Summer is coming — and there’s nothing better than sipping on a fresh cold brew coffee in the heat. Now, cold brew coffee lovers can get their hands on a simpler way to brew cold brew coffee at home with Brezi. Brezi is the world’s first automated cold brew coffee machine that doesn’t require coffee pods. Beginning with a hot bloom, followed by cold drip brew cycles — tailoring acidity, complexity, and sweetness for a crisp, refreshing cold coffee ready for drink. By eliminating the need for specialized coffee pods, coffee drinkers can select their own favorite roast to brew customized cold brew at home (or even make cold brew concentrate, slow drip, or tea, too).

Now available for pre-orders and priced at $399, Brezi uses an advanced hybrid extraction method to yield better-tasting cold brew coffee. A brief ~158°F bloom releases CO₂ and aromatics ensue, followed by controlled cold extraction. With an adjustable 41°F–158°F range, Brezi marks a new technology being used in the world of cold brew extraction, allowing delicate aromatics to remain while limiting bitterness.

The counter-top cold brew machine also features a sleek, industrial design that blends effortlessly with any kitchen. By using applies temperature throughout the process, like sous vide for coffee, home coffee baristas can brew cold brew in just five minutes to yield a more consistent bloom, optimal saturation, and a more predictable, repeatable cup.

Gins so good you’ll want to drink them neat
You might want to at least sip these gins before mixing with them
Tanqueray No 10

Gin is one of the only spirits that you see on a shelf, and regardless of the quality, you assume you’re going to take it home and mix it with other ingredients to make a cocktail. To many, the thought of drinking gin neat never even occurs to them. Even if they enjoy the juniper, floral, and botanical aromas and flavors of their favorite gin, they still prefer to mix it with other ingredients to make it more palatable.

But it also shouldn’t surprise you that some people enjoy drinking their gin neat or at least prefer a gin that they could drink neat if they chose to do so. Personally, I am one of those people. I enjoy gin so much that I try my best not to mask its flavors with overpowering ingredients. Sure, I like a good Gin & Tonic from time to time. But it’s definitely going to be heavier on gin than tonic if you know what I mean.

Sagamore Whiskey doubles down on Maryland roots with two new releases
Sagamore Whiskey is dropping two new expressions: one national high-rye bourbon, and one for America's 250th birthday.
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Long before Kentucky bourbon took over the American whiskey conversation, Maryland was distilling quality juice: rye whiskey. The folks at Sagamore Whiskey have spent years trying to bring that legacy back, and this month it's making the case twice.

First off, the Baltimore-based company (which you may remember as Sagamore Spirit) is dropping a wide-release: Sagamore High Rye Straight Bourbon goes national July 1 at an SRP of $50.
