of writing. Hardly. In fact, this is probably the perfect time to explore classic sci-fi books, to see what the masters have written, and maybe even see if someone predicted anything like this. Many, though, simply ignore sci-fi wholly and completely because of an association with robots, aliens, and the like.

Long story short, if you think you don't like sci-fi, you have never read great books from the genre. But indeed, many such books abound, including a number that has delighted generations of readers going back well over 150 years. In fact, one of the best things about so many sci-fi books is their very timelessness. As by definition, this type of fiction breaks away from the norms of the everyday world -- whether slightly twisting things or taking place on entire other worlds -- the stories often feel as fresh and relevant today as when they were published decades ago.
