The iconic portable coffee maker, AeroPress, is commemorating two decades since its groundbreaking 3-in-1 coffee press first debuted with the release of the two new premium designs. This launch comes just in time for National Coffee Day, adding the AeroPress Premium Black and White editions to expand the brand’s most elevated product line.

The coffee press is hand-crafted from double-wall glass and metal with subtle laser-etched branding, featuring a design that combines aesthetics and optimal functionality. Each AeroPress features the brand’s patented 3-in-1 brew technology, delivering a smooth brew like a pour over, with the richness of espresso in just under two minutes. Invented by engineer Alan Adler, the AeroPress remains a fan favorite today for those who love a smooth, flavorful, and fast cup of coffee.

“Around the world, coffee lovers are demanding products that deliver both function and design,” said Gerard Meyer, CEO of AeroPress. “Our Premium editions answer that call, uniting hand-crafted glass and metal design with the performance AeroPress is known for. We’ve seen Premium sell out repeatedly — including within 24 hours of last year’s National Coffee Day — and we expect fans to once again embrace these new editions.”

Beginning today, September 28, the Premium Black and Premium White editions are available in the U.S. and Canada exclusively online from AeroPress or through Williams Sonoma online. Even better, AeroPress is kicking off National Coffee Day and celebrating its 20th Anniversary, with a two-day promotion on September 28–29, offering 10% off the regular price ($199.95 USD) across all Premium colorways, including the new Black and White as well as the previously released Silver edition.

Ascênda is the tequila brand that’s betting on transparency, not celebrities

How Ascênda's founders built a premium sipping tequila and a clean canned drink from the same tequila, and why that should matter

Flare, Light, Agavaceae

Walk down the canned-cocktail aisle at just about any grocery or liquor store right now and the amount of new drinks popping up is pretty mind-blowing. The ready-to-drink (RTD) category has exploded over the last few years, and tequila sodas in particular have become the default for a younger generation that wants something lower in calories, and with cleaner ingredients. But there's an uncomfortable secret behind a lot of those shiny cans. The words “made with real tequila” often mean almost nothing. In many cases, only 51% of the alcohol inside is actually tequila; the rest could be other types of alcohol and additives you wouldn’t expect. This has been the game plan manufacturers have used for decades, and the plan Ascênda was created to close.

Ascênda, whose name means “to rise,” is the work of two founders, Mark Bland and Nicholas Soglanich (Nic), who looked at that crowded shelf and saw an opportunity rather than another trend to chase. Their pitch is refreshingly simple: a ready-to-drink tequila soda made with tequila good enough to sip on its own, and water good enough to sell on its own at any Whole Foods or high-end grocery store. No malt liquor (yes, really), sugar, and no artificial flavors, no mystery. You get 100% blue agave tequila, sparkling high-pH water sourced from the highlands of Jalisco, and a deliberate blend of electrolytes, magnesium, potassium, and sodium that the founders chose because they're the same minerals a lot of us already reach for during the day.

Dinner at Benoit is like a Graduate Course on Classical French Cusine

At Alain Ducasse's Benoit, a century of Parisian tradition lives on in Midtown Manhattan.

Food, Food Presentation, Meal

Classical French cuisine is the culinary equivalent of the Western canon: an ancient and ever-fertile tradition that shaped—and continues to shape—everything that came later. Just as old books provide a deeper understanding of modern civilization, old-guard French restaurants deepen one's understanding of modern gastronomy.

Benoit, a bistro in Midtown Manhattan, is like a graduate seminar on the history of French cooking. The original Benoit has been a Parisian landmark since 1912, one of the French capital's most venerated bistros de tradition. After stewarding the restaurant for generations, the Petit family entrusted it to chef Alain Ducasse in 2005. Since then, Ducasse has opened sister restaurants in Tokyo, New York, and Kyoto.
