Keurig, the brand that transformed at-home single-serve brewing with its coffee brewers, has just introduced its first-ever branded coffee K-Cups. The new “Keurig Coffee Collective” is helping coffee drinkers uncomplicate their morning coffee routine with brews crafted by in-house coffee experts. Now available on Keurig.com and expanding to national retail in 2026, each Keurig Coffee Collective K-Cup roast provides consumers with an elevated at-home coffee drinking experience. Each K-Cup is expertly roasted, artfully ground, and distinctively delicious, crafted based on the brand’s three core elements.

  • Refined grind: A new manufacturing technique grinds beans to a high density to deliver 30% more coffee grounds into every K-Cup pod.
  • Curated beans: Selected by Keurig coffee trailblazers (a collective of some of the brightest minds in coffee), help ensure authenticity and high quality
  • Pods curated to the smallest detail: Reinforces premium positioning in the K-Cup space

The launch of the Keurig Coffee Collective is a “Big step in Keurig’s brand history as we debut our first-ever line of coffee made by our own in-house experts,” said Becky Opdyke, Senior Vice President, Coffee Marketing at Keurig Dr Pepper. “Millions of loyal Keurig fans already know and love us, so introducing a Keurig-branded coffee line is a natural evolution that our fans can expect us to deliver with excellence. The Keurig Coffee Collective is a product we know will meet consumer demand for delicious, premium quality coffee while reinforcing our leadership in the space.”

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Old Forester, the Louisville, Kentucky brand that bills itself as America’s first bottled bourbon, just released the newest entry in its 117 Series: Triple Char Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky.

The milestone here isn’t only the char — at least, not entirely. It’s also that Triple Char is the first Old Forester expression made entirely from whiskey distilled at the brand’s Main Street distillery.

Herradura is bringing back its 110-proof tequila, the strongest it’s ever made
Alcohol, Beverage, Tequila

How high in ABV can a mass-market tequila get? Herradura is looking to find out, with the return of Directo de Alambique, an unaged, still-strength expression bottled at 110 proof at Casa Herradura in Amatitán, Jalisco.

The tequila first appeared in 2012 as a small-batch experiment and developed a cult following among collectors before disappearing. The brand says the 2026 return comes after years of requests from drinkers hunting down old bottles.

An interviewer once famously asked Keith Richards how he had survived decades of rock ‘n’ roll debauchery—heights of hedonism that had sent so many of his cultural contemporaries to an early grave. His answer was surprisingly pragmatic: whatever the vice, he indulged thoughtfully rather than recklessly. And he insisted on only the finest, purest product money could buy. When it came to illicit vices, the King of Riffs exercised discernment as polished as his taste in guitars.

While my indulgences are, on the whole, tamer than Keith’s, I have taken his philosophy to heart when it comes to booze. Especially as hangovers grow more vicious with each passing year, I demand maximum enjoyment from every pour. Every drop of alcohol that touches my should be premium—and consumed thoughtfully.
