De'Longhi Dedica Duo — De'Longhi

De’Longhi, the #1 global espresso brand, has launched yet another stylish and functional innovation: the Dedica Duo. Launched yesterday, the Dedica Duo boasts an ultra-slim design, packed with features that make brewing your morning coffee enjoyable. Delivering both espresso brewing and making cold brew in one unit, this tiny yet mighty espresso machine is perfect for the smallest spaces (think apartments, small kitchens, and more). Although it’s no surprise that this launch comes from the renowned De’Longhi, the new gelato-inspired shades are the standout feature of this launch.

The 5.9″ wide De’Longhi Dedica Duo is designed to match any kitchen aesthetic. Priced at $299.95 (USD), you can now get your hands on one in any of the four gelato-inspired shades. Whether you’re looking for a bold pop of kitchen-counter color or choose to stick with the timeless Stainless Steel, you know this De’Longhi machine will be the most beautiful piece atop your kitchen counter. The four shades available now include:

Rose: A soft, playful pink for a touch of whimsy in your kitchen.
Pistachio: A fresh, modern green that brings understated elegance to your countertop.
Vanilla: A warm, neutral hue that complements any style with a classic, clean look.
Stainless Steel: Sleek and timeless, offering that professional, coffeehouse vibe.

While its beauty will take you by surprise, the De’Longhi Dedica Duo offers so much more than a pleasing aesthetic. This new launch enables coffee drinkers to brew hot espresso in just seconds or enjoy smooth, cold brew coffee in under 5 minutes, without the steeping required for traditional cold brewing. The built-in barista tools, such as the My LatteArt steam wand, make it easy to create microfoam for fun, cafe-style drinks.

Here’s how I built my own box of personalized iced coffees with Frazy Bottles

Customize your iced coffee

Frazy Bottles

There's something extra fun about personalizing anything -- but especially your coffee. Perhaps this is why Starbucks fans love the detailed mobile ordering system that allows you to customize every component of your order. Similarly, Frazy Bottles enables coffee drinkers to customize every aspect of their coffee concentrate box when placing a personalized order. Building a box with Frazy Bottles made me feel like a kid in a candy store. From selecting my preferred sweetness level to fine-tuning how much caffeine is in each bottle, the whole experience is fun. Here's how I built my own personalized box of iced coffees with Frazy Bottles.
Personalizing your iced coffee

The Frazy Bottle ordering process is pretty simple. First, choose your box size: 6, 12, or 18 bottle packs. I chose the six pack to start with (just to see how I liked it). It's worth noting that the brand also has Boba tea options, but I only tried their coffee selections. After selecting your box size, you'll then move to a page to choose which flavors you'd like in your box. This is where things got especially interesting as I noticed cool and unique coffee flavors such as the Red Velvet Latte and Chocolate Chip Latte. I haven't had a chance to try all the flavors, but of the ones I did try, the Pumpkin Spice Latte was my favorite (you don't need to wait until fall for this).

Are quicker Starbucks orders on the horizon? Here’s why I’m hopeful

Shorter wait times might be coming soon

Starbucks Coffee

New Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol, shared just a few months ago that Starbucks planned to address one of its most significant customer pain points: long wait times. Alongside the implementation of other changes, such as shortened menus, Starbucks has begun a technology pilot at dozens of U.S. Starbucks locations to reduce wait times. If you've noticed your Starbucks is a slow process, perhaps these changes will come to your favorite Starbucks location soon.

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, this pilot has successfully reduced the average wait time by two minutes. Due to the success of the test pilot, Starbucks plans to expand it to an additional 10,000 Starbucks locations across the U.S. Living in a highly populated region of the Northeastern U.S., I've had first-hand experience waiting too long for a Starbucks order. While it's never bad enough to keep me from returning, it's certainly noticeable, especially in specific busy locations. If you've ever had to forgo an order you've already paid for (through mobile order) because you were running late, you may have experienced this too.

Homemade coffee creamer recipe: Plus, how to customize it to your personal taste

Avoid the additives found in many coffee creamers

Coffee with cream

When I first heard of a "homemade coffee creamer recipe," I immediately pictured a multi-step process requiring dozens of ingredients. As much as I love cooking, my hectic everyday work week doesn't allow me time to experiment with complicated recipes.

Yet, I know that many store-bought creamers today contain many additives, such as lots of sugar or high fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, and emulsifiers. Therefore, it's easy to see the appeal of trying a homemade coffee creamer. To my surprise, making coffee creamer at home is uncomplicated. It's way easier than it sounds. Many recipes, such as this homemade coffee creamer, require only four natural ingredients.
