Brewing a single cup of coffee just got even more accessible thanks to the release of Vinci Housewares’ newest Micro Café single-serve brewer. This new brewer just launched, encompassing innovative technology and thoughtful design to create an extraordinary coffee experience rich in flavor. The new maker debuts a better way to brew a single-serve cup of coffee in a sleek, space-efficient frame that fits into even the tightest of kitchen spaces.

Measuring only 9.25 inches tall and with a base circumference of 4.5 inches wide, the Micro Café Single-Serve Brewer is a welcome alternative to the traditionally big and bulky single-serve brewers consumers are accustomed to. Additionally, users will appreciate the Vinci Micro Café Brewer’s built-in clean function that leaves the unit dry and hygienic after each use since a common concern with single-serve brewers is mold growth in the internal plumbing. Vinci tackles this issue by eliminating long water lines within the unit and instead containing internal brewing to a very short pickup tube.

Harnessing the power of Vinci’s patented Circle Flow Technology, the Micro Café Brewer applies continuous water circulation while brewing. This results in a perfectly brewed cup of coffee every time and the very best extraction from the coffee grounds, capturing every ounce of flavor. The Micro Café Brewer also hits optimal brewing temperatures faster, which delivers your cup of joy quicker than ever before.

The Vinci Micro Café Brewer is compatible with K-Cup filters and pre-filled K-Cups and includes a reusable filter cup for added convenience, money savings, and sustainability. It also features three brew strengths plus an optional Bold feature for a stronger morning cup, and brew sizes range from 4oz to 12oz. This is a great option to control the strength of your coffee, delivering customization based on your idea of the perfect cup of coffee.

Coffee shops, it’s time to add decaf nitro cold brew to the menu
A missing piece at every coffee shop
Nitro cold brew

Nitro cold brew remains one of my all-around favorite coffee drinks to order. It's truly never disappointed me. Every sip is smooth, creamy (without any actual cream), and has the perfectly velvety texture. When I'm out running errands or traveling, I love treating myself to nitro cold brew because I don't make it at home. Unlike an iced americano or a regular cold brew, which I make at home, making nitro cold brew requires the infusion of tiny nitrogen bubbles.

As much as I love nitro cold brew, I've identified one major problem. The caffeine in nitro cold brew hits hard -- especially if you slurp it down as fast as I do. This drink's smooth and velvety nature makes it so easy to drink quickly. The average nitro cold brew contains between 200 and 300 mg per serving, more than enough to make you feel jittery. Even as a caffeine addict, I find the caffeine in a nitro cold brew to be a bit too much (especially if I've already had another coffee that day). After experiencing the caffeine jitters from nitro cold brew one too many times, I've wondered: Why isn't decaf nitro cold brew a thing? I've searched dozens of coffee shop menus and have never found decaf nitro cold brew on a menu.

Espresso vs. drip coffee: Comparing two beloved brews
The battle of the brews
black eye coffee

True coffeeholics understand that comparing espresso and drip coffee is like comparing apples to oranges. While in the same "family," these two varieties are entirely different—from their taste to how they're brewed. You can't beat a traditional drip coffee for a classic, reliable cup at any time of the day. Yet, concentrated and bold espresso meets a need that drip coffee can't when I'm craving something stronger. Here's what to know about espresso vs. drip coffee and why they're different.
Espresso vs. drip coffee

Bernadette Gerrity, VP at Cafe Aroma, a family-owned and operated Cuban espresso company, shares what makes espresso and drip coffee unique. As a former coffee trader, Bernadette now brings her expertise to her family's business, which her grandfather started in 1961. Firstly, she shares that the primary difference between drip coffee and espresso is that they're brewed using two completely different methods. "Espresso uses a lot of pressure to push a small amount of hot water through finely ground coffee beans, resulting in a very strong, highly concentrated shot of coffee. It’s perfect for making drinks like americanos, lattes, and cappuccinos, and it requires very little time," she says.
