Alternatively, the La Specialista Opera with Cold Brew offers cold extraction technology that delivers exceptional cold brew in under three minutes and makes espresso, americano, lattes, and more. More drink options, more control, more choice.

Last in the new product line-up is the Dedica Maestro, an espresso maker that trades automatic convenience for masterful manual control in a compact design. It controls every step of the coffee-making process with a powerful commercial-style steam wand, three brewing temperatures, and 15 bar pressure.

Cold brew vs. espresso: Which one should you order next time?
Comparing flavor, caffeine content, and acidity
Cold brew coffee

Whenever I visit a coffee shop or find myself in a coffee drive-through, my mind runs through dozens of orders. A cold brew is an excellent order for when I'm in the mood for something to sip on slowly, but a shot of espresso hits the spot when I want something fast and slightly bitter. Though I love both coffee drinks, there's a right time and a place to order a cold brew vs. an espresso. Below, let's compare cold brew vs. espresso regarding acidity, caffeine content, and taste. Next time you find yourself unsure which to order you'll go with, you'll remember these differences.
Brewing time and method

According to La Colombe Coffee Trainer Rachael Guerrieri, “Cold brew and espresso are as different as you can get. Cold brew is a coarse grind with cold or room-temperature water. During the brewing process, the coffee and water spend a ton of time together to get the perfect brew - think 8-24 hours! On the other hand, espresso is a super fine grind, made with really hot water in about 25 seconds." Guerrieri is La Colombe's East Coast trainer and has over 15 years of experience as a barista and coffee trainer.

Balmuda Moon Kettle

BALMUDA, a Japanese technology brand known for its sleek design and cutting-edge technology, has launched an exciting new product for coffee and tea lovers. Available starting tomorrow, March 6th, the MoonKettle draws inspiration from centuries-old traditions in Chinese and Japanese tea culture. This innovative product reimagines the traditional tea or coffee kettle, designed with upgraded, modern features tailored to the needs of today's consumers. The concept and inspiration for the MoonKettle is rooted in "yao guan", an ancient Chinese kettle initially used to boil herbal medicines. Over time, yao guan evolved into a tool for boiling water - something that also holds deep cultural significance in Japan.

The MoonKettle has various features designed to enhance your tea and coffee-making experience. For example, it has a fixed handle that ensures a stable, controlled pour from any angle. Adjustable temperature settings (122–212°F) allow you to quickly brew the perfect tea or coffee, while the kettle retains heat for up to 30 minutes, so you never have to rush to enjoy your beverage. Each pot has a capacity of 5-6 cups of coffee or 3 cups of noodles. The MoonKettle will be available in black or white in two sleek and modern colors. Plus, the compact shape of the kettle makes a statement sitting atop your kitchen countertop or while in use.
