Head over to Atlas Coffee Club right now and buy a gift certificate for a monthly coffee subscription. It’s available for 3 months, 6 months, or if you want to give your love 365 days worth of daily love reminders via their coffee cup, then spring for the 12-month option.

Co-founder Jordan Rosenacker says the subscription plan takes customers on a coffee journey and gives them a chance to see how unique and different coffee can taste. “For instance, this month our coffee is from Peru. It has pear and caramel flavor notes,” he said. “We don’t flavor the coffee.” Instead, they find exotic blends that, like wine, bring out distinct flavors.

The coffee bags feature local textiles and landscapes to further celebrate the region where the coffee came from. They don’t put any logo or branding on the front of the bag. They also include a card that provides facts about the coffee and the country of origination.

“What people like is the experience to try new coffees in a new way,” he said. “We do the curating and find out what’s best. It allows them to hop on board and see what’s out there.”

While a certain coffee variety may only be available once through a monthly shipment, the company does keep some core varieties for individual purchase on its website.

There are choices to make when you sign up for a subscription. You’ll choose whether to receive 1, 2 or 3 bags a coffee, whether to receive bi-monthly or monthly, roast type, and whole bean or ground. A three-month subscription is $59.95, six-month $108, and a full year for $199.

The secret to perfect summer salads? The right wine pairing
Pairing wine and salad
Barolo Grill salad.

As we substitute pants for swim trunks and IPAs for crisp refreshing lagers, it can only mean one thing: Summer is here. That transition extends to the table as well, where we opt for lighter foods like salads to greet the mild weather and take advantage of all the fresh produce available. But how do we make the very best of this kind of cuisine?

The right wine pairing, naturally. You might think any old pink or white wine will do but there's an art to the best couplings. Certain salad styles demand certain wine styles, and vice versa.

Do coffee pods expire? Here’s what the pros say
When to toss coffee pods from your pantry
coffee pods

The convenience of coffee pods is undeniable — with no dosing, scooping, or mess, coffee pods deliver a fast and easy way to get your caffeine fix without the hassle. Yet all coffee pods, from the Nespresso Vertuo pods to the standard K-Cups, contain regular ground coffee inside the casing (even though you can't see it). With that in mind, do coffee pods have an expiration date? I know I've wondered this question before, especially after pulling out bags of K-Cups from my pantry that've seemingly been there for ages. Let's break down the answers to everything you've wondered about "Do coffee pods expire?"
Do coffee pods expire?

Drew Pond, Co-Owner of Stone Creek Coffee, gives us the short answer we probably already knew: yes, coffee pods expire. "They're not Twinkies. Most are stamped with a “best by” date about 8 to 12 months out, but let’s be clear: that’s not a magic number. The flavor starts to fade way before that if you're not using the right pods or storing them correctly. Coffee is full of delicate oils, compounds, and aromatics that fade over time, especially in single-serve formats," he says.

The California craft leaders on sustainability
Sierra Nevada Hop Forward Ale.

Sustainability can mean a lot of things, as the term is thrown around pretty liberally at the moment. From the craft beer sector to fashion, businesses are getting in on the practice. But in a world where greenwashing is now prevalent, it's important to separate the pretenders from those really doing the work.

Sierra Nevada is a leading force in this regard. The West Coast brewery just released a report outlining its ongoing sustainability initiatives. It includes some impressive objectives that the brand hopes to lock down by 2030.
