Decaf coffee drinkers now have another choice they can feel great about. Manatee Coffee, Florida’s original “Coffee with a Cause,” has now expanded its organic collection with two new decaf roasts: Eco Brew Organic Swiss Water Decaf and Coastal Reserve Organic Swiss Water Decaf. Both decaf roasts use the healthful Swiss Water decaffeination method to remove caffeine from beans without the use of chemicals. This process uses water, temperature, and time to gently remove caffeine while preserving the original character and flavor of the coffee bean.

The first of the new brews, Eco Brew Organic Swiss Water Decaf, is a medium-roast with notes of chocolate and toasted nut for a balanced cup. Those who prefer a bolder cup of coffee will enjoy the Coastal Reserve Organic Swiss Water Decaf, a dark roast with notes of chocolate and smoky plum. Both of Manatee Coffee’s new decaf roasts are low-acid and USDA Organic certified.

“Growing Manatee Coffee’s portfolio of organic roasts, aimed to make more sustainable options accessible, has been a goal for us for some time, so on the heels of our recent Eco Brew and Coastal Reserve launch, developing Swiss Water® Decaf versions was a natural next step,” said Brad Gutwein, CEO of Manatee Coffee.

The addition of these two new decaf roasts supports Manatee Coffee’s commitment to transparency, sustainability, and quality. Each bag sold helps contribute to their mission of protecting marine life through partnerships with Save the Manatee Club, the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Friends of Manatee Lagoon, Mote Marine Laboratory, and, most recently, Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens.

The best Thai restaurants in New York that are beyond Pad Thai

Thai restaurants are some of the most popular in America, and New York City is no exception. Within the city limits, hundreds of Thai restaurants call the five boroughs home, and while Pad Thai and chicken satay are tasty mainstays, knowledgeable diners are aware there’s more to Thai cuisine than the takeout favorites. From Michelin Bib Gourmand awardees to fine dining, New York City has all levels of Thai food. Having dined at many such eateries in the city, I’ve listed a few standouts showcasing the regional diversity of Thai cuisine in New York.

The best single malt Scotch whiskies that are available everywhere

Glenmorangie

Single malt Scotch whisky carries a bit of a stigma. There’s an air of fanciness that the other whisk(e)y styles don’t have. This is likely because of its storied history and the fact that you probably started drinking other types of whiskey, like bourbon or rye, before venturing into the world of Scotch, especially single malt Scotch.

As a whisky writer with more than 20 years of professional experience, I’m here to tell you that the world of Scotch (and single malt Scotch in particular) is much more approachable than it seems. You don’t need a tweed jacket, an ornate pipe, or even a fancy mustache to enjoy a glass of single malt Scotch whisky; you need to know where to find a great, approachable bottle. That’s because myriad outstanding bottles of single malt Scotch are available everywhere whisky is sold.

It is always time for a good burger: Learn how to make the best burger at home with a NYC expert

Burger, Food

I am not a foodie. Any friends of mine will probably tell you I have the palate of a ten-year-old. And I am ok with that. Hell, don’t get mad at me because I found all the foods I love when I was a child. You can keep your expensive seafood and works of art on a plate for the price of a competition bike. Give me the $1.50 slice, the hot dog outside Central Park, and a good burger that makes your mouth water. Oh, you need something a little more elevated? Fine, give me a steak, mashed potatoes, and an old fashioned.

Anyway, since moving to NYC, I have been on the hunt for the greatest burger in the city, and when I stepped into Gotham Burger, I may have accomplished the feat. Is it a work of art on a plate? Nope, it is just a burger. Uncomplicated. Simple. Mouthwatering.
