In addition to releasing the new holiday-inspired coffee mugs, the holiday many and reusable red cups will also return to stores nationwide starting November 7th. To top off the good news in the “holiday spirit,” Starbucks has also responded to customer complaints regarding pricing on upcharges to substitute non-dairy milk options.

According to Starbucks, replacing dairy milk with non-dairy substitutes, such as oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk, is the second-most requested substitution in drinks. Previously, the company would charge for substitutions. However, customers will no longer be charged for this order substitution starting on November 7th.

Caramel frappuccino

Jordan’s Skinny Mixes, a brand known for helping coffee lovers craft delicious drinks without sugar, has launched a pre-sale of its newest invention: a Skinnyccino. With consumer interest rising in products that combine protein with coffee, the brand proudly announces its new "Skinnyccino" product line. Jordan Engelhardt first launched the brand in 2009 to "elevate life’s daily rituals" without sacrificing fun or flavor. Today, the brand has expanded beyond cocktail mixers and offers a vast selection of sugar-free products available on SkinnyMixes.com, Amazon, and in-stores at many major retailers throughout the U.S.
This announcement marks the brand's first-ever ready-to-drink beverage, offering a convenient, on-the-go coffee containing half the calories in a typical Starbucks Frappuccino. Available in Caramel or Vanilla flavors, the Skinnyccino is the perfect drink for those who want to down on sugar and increase protein intake. Each ready-to-dink Skinnyccino contains zero added sugar and has 110 calories, 8 grams of protein, and 100 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce serving.
Crafted from a cold brew with meal milk and naturally flavored, Jordan's Skinny Mixes describes the new product launch as a way to "indulge in the sweet life" without the added guilt. Each drink offers convenience, enough caffeine, and the familiar taste many coffee lovers crave.

Skinnyccinos are now available directly from Jordan's Skinny Mixes website on a pre-sale launch starting today, March 4th, until March 10th, with an official launch date of March 11th, 2025. Skinnyccinos join the brand's other sugar-free and low-sugar flavor products, including coffee syrups, cocktail mixers, water-enhancing syrups, and on-the-go flavor bursts.

Ground coffee vs. instant coffee: A battle of taste, convenience, and caffeine
Can you substitute ground coffee for instant coffee?
instant coffee

To a non-coffee drinker, ground coffee and instant coffee might look the same to the naked eye. Both appear as ground, brown powders. but only from a distance. But for everyday coffee drinkers like me, there's a big difference between ground coffee vs. instant coffee -- both in appearance, use, and, most importantly, taste. To me, instant coffee has a "coffee dust" or crystalized appearance, whereas ground coffee almost appears more like "dirt."

I like to consider myself an "open-minded" coffee drinker, as I firmly believe there is a time and a place for every type of coffee in my life. This means I'll gladly use both ground coffee or instant coffee, depending on the scenario. For me, ground coffee is perfect for everyday coffee brewing at home, but instant coffee is the ideal coffee product to take on the go. But what is the reason for the differences between ground coffee vs. instant coffee? Let's compare.
