Canned Coffee Carnival : Stōk Cold Brew Iced Coffee

Canned Coffee Carnival : Stōk Cold Brew Iced Coffee

Given the huge spike of high-end espresso shops that have popped up in every major urban center over the last few years, it should come as no surprise that American high-end coffees are starting to break into the bottled and canned scene as well. Prepackaged coffee presents a host of other difficulties when packed, all hinging on the notion of retaining precious fragile flavor compounds in the…

Espresso Train: The Heavenly Rest Stop

Espresso Train: The Heavenly Rest Stop

Location: 2 East 90th Street (on 5th Avenue/Central Park East.)

In a recent foray to New York City’s Upper East Side, I decided to make a check online for any new places that had opened in the area. In my search, Bluestone Lane,  an Australian-style espresso bar that has been opening locations throughout the city, popped up just north of the Guggenheim Museum, right along Central Park East.…

Local Stop : Coffeed Kona Fancy

Local Stop : Coffeed Kona Fancy

When it comes to coffee beans, there are a few sources that are considered particularly elusive due to their small crop sizes, ideal growing conditions, and resulting unique flavor profiles. Hawaiian coffeeis one such type of bean, where the super-fertile soil of Mauna Loa and Hualalai volcanoes in the Kona districts of the Big Island lead to some amazing product. Historically owned and managed…

A Citizen of Many Beans

A Citizen of Many Beans

Since moving to a new location, my sister, Kae of Team Stripey Socks, decided that it was somewhat unconscionable that I was without a constant influx of novelty espresso beans coursing through my highly-caffeinated veins. The solution was simple: have the beans come to me. And so, she signed me up to Citizen Bean.

Canned Coffee Carnival : Maeil Café Latte (카페라떼)

It’s been a while since I’ve had the time and inclination to take a look at different types of prepackaged coffee drinks, but when one of the Korean markets near my home in NYC decided to literally stock an entire line of coffee/tea milk drinks, it seemed irresponsible not to.

Available in pleasant-looking plastic cups with latte-art-labeled foil lids, the Maeil Café Latte (카페라떼, Kape Ratte)…

Recently, I took a look at a whole bunch of different canned coffees and started noticing some, let’s say trendsamongst the flavor profiles across various brands and treatments – across the board, there was lots of sweetness to be found in every drink. And while there’s definitely a lot of reasons to throw…
