De’Longhi always something new brewing (no pun intended). As a global leader in espresso machines, De’Longhi has just announced an expansion of its existing Classic Espresso Machine lineup with the introduction of the new Classic Matte Black & Classic Stainless Steel colors. Building on the success of last year’s Classic launch and further advancing the brand’s mission to make café-quality espresso simple, intuitive, and accessible for everyday home use.

Designed for the modern home barista, the De’Longhi Classic combines Italian design with streamlined precision brewing. This simple, yet effective espresso machine utilizes 9-bar extraction, fast thermoblock heating, preset espresso recipes, and an intuitive control interface. Users can make craft espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, iced lattes, and espresso-based cocktails with ease. Its compact footprint and thoughtfully designed interface make it a seamless fit for any kitchen, while included accessories allow for immediate at-home brewing.

Two new editions of the De’Longhi Classic Espresso machine

  • Classic Matte Black- The Black Classic will be available in the U.S. for open-market distribution, retailing at $149.95. Featuring a matte black finish and a stainless steel steam wand, it allows for an accessible entry point into home espresso with essential functionality and effortless usability.
  • Classic Stainless Steel- Launching initially on Amazon U.S. and delonghi.com, the Stainless Classic will retail at $179.95 in the U.S. and $229.95 in Canada. With a premium stainless steel finish and upgraded 2-setting steam wand, it offers enhanced control and versatility for milk-based beverages and customization.

While De’Longhi is known for their advanced, top-tier espresso machines like the Rivelia and the Eletta, this new launch offers a great space-saving option for those living in apartments or small homes. As much as I love De’Longhi’s advanced espresso machines, they require a sizable amount of counter space.

“Following the strong reception of the Classic Signature last year, we’re excited to expand the lineup with new finishes that meet both style and channel needs,” said Eliza Woolston Sheffield, President of De’Longhi America. “The Classic Matte Black & Classic Stainless Steel editions maintain the same core simplicity and performance while giving consumers more ways to bring café-quality coffee into their daily routines.”

Celebrate the start of summer with a new 20-year-old straight rye whiskey from Bulleit
Bulleit is celebrating America's birthday with a new rye whiskey

While bourbon is referred to as America’s “native spirit”, rye whiskey actually has a longer historical footprint in the US. While bourbon didn’t get its start until the late 1700s, rye whiskey was popular decades prior. So, it only makes sense that in celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday, Bulleit would release its oldest rye whiskey ever: Bulleit 20-Year-Old Rye.

Summer is the perfect time for tequila-based cocktails. On a hot day, you can’t go wrong with a Paloma, Margarita, or any other tequila-centric drink. And while classic Blanco or reposado tequila works well as a base, the folks at Cazadores just launched potentially the best tequila for summer mixing: Cazadores Pineapple Infused Tequila.

Blended Scotch whiskies you’ll want to drink neat
These blended Scotch whiskies are too good to be used solely as mixers
Dewar's 15

If you’re a Scotch whisky drinker, I know you have at least a few bottles of blended Scotch whisky that you would never drink neat or on the rocks. Perhaps you were given a bottle, or you just bought one because of a flashy label, only to realize it was fairly unpalatable on its own, best mixed with soda or other ingredients. But, if you limit your whisky collection to blended Scotch whiskies that you’d never want to drink neat, you’re missing out on some outstanding expressions just waiting to be discovered.

I was once like this. When I first started writing about alcohol, I didn’t know much about Scotch whisky, and my only experience with blended Scotch was a less-than-stellar expression that came in an easy-to-grab plastic bottle. It wasn’t the type of whisky I was going to want to crack open when my friends or family members stopped by.
