Balmuda Moon Kettle — Balmuda / Balmuda

BALMUDA, a Japanese technology brand known for its sleek design and cutting-edge technology, has launched an exciting new product for coffee and tea lovers. Available starting tomorrow, March 6th, the MoonKettle draws inspiration from centuries-old traditions in Chinese and Japanese tea culture. This innovative product reimagines the traditional tea or coffee kettle, designed with upgraded, modern features tailored to the needs of today’s consumers. The concept and inspiration for the MoonKettle is rooted in “yao guan”, an ancient Chinese kettle initially used to boil herbal medicines. Over time, yao guan evolved into a tool for boiling water – something that also holds deep cultural significance in Japan.

The MoonKettle has various features designed to enhance your tea and coffee-making experience. For example, it has a fixed handle that ensures a stable, controlled pour from any angle. Adjustable temperature settings (122–212°F) allow you to quickly brew the perfect tea or coffee, while the kettle retains heat for up to 30 minutes, so you never have to rush to enjoy your beverage. Each pot has a capacity of 5-6 cups of coffee or 3 cups of noodles. The MoonKettle will be available in black or white in two sleek and modern colors. Plus, the compact shape of the kettle makes a statement sitting atop your kitchen countertop or while in use.

Starbucks confirms Pumpkin Spice Latte return date and new fall menu

Mark your calendars for the unofficial start of fall

Pumpkin Spice Starbucks

The beloved Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte was first introduced more than 20 years ago, creating the phenomenon it remains today. Data shows that consumer interest in pumpkin spice started earlier this year, with an uptick in searches starting in mid-June vs mid-July 2024, per Google Trends. Today, Starbucks and pumpkin spice fans can take a mental break from the summer heat and mark their calendars for August 26 -- the unofficial start of fall.

Starting August 26, the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte, made with real pumpkin, will return at Starbucks coffeehouses. This year, other fall menu items will include the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte. Following the recent interest in the new Starbucks cortado, launched earlier this year, Starbucks will also launch a new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado alongside new Italian Sausage Egg Bites.
