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.

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.

Surprising ways to use ground coffee beyond your morning brew

Everything you can use ground coffee for, beyond your morning cup of joe

Coffee grounds in a plant

Perfectly described by Chris Smith, co-owner and founder of Ground Ops Roastery + Bakehouse, "The day doesn't truly begin until that first sip of coffee." Yet, according to Smith, the story of coffee extends far beyond its role as just a drink. Coffee has so many uses both inside and outside of the kitchen -- that most of us coffee drinkers fail even to acknowledge. From cooking with coffee grounds, such as in tenderizing meat, to using them as fertilizer for plants, consider these surprising uses for ground coffee.
