Big Joe Cookie — Molly Bz / Molly Bz

Mocha-coffee lovers who love the indulgent blend of coffee and chocolate now have a light snack to pair perfectly. Molly Bz bold, gourmet cookies are now offered in a coffee flavor called “Big Joe Cookies.” Big Joe Cookies are made with fresh ground coffee, whole beans, rum, and chocolate chips. Enjoyed on their own or as a bite between sips of your coffee, these cookies are every mocha coffee lover’s dream. Cookies are available in mini 3-packs, half dozen, or dozens.

While these cookies have been around since 2019, Molly Bz recently announced a new partnership with P-Rex Coffee. P-Rex Coffee sources its coffee beans from Seed of Hope, a non-profit in Thailand focused on saving families and children from trafficking and slavery. Not only can customers feel great about purchasing cookies made with this coffee, but the taste is also elevated due to using exceptional-quality coffee beans. P-Rex Coffee uses 100% shade-grown Arabica coffee cultivated in the picturesque mountains of Northern Thailand.

These coffee cocktails are the unexpected summer drinks you’ll crave all season

Summer coffee cocktails that aren't another espresso martini

Mr Black

I could sip on espresso martinis and frozen espresso martinis year-round, but sometimes, on hot summer days, you need something a bit sweeter and fruitier. These fruit-inspired summer coffee cocktails blend traditional summer flavors, like pineapple and strawberry, with Mr Black Coffee Liqueur for a caffeinated and alcoholic twist on your standard summer iced coffee.

Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur, made with 100% specialty arabica coffee, Australian wheat vodka, and a touch of cane sugar, is the perfect base for creating unique summer cocktails with a caffeine boost. My favorite is the Café Colada, a drink that makes a great choice when you can't decide whether you want a fruity, frozen drink or an iced coffee (a frequent predicament I face). Here's how to make three fruity, summer coffee cocktails using Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur.

Luckin Coffee opens in NYC, bringing its Starbucks rivalry to the U.S.

The first two U.S. locations of this Asia-based coffee chain are now open

Luckin Coffee

Starbucks appears to have a new rival in town in the U.S. market. The first two US locations of China's fastest-growing coffee chain, Luckin Coffee, are now open in NYC. Luckin' Coffee opened two NYC locations yesterday: Greenwich Village near the NYU campus and NoMad. Founded in 2017, Luckin' Coffee has taken off across China, catering to younger guests in China, Singapore, and Malaysia. The chain has over 24,000 locations across Asia but has entered the U.S. market. The chain is known for its simplified menu and "bare-bones" stores, which accept only cashless payments and mobile orders.
For the launch of the first two U.S. locations, Luckin announced steep promotions such as $1.99 drink deals and 50% off beverages for the grand opening, as well as free tote bags for the first guests to enter the store. The menu at this Asia-based coffee shop offers everything U.S. coffee and tea drinkers are used to, from cold brew coffees to matcha drinks to flavored lattes. The menu also includes a small selection of light bites and pastries. Per the brand's website, Luckin Coffee uses only the finest Arabica coffee beans that are sourced directly from renowned coffee-producing regions. Other menu specialty coffees include the Apple Fizzy Americano and Pomelo Americano.
Though Luckin may only have two U.S. locations at the moment, rumours suggest the brand plans to expand quickly in the U.S. market. With low prices and an app-based model, the chain can keep prices low and could soon become a strong competitor for Starbucks.

Do coffee pods expire? Here’s what the pros say

When to toss coffee pods from your pantry

coffee pods

The convenience of coffee pods is undeniable — with no dosing, scooping, or mess, coffee pods deliver a fast and easy way to get your caffeine fix without the hassle. Yet all coffee pods, from the Nespresso Vertuo pods to the standard K-Cups, contain regular ground coffee inside the casing (even though you can't see it). With that in mind, do coffee pods have an expiration date? I know I've wondered this question before, especially after pulling out bags of K-Cups from my pantry that've seemingly been there for ages. Let's break down the answers to everything you've wondered about "Do coffee pods expire?"
Do coffee pods expire?

Drew Pond, Co-Owner of Stone Creek Coffee, gives us the short answer we probably already knew: yes, coffee pods expire. "They're not Twinkies. Most are stamped with a “best by” date about 8 to 12 months out, but let’s be clear: that’s not a magic number. The flavor starts to fade way before that if you're not using the right pods or storing them correctly. Coffee is full of delicate oils, compounds, and aromatics that fade over time, especially in single-serve formats," he says.
