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

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

By Emily Caldwell Published December 12, 2025

AeroPress Joe Jonas — AeroPress

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.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade

Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.

Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.

Alberta Wants to Become the Next Great Whisky Destination

The province has created a legally protected whisky designation and launched an ambitious trail to showcase its distilleries, terroir, and craft spirits.

Adult, Male, Man

Our friendly neighbors to the north have created a new category of legally protected whisky. Under the Alberta Whisky Act, whisky labeled "Alberta Whisky" must be mashed, fermented, distilled, aged, proofed, and bottled in the western Canadian province. Moreover, it must be made with Alberta water and a mash bill composed predominantly of Alberta-grown grain. The new designation aims to highlight the distinctiveness of Alberta's terroir and whisky-making traditions. The legislation also lays the foundation for the emerging Alberta Whisky Trail, spearheaded by Burwood Distillery.

While not as celebrated as Scotland or Kentucky, Alberta boasts a long and venerable whisky-making tradition. The high prairie, with its cold climate, pristine water, and fertile soil, is ideal for growing rye. Alberta Distillers, founded in 1946 and the oldest distillery in Western Canada, has long been a powerhouse contract producer—more or less Canada's answer to MGP. Now owned by Suntory Global Spirits, it has quietly supplied rye whisky to a host of Canadian and American brands. If you've sipped WhistlePig, Jefferson's, or Very Olde St. Nick, chances are you've tasted rye from Alberta.
