Just in time to celebrate International Coffee Day, October 1st, eco-friendly single-serve coffee pod maker Bruvi has announced a new release of coffee pods. Partnering with LAMILL, a regional specialty roaster born in 1997, this mash-up means Bruvi customers can now enjoy a Bliss espresso blend roast brewed from their Bruvi brewer. Bruvi brewers are unique in the industry, using their own pods which do not use paper. Using double filters instead of paper allows microgrids to pass through for full-bodied flavor and maintain optimal freshness for the perfect cup of coffee.

This announcement complements the already-existing LAMILL Black Onyx variety, a dark roast coffee with toasty, dark caramel flavor notes. As a roaster, the LAMILL brand is committed to enriching the daily lives of people and communities by curating unforgettable coffee experiences. LAMILL’s Bliss Espresso blend is available exclusively for the Bruvi single-serving brewing system. In a contemporary nod to traditional espresso, this blend combines caramelized sugar with understated fruity notes. Pods contain coffee sourced in Brazil, Guatemala, and Ethiopia.

Fans of LAMILL’s Bruvi single-serving pods can now order both varieties in bundles too. Plus, the  Bruvi and LAMILL collaboration is worth checking out this International Coffee Day to take steps to protect our environment. Each Bruvi pod has “guilt-free toss,, as pods can safely break down without causing harm to the environment.

Coffee, a daily ritual that feels essential, can sometimes work against your health goals, leading to jitters, digestive issues, and energy crashes. But Registered Dietitian Molly Kimball, RD, CSSD, says this doesn't have to be true and that coffee can, in fact, be good for you -- especially if you make the switch to functional coffee. Here's what she shared about drinking functional coffee and its benefits.

Starting today, Nespresso and Abel "The Weeknd" have teamed up to open a six-week vinyl pop-up at Nespresso's boutique. The SAMRA Origins Vinyl Café is an immersive pop-up listening cafe, inspired by Abel's Ethiopian heritage and the country’s significance as the birthplace of coffee — marking the latest chapter in their ongoing partnership. To celebrate this collaboration, Nespresso and The Weeknd have also released a limited-edition vinyl record pressed with Nespresso coffee grounds.

If you stop by the pop-up, guests can browse and listen to vinyl records handpicked by Abel, featuring a selection of music from Ethiopia and Africa. Of course, the listening would not be complete without a coffee in hand. Guests can sample custom coffee creations such as The Weeknd's Iced SAMRA Latte, made with oat milk, honey, and cinnamon, and also can explore Nespresso's new co-designed Vertuo POP+ espresso maker. The SoHo pop-up will remain open through mid-October, offering an interactive experience with five listening stations with headphones and a display of handpicked vinyl records. A dedicated DJ booth will also be set up on Saturdays.

However, before you can understand the detailed differences between espresso drinks like a macchiato or a latte, grasping the basics of general espresso shots can be helpful.

But did you know there are other types of espresso shots beyond a basic shot, such as a lungo shot? In this guide, we'll break down the basics of espresso vs. lungo and how these two types of espresso shots compare in both flavor and strength.
