Just in time for Father’s Day, luxury coffee company Moccamaster dropped a brand new, super sleek variation of its beloved KBGT coffee maker. The KBGT Midnight is now the first-ever all-black design coffee maker by the brand, featuring a sleek black stainless steel thermal carafe. This new drop marks history for the brand, introducing a colored carafe for the first time. For those who already own a KBGT or KBT Moccamaster coffee machine, the blacked-out carafe is also available for purchase as an add-on accessory.

The sleek brewer combines Moccamaster’s renowned brewing excellence with a bold aesthetic, making it the perfect gift for coffee-loving dads. Handmade in the Netherlands and backed by a 5-year warranty, the KBGT Midnight ensures every cup meets the Specialty Coffee Association’s Golden Cup Standard.

This pour-over automatic drip machine is designed for those who want to brew a full carafe of coffee through a simple, effortless process that brews top-tier coffee with ease. The Moccamaster KBGT Midnight keeps things simple using a pour-over process that can brew at the touch of a button. The process starts with a flip switch and the automatic brew basket stops the flow of coffee when the carafe is removed, keeping every pour clean and controlled. Inside the sleek black stainless steel exterior, a borosilicate glass lining helps retain heat, keeping your coffee hotter, longer.

Priced at $359, this sleek new addition to the Moccamaster line-up makes the perfect gift for the dad who loves coffee. With a neutral color scheme, this sleek brewer can blend into any kitchen decor and make a statement atop kitchen countertops anywhere.

This new coffee and hydration bundle gives back to Brazilian farmers

This $50 coffee & hydration bundle is your new summer essential

Equator Coffee

We're right in the heart of the summer -- and this fun seasonal collab from Equator Coffees makes the perfect pairing for those who love coffee (and hydration) as much as I do. The new Golden Hour x Buoy Hydration Bundle, (priced at $50), pairs Equator's Golden Hour blend (bright, fruity notes of orange creamsicle and Rainier cherry) with Buoy's unsweetened hydration drops and a 32oz water bottle featuring original artwork from local SF muralist Rymie. As you build a nice war-weather routine, this bundle helps emphasize the importance of staying hydrated (and caffeinated) all summer long. Even better, 5% of collection sales support youth agricultural education at the farm behind the blend in Brazil.

“Golden Hour is summer in a cup. It’s bright, vibrant, and the kind of coffee I reach for when the days get longer. Pairing it with Buoy hydration drops and a custom Nalgene just made sense to us—great coffee to start your day, hydration to keep you feeling your best, and a bottle you’ll actually want to bring everywhere this summer," says Helen Russell, Co-Founder and Executive Chair.

The best value single malt whisky from every region of Scotland

Take a tour of Scotland with these gateway whiskies

Aberlour

If you’re new to the world of Scotch whisky, you might just assume that it all tastes the same. Well, not only are there major differences in aroma and flavor between many well-known whiskies, but there are also five distinct regions, and each has its own unique flavor profile. Each region is also home to many value whiskies. Today, I’m going to highlight one from each. But before I get into that, I need to start at the beginning.

When I first started writing about alcohol, Scotch whisky seemed a little overwhelming to me. When I first tasted it, I thought they all tasted the same. That changed when I was given a dram of single malt whisky from The Macallan alongside a dram of single malt whisky from Laphroaig. Boy, was my mind blown.

Craft beer and spirits, Indigenous style

A look at a unique tribal label within the craft beer industry

When an industry fails to reflect the community, it falls short. That's the case for everything from fashion and music to the craft beer movement. Diversity in production honors the diversity in consumers.

In terms of beer, it's long been a white and male dominated affair. Lately, marginalized folks have made strides and craft beer has partnered up with some organizations doing great work. But so much work is left to do.
