After a year of iterating on the design, testing prototypes, and perfecting details, the leading drinkware company, Created Co., has unveiled its latest product: the NOMAD tumbler. This long-awaited product has been carefully designed by passionate members of the coffee community. It offers a ceramic-coated vessel with a color-matched interior and exterior.

The idea behind the innovative ceramic-coated design comes from common complaints by coffee drinkers using to-go cups that leave a metallic taste behind. Using ceramic helps solve this problem and creates a more enjoyable coffee-drinking experience. As such, the NOMAD Tumbler’s intelligent design preserves nuanced flavors and aromas in coffee and eliminates interference with natural flavors.

The NOMAD tumbler comes in multiple sizes, including an 8 oz, 12 oz, and 16 oz size—ideal for no matter how much coffee you like to drink. Shoppers can choose from either a flip lid or a grip lid. The cup is made from premium 18/8 medical-grade stainless steel and features double-wall insulation, maintaining beverage temperatures for up to 10 hours. It also has a 100% leak-proof lid, ensuring a spill-free experience while navigating a busy commute or exploring an outdoor adventure.

Beyond its functionality, this innovative ceramic coffee to-go mug’s unique design has great aesthetic appeal, too. The NOMAD tumbler comes in basic colors such as black or white or more vibrant colors like Terracotta or Pacific. “We wanted to develop something truly exceptional for the coffee industry. We haven’t seen anyone quite pull off a tumbler with high-end, leakproof performance matched with a seamless aesthetic flow from interior to exterior. We’re really proud of NOMAD and are excited to share it with the world”, said Ryan Schneider, co-founder of Created Co.

Here’s why Hestan NanoBond cookware is perfect for home cooks

This pan makes it easy to ditch your old, toxic pans

Hestan NanoBond cookware

As an avid home cook, I believe the type of cookware you use is as important as the food quality and ingredients used in your meals. Having the correct type of cookware ensures a dish is cooked to perfection and means a dish you can feel good about eating. I've even convinced my grandparents and parents to ditch their nonstick cookware recently -- which is no easy task for an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of crowd.

A recent study has suggested that even a tiny surface scratch in Teflon cooking pans can shed over 9,000 microparticles and nanoparticles of plastic into your food. If you ask me, this is reason enough to switch to stainless steel cookware free of PFAS (also known as forever chemicals) that build up in your body and cause adverse effects on your health and the environment. I recently tried an 11-inch pan by Hestan NanoBond cookware, which has made the switch to stainless steel pans a breeze. Here's why I think this pan is perfect for any home cook.

How to enjoy Dunkin’ coffee without the sugar overload

Cut your sugar while still enjoying your Dunkin' run

Dunkin

Coffee and health are two of my greatest passions in life. When these two passions collide, I find myself searching for healthier coffees to order while on the go. National coffee chains such as Dunkin' are always featuring their new limited-time and seasonal flavors, such as Peppermint Mocha and Brownie Batter. As delicious as these sound, they're jam-packed and full of sugar. Those coffees are occasional treats instead of "everyday order" options.

In the literal definition of the word, sugar-free Dunkin drinks hardly exist (except a few options like plain black coffee or tea). However, plenty of nearly sugar-free or low-sugar Dunkin' orders are just as enjoyable as many of the featured drinks you see in the ads. Here's what to order when you want a reliable Dunkin' coffee order that won't leave you with a sugar crash.

The space-saving coffee maker that brews K-Cups and ground coffee effortlessly

Enjoy the versatility of using ground coffee or K-Cups

Though some "coffee snobs" condemn using K-Cups, I believe there's a time and a place for every type of coffee. You cannot deny the convenience of using single-serving K-Cups, especially when you want a fast, reliable cup of coffee and don't need to brew an entire pot.

However, there's also no denying that a coffee made with regular ground coffee tastes fresher. Yet, those of us with limited kitchen counter space (or those who hate too much clutter in our kitchens like me) often struggle to determine which coffee maker to buy: a drip coffee maker or a K-Cup.
