Starting May 4th, home cooks and coffee lovers can get their hands on a brand new innovation by KitchenAid. The all-new KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machines with Iced Coffee make it easy to bring the coffee shop to your home by unlocking a range of beverages, including cold coffee settings. Available online at KitchenAid.com and in select retailers, this new espresso brewer line-up includes the brand’s first iced/hot coffee dual capability feature, allowing for barista-quality brewing of both hot and cold espresso drinks.

The new line up will include three KitchenAid models, each which include IntelliGrind and aroma balance systems that auto-sense, adapt, and brew every coffee bean to perfect. Each model includes a built-in grinder for easy, mess-free brewing and no manual adjustments required. The aroma balance system serves as your “personal” Barista, controlling the water flow through your grounds to unlock the full potential of every bean. Additionally, the AutoMilk system automatically selects the appropriate amount of milk and right texture required for every drink selection.

KitchenAid also designed these new espresso machines with QuietGrind technology to minimize sound vibrations during grinding, ideal for busy households that want to brew morning coffee without bothering other people in the household. Compared to the brand’s other fully automatic espresso machines, these machines are 25% smaller, designed to appeal to those with limited countertop space (but those who still want the true iced coffee and personalized home brewing process).

Europe is slowly embracing wine in pouches instead of bottles. Is America next? 
Medley Wine Co.

Boxed wine gets a bad rap because, well, it’s wine in a box. You’ve heard all the negative connotations by now: They’re cheap, unsophisticated, and downright boring. You walk into any party with boxed wine, and you’ll not only raise eyebrows, but also be persona non grata at the next shindig. I’ve personally never sipped wine from a box, though that has a lot to do with the fact that my introduction to wine happened when a date of mine from more than 20 years ago ordered a bottle of Château Ste. Michelle Riesling at a restaurant I frequented. The Riesling was sweet, crisp, and truly delicious for someone who runs on beer, tequila, rum, and whiskey. That bottle of Riesling, however, sparked curiosity: Buying a dozen red and white bottles of wine from my local shop in Pasadena, California. The bottles sat mostly on my wine rack collecting dust. I’d open one every few months when guests preferred something buttery or fruity over carbonated or oaky booze.

It wasn’t until my trip across Tuscany in April 2018 that I really learned to appreciate wine. After touring the tiny village, one wine came out on top, and it’s one I order every chance I get when dining out: Chianti Classico. But always make sure the bottle carries the black rooster symbol. The older I get, the more I appreciate a glass of wine. Heck, last summer while visiting Cuban Creations Cigar Bar in New Orleans, the lovely waitress recommended a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon for the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva cigar I was about to light. It was a great recommendation.

Bowmore is bringing a new 20-year-old Islay single malt to the US
Whisky, Scotch, Bottle

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
