Death Wish Coffee Co.'s Light Roast Blend Death Wish Coffee / Death Wish Coffee

Known as the #1 organic coffee brand and #1 fair trade brand in the United States, Death Wish Coffee is known for its high-quality and delicious coffee blends. Until now, however, the brand has focused on medium roast and dark roast blends. The brand has now announced a light roast coffee has finally been added to their roasts, ideal for those who enjoy the lighter, fruity notes of a light roast coffee.

Made from a blend of three different coffee beans, the new Death Wish blend combines the sweet fruit notes of Columbian coffee, the bright acidity of Peruvian coffee, and the depth that Robusta beans provide. The combination of these coffee beans delivers a sweet, bright, and bold blend that is jam-packed with quality and flavor. Like all of Death Wish’s products, this coffee roast is Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic, and Kosher. The coffee tastes bright, with notes of golden raisins and a sweet and bright aftertaste. The aroma features a hunt of plum and agave — both sweet and fruity.

For now, the Light Roast blend is available in 16 oz. ground coffee bags, available right from their website or on Amazon. The brand plans to hit Target shelves early in 2025 and also plans to offer roasts in single-serve K-cup pods and whole bean bags. As consumers shift toward choosing sustainably sourced coffee products, Death Wish remains a top brand in the industry. Each Death Wish product follows rigorous standards that protect the environment and livelihoods of coffee farmers.

Why Kauai Coffee Company should be on every traveler’s bucket list
A walk around the coffee plantation
Kauai Coffee Company

I'll take any chance I get to combine the things I love most: traveling and coffee. While visiting Kauai, I knew it was a must to visit Kauai Coffee Company's estate, located in the southern part of the island. Kauai Coffee Company, the largest U.S. coffee grower, produces an impressive 4 million pounds of coffee annually, all grown on its own plantation in Kauai. Given that a healthy coffee tree produces only one pound of coffee per year, this means this coffee producer's estate is home to nearly 4 million coffee trees.

If you love coffee, be sure to stop by the estate for a self-guided walking tour, where you can explore the grounds on your own and learn a bit about how coffee is made. Of course, the free coffee samples in the gift shop are also a motivating factor. Here's a look inside the self-guided Kauai Coffee Company walking tour. Coffee lovers visiting Kauai, you'll want to pay attention.

Love s’mores and coffee? This Joel McHale-approved treat combines both
The s'mores and coffee combination you didn't know you needed
Joel McHale

Just in time for s'mores season, Seattle's Best Coffee is taking coffee beyond the brew with Coffee Roast Mallows, a limited-edition variety pack created in partnership with XO Marshmallow. Inspired by the smooth taste of Seattle's Best Coffee, this cozy treat is approved by Seattle-native Joel McHale, an actor, comedian, and coffee aficionado.
Launched today, the coffee-inspired marshmallow variety pack features four toasty flavors along with a bag of Seattle's Best Coffee Campfire S'mores Flavored ground coffee. Dan Gaul, co-founder of The Manual, interviewed McHale to get the scoop on this latest release. Here's what he shared.
Why McHale loves Coffee Roast Mallows

Known for his sharp wit and passion for coffee, McHale brings the perfect blend of humor and hometown pride to “toast” as the hilarious face of Seattle's Best Coffee's new “May Smoother Coffee Bring Smoother Days” campaign. "These limited edition [coffee marshallows] are flavored and inspired by their coffee roasts—like the light roast, the dark roast, the medium, and then s’mores," says McHale. "Now, you can have this sweet treat with your coffee, or just put them in the cup like I do and eat them that way."
Growing up in the Northwest in Seattle, s'mores hold a special place in McHale's heart, reminding him of camping memories from his childhood. "You know, [our family didn’t have much money. I’m the youngest of five, so it’s not like we had a ton of money to go somewhere else. So, camping was our vacation in the summer," he shares. For him, this nostalgic coffee and s'mores duo evokes campfire feelings, taking him back to the good ol' days.
Though McHale is also a huge fan of iced coffee, he loves adding marshmallows to hot coffee for a cozy campfire feeling. Unaffected by coffee's caffeine, McHale says it doesn’t make his heart race.
