Love Grown makes cold brew easy with new, plastic-free bags

If you’re anything like me and love cold brew coffee — you know that not all cold brew is created equal. Love Grown, a brand known for its health-forward breakfast line of nutrient-dense cereals and Clean Label Project-certified coffee, today announced the launch of new Cold Brew Easy Brew Bags, a simple new way to make smooth, rich cold brew at home with no equipment, mess, or barista required.

Designed for people like me who love cold brew but want cleaner solutions, these easy brew bags are simple to use at home: drop one into any pitcher before bed and steep overnight to create 32 ounces of cold brew by morning. Each bag of Love Grown, plastic-free, clean-label cold brew brews a bold, smooth cup with notes of baker’s chocolate, using an award-winning blend of specialty coffee beans sourced for both flavor and purity.

“We love cold brew, but the options out there were not living up to what we wanted,” said Katie Tyson, co-founder and CEO of Love Grown. Buying it every day gets expensive, making it at home can be complicated, and too often the same standards people expect from hot coffee are overlooked when it comes to cold brew. We wanted to create something that tasted like it came from a coffee shop, but was easy to make at home and met our standards for purity.”

Each pack of Love Grown Cold Brew Easy Brew Bags contains six brew bags, yielding up to 30 servings of cold brew. The bags are made from abaca paper and are 100% plastic-free, offering a cleaner, simpler alternative to many conventional at-home brewing options. As the only Clean Label Project certified coffee brand, Love Grown’s coffee is independently tested for mold, pesticides, and more than 300 other contaminants.

“We built this for people who want cold brew that tastes great, is easy to make, and gives them confidence in what they’re drinking,” says Tyson. “It is clean, simple, affordable, and made for real life.”

Wilderness Trail Distillery, based in Danville, Kentucky, has released two limited-edition whiskeys to mark co-founders Dr. Pat Heist and Shane Baker’s induction into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame’s 24th annual class.

Heist and Baker built the actual distillery from scratch in 2012, starting with a single 250-gallon pot still capable of producing about a barrel a day.

The Culinary Alchemy of Cynthia, the New West Village Wonder
Adult, Female, Person

One of my favorite tricky-to-translate Japanese words is mottainai. The term roughly echoes the old chestnut “Waste not, want not” but more broadly expresses the Japanese knack of turning trash into treasure. Nowhere is mottainai more elegantly expressed than in the kitchen. Sake lees become kasujiru, a delicious winter soup; fish heads and skeletons simmer into rich stocks; and vegetable peels reincarnate as pickles, preserves, and garnishes.

Among New York City chefs, the grand master of mottainai hails not from the Land of the Rising Sun but the land of soccer and samba. Sherry Cardoso, a young chef from Minas Gerais, has made low-waste cooking a central pillar of Cynthia, her new restaurant in the West Village. Her tasting menu, changing with the seasons, might include caramel flan with a haunting sulfurous kiss from onion peels, a Negroni enlivened with oil extracted from lemon rinds, or a wondrously funky XO sauce conjured from a hodgepodge of veggie unmentionables. After stints at Per Se, Brooklyn Fare, and Top Chef, Chef Cardoso has discovered the culinary Philosopher’s Stone—the alchemical sorcery to transmute the base into the precious.

Cosori’s new automatic coffee maker wants to perfect your pour-over
Cosori

Cosori, a trusted name in kitchen appliances known for its precision-engineered products, just dropped an exciting new way to perfect your pour-over coffee brew. The Juni, an automatic pour-over coffee machine, delivers an exceptional cup of coffee using the same technique often associated with slow, technical hand-brewing. The technique, which rewards patience, is now automated with Juni’s unique brewing system, which runs the bloom, pour stages, and extraction automatically to Specialty Coffee Association (SCA)-certified standards.

“Pour-over is defined by the hands that guide it – it’s a ritual of precise movement, gentle pours, and rising aroma,” shares Pierce Barnard, Head of Product Innovation at Cosori. “We spent 18 months studying the science and mapping each step, not to automate it away, but to replicate it faithfully. The moving nozzle, rotating basket, vibration, and open brew deck were all deliberate choices to preserve that experience.”
