Finally, The Hot Sauce for Coffee We All Haven’t Been Waiting For

Because apparently the best part of waking up is hot sauce in your cup, Lauren D’Souza has formulated the Ujjo line of hot sauces designed specifically for adding to coffee. What a time to be alive! But regular coffee already makes me need to go to the bathroom bad enough.

Available in light roast and dark roast blends, the Ujjo light roast formula combines ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and dried orange peel with pasilla, cayenne, chili de arbol, and ghost chilis for heat. The dark blend is a combination of cinnamon, cocoa, and vanilla with ground pasilla, guajillo, red hatch, ghost chili peppers to kick it up a notch. Yum! And by yum, I mean my stomach is churning just thinking about it.

Hey, different strokes for different folks – that’s what my favorite substitute teacher Mrs. Gitland used to tell us all in high school. Maybe hot sauce coffee is for you, or maybe it isn’t. One this is for sure, though; it’s definitely a conversation starter. That conversation presumably started with, “Quick, where’s your bathroom?!”

This French Press Coffee Maker has an hourglass built into its handle that lets you perfectly time your brew!

The idea for a french-press coffee maker with a built-in hourglass is probably the best example of ‘a brain on caffeine’! To be honest, it’s downright genius too. Measure your brew, pour your water, flip the timer, and you know exactly when your coffee is ready! This French Press from the guys at StramperPress lets you do just that, allowing you to calibrate your brew with a nifty little sand hourglass that has a countdown time of 4 minutes, letting you know when your brew’s just perfect.

Sporting a wonderfully Scandinavian design, the StramperPress french press is minimal yet has a commanding presence – along with a brilliant little feature. Outwardly, it’s like any french press, allowing you to brew your coffee in hot water, then press the plunger to push the coffee grounds and pour fresh coffee out. However, to ensure that you don’t over-brew your beverage (resulting in bitter, burnt notes) or even under-brew it (causing your coffee to taste weak), the coffee maker comes with a nifty hourglass built into its handle. Just flip it after you pour your hot water and the hourglass will tell you when your coffee’s ready. No batteries, no electronic timers, no beeping, no fuss. Just a really simple and sophisticated product with a stupidly brilliant idea at the heart of it!

Coffee is as complex as wine. Kruve’s coffee glasses help you appreciate it.

Designed with the elegance of a fluted wine or champagne glass, and with a double-walled construction that allows you to appreciate your caffeinated beverage without burning your fingers, the Kruve EQ helps turn your quick morning fix into a multi-sensory gourmet experience.

Available in a set along with an elegant double-walled carafe you can directly brew in, Kruve EQ’s glasses help activate every single one of your sense, allowing you to appreciate the golden elixir the way it was meant to. Designed by Kruve, who are all too passionate about their cups of coffee (they even designed this coffee sifter to bring consistency to your coffee grounds) the EQ glasses come in two designs that are the inverse of each other. Each glass, however, contains an inner container/wall that is either narrow and long, or wide and short. These two inner container variations are almost akin to the ones we’d see between glasses for red and white wines. The transparent, thin borosilicate construction allows you to admire the color of the brew (the brew’s hue, if you will), while the wide and narrow inner walls control the degree of oxidation, affecting the intensity of the coffee’s taste brought about by its acidity. A wider glass brings about more acidity, working well with chocolatey/nutty roasts, while a narrower glass prevents oxidization, making it apt for already acidic light-roasts that have a more fruity/citrusy flavor.

The wide and narrow glasses are further complemented by wide and narrow rims that allow the coffee to interact with larger or smaller areas on your tongue. They’re also designed to either trap or focus the aroma of the coffee, while the glasses themselves need to be held at a more horizontal angle in order to drink your coffee, allowing your nose to pick up on all the aromas as the coffee tantalizes each sense… because drinking coffee can be an incredibly nuanced gourmet experience too!
