Joe Jonas names his favorite coffee maker—The AeroPress Clear Purple

From tour bus to backstage: The AeroPress that fuels Joe Jonas

The AeroPress, the iconic portable coffee maker, has been a coffee fan-favorite for years — beloved for its fast, clean, barista-level brewing (in under one minute). This holiday season, celebrity Joe Jonas has shared his favorite model with fans who want to follow along to brew cafe-style coffee at home: The AeroPress Clear Purple. On sale now for 20% off until December 21, Joe Jonas shares below why this AeroPress model is his personal favorite:

“I’ve always loved coffee, so being stuck with hotel pod coffee on tour was…bleak. Every cup tasted like burnt sadness. Then, AeroPress entered my life like a caffeinated guardian angel and saved my mornings. Now I travel with one everywhere; on the tour bus, backstage,and in hotels. If there’s hot water and a table, I’m making coffee. AeroPress finally gave me great coffee anywhere and freed me from the Dark Pod Era.” – Joe Jonas

Jonas has also recently shared his passion for great coffee and the AeroPress on Instagram. As a celeb, Joe Jonas is always on the road, taking his AeroPress with him to ensure he can enjoy great coffee wherever he travels (even in hotel rooms). The AeroPress Clear Purple brews espresso-style drinks, cold brew, lattes, and traditional American coffee—not espresso coffee! From the tour bus to backstage, Jonas appreciates a deliciously brewed cup of coffee (made with his favorite single-origin beans), fueling him for every show and performance. In addition to the purple model, the AeroPress Clear brewer comes in other colors, including blue, green, pink, and more.

Glenglassaugh adds a 15-year-old to its permanent coastal single malt range
The Highland distillery's new core expression spends 15 years in Pedro Ximénez sherry and Spanish wine casks.

When a Scotch company adds a new permanent bottling, that's news. When that same distillery is Glenglassaugh, which has some of the most interesting history in all of Scotch whisky, that's something to really pay attention to.

Their latest is a 15-year-old single malt, joining the flagship 12 Year Old as the second age-statement bottle in the coastal Highland distillery's core range.

These are my favorite beers from Vermont that you should give a try
Vermont is home to more than Ben & Jerry
Lawson's Finest

There are about 9,000 breweries in the US. While places like California, Maine, Colorado, and Oregon are famous for beer, no state is more saturated with IPAs, lagers, and stouts than Vermont.

If you didn’t know it, Vermont is much more than the state that brought us Ben & Jerry. The New England state is arguably America’s beer capital. While it doesn’t have the population of some of the other beer centers, it’s number one per capita, with more than 74 breweries. That’s between 14.5 and 15 breweries per 100,000 people. This includes iconic breweries like The Alchemist, Foam, Lawson’s Finest Liquids, Zero Gravity, and the renowned Hill Farmstead Brewery.

The Best Restaurant in New York for Catching Up with an Old Friend
Date restaurants have one set of criteria; restaurants for catching up with your buddies have another.
Food, Food Presentation, Plate

Finding a restaurant in New York City for a proper catch-up with a buddy is deceptively tricky. When I was single, I kept a tried-and-true roster of date restaurants. The criteria were straightforward enough: soft lighting, ideally the glow of candlelight; a serene ambience, perhaps with a little jazz; and plush, private seating for lingering conversation—or a smooch after dessert.

But what about dinner with my cousin Billy? I was less than eager to spend the evening feeling like I was on a Hinge date with him—a sentiment I suspect was mutual. Sure, I could have picked a dive bar, but we're both in our mid-thirties now and striving to feign respectability. Besides, Bill draws a fat salary at Amazon, and I knew he'd feel obliged to pick up the tab for his freelance writer cousin. Why squander such generosity on chicken wings and Guinness?
