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.

Tony Soprano vs. Walter White: Who is the ultimate antihero?
TV's biggest heavyweights duke it out for the antihero crown
Breaking bad season 4 screen shot

Sports fans often debate between two heavyweight legends. For basketball, it's LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Switching to tennis, you have Roger Federer fans and Rafael Nadal diehards. Debates like these are ingrained in the culture of athletics, but TV fans have their own version of this sparring match.

Tony Soprano from The Sopranos and Walter White from Breaking Bad are the two characters who still send shockwaves through every drama in the 21st century. These men were the perfect mix of good and evil. They navigated family life and the criminal underworld with cunning intelligence and ruthless risk-taking. Every show with morally gray characters at the center owes its storyboard to Walter and Tony, but which character deserves the antihero crown? This is Tony Soprano vs. Walter White for all the marbles.
Who was the more complex character?

Learn how to smoke a pipe the proper way with our guide for beginners
Let us show you the classy way to smoke a pipe
Packing a pipe

Pipe smoking is the most aesthetically distinguished way to enjoy tobacco, but you lose the classy effect if you don’t know how to smoke a pipe properly. Smoking a pipe has become a lost art, and these days, most people who engage in pipe smoking do so to achieve a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps your grandfather enjoyed a puff now and again paired with a good stiff whiskey, or maybe your goal is to emulate a pipe-smoking artist.

I know that I enjoy a good puff on a pipe now and then, and knowing the right way to enjoy a pipe has made the experience much more pleasurable for for me. Whatever the case, if you intend to take up the time-honored tradition of unwinding with a pipe like me, you should learn how to smoke a pipe the right way. And smoking a pipe is very different than smoking a cigar (except you shouldn't be inhaling either).

Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.
