Fellow / Fellow

Fellow is setting a new standard for home espresso machines with the launch of its first-ever espresso machine, the Espresso Series 1. Announced today at a launch at the brand’s headquarters in San Francisco, the Espresso Series 1 features a revolutionary combination of professional precision and intuitive design, delivering café-quality results.

The new espresso machine joins the brand’s lineup alongside the well-known Aiden Precision Coffee Maker, a drip coffee machine known for its sleek aesthetics and exceptional quality. The Espresso Series 1 is designed to make it simple to brew barista-quality espresso for flavorful lattes and cappuccinos. With the tagline “Beginner Friendly, Expert Ready,” Fellow targets have included all the capabilities of a cafe-style espresso machine in a stunningly simple design for home use. From precise temperature control to preset espresso profiles tailored to your coffee, it doesn’t get any smarter than this for a modern espresso maker.

Fellow plans to showcase the sleek new machine this week in Houston at the Specialty Coffee Association Expo. The Espresso Series 1 will be available in three colors that are designed to be a statement piece for your countertop: Black, Cherry Red, and Malted Chocolate, with a price of $1,499.95. However, the machine is available for early pre-order now, but it doesn’t have an exact shipping date. Fellow ensures that those who pre-order now will receive their orders before the holidays, with an estimated launch in Fall 2025. For a limited time, those who are first to reserve the Espresso Series 1 will lock in $300 off future retail pricing and will also receive $100 in Fellow Drops credits to use on coffee.

Make yourself a grown up cognac cocktail for National Lemonade Day
Lemons

The first Saturday in May each year is dedicated to National Lemonade Day, as the weather warms up and the demand for cool drinks soars. Kids are encouraged to try their hands at entrepreneurship by setting up their own lemonade stands, and everyone gets to enjoy a refreshing beverage. And as a European, even I must admit that American lemonade, with its sharp flavors from fresh lemons, is truly a cut above the soda-like beverage which we call lemonade on our side of the pond.

If you're looking for a more adult take on a lemonade, though, then you can always try out a cocktail. While there are plenty of classic cocktails which feature lemon juice -- most notably, the whole family of sours, which consist of lemon juice, a little sugar syrup, and a spirit -- there are fewer which take advantage of lemonade. With its bold flavors and plentiful sweetness, lemonade can be overpowering to some ingredients, so you need to use a spirit with plenty of body and flavor such as a cognac.

I tried De’Longhi’s smartest espresso machine yet — and ditched my café
It's way smarter than I expected it to be
Delonghi Rivelia

When I first heard about the launch of De'Longhi's Rivelia espresso maker, I was uncertain what to expect. Coming from De'Longhi, the beloved home appliance brand and industry leader, I knew this espresso would be nothing short of exceptional (turns out I had no idea what I was in for). It's safe to say the expectations were high for De'Longhi's advanced technology. However, I wasn't quite prepared to become obsessed with this first-of-its-kind machine.

De'Longhi's Rivelia truly lives up to the attribute of "smart", exceeding expectations of what a home espresso machine can do. Here's what it's like to use the Rivelia at home, and a look at how its innovative technology adapts to your coffee preferences.

BrewDog revamps its popular Elvis Juice IPA
A facelift for a popular beer release
BrewDog Elvis Juice IPA.

BrewDog is making a splash with a new-look can. The Ohio brewery just launched a redesign for its popular beer, the Elvis Juice IPA. It comes just in time for the warm weather season, when backyard barbecues and the best summer beers are most welcome.

The can now looks a lot like the beer tastes. Evoking citrus peel, the orange stripes are a punchy addition to the can's aesthetic. While no citrus is technically added to the beer, the hop bill makes for a zesty IPA.
