BALMUDA, a Japanese technology brand known for its sleek design and cutting-edge technology, has launched an exciting new product for coffee and tea lovers. Available starting tomorrow, March 6th, the MoonKettle draws inspiration from centuries-old traditions in Chinese and Japanese tea culture. This innovative product reimagines the traditional tea or coffee kettle, designed with upgraded, modern features tailored to the needs of today’s consumers. The concept and inspiration for the MoonKettle is rooted in “yao guan”, an ancient Chinese kettle initially used to boil herbal medicines. Over time, yao guan evolved into a tool for boiling water – something that also holds deep cultural significance in Japan.

The MoonKettle has various features designed to enhance your tea and coffee-making experience. For example, it has a fixed handle that ensures a stable, controlled pour from any angle. Adjustable temperature settings (122–212°F) allow you to quickly brew the perfect tea or coffee, while the kettle retains heat for up to 30 minutes, so you never have to rush to enjoy your beverage. Each pot has a capacity of 5-6 cups of coffee or 3 cups of noodles. The MoonKettle will be available in black or white in two sleek and modern colors. Plus, the compact shape of the kettle makes a statement sitting atop your kitchen countertop or while in use.

Enjoy these menu items while you can
Starbucks Coffee

A few weeks ago, Starbucks announced plans to cut several menu items to streamline the cafe experience. Today, Starbucks has announced more details, sharing which menu items will be removed from stores. Starting March 4th, less popular beverages will be removed from the menu, including those that are not commonly purchased, can be complex to make, or are too similar to other drinks on the menu.

These changes are part of Starbucks' effort to simplify its menus, focus on fewer, more popular items, and allow items to be executed with excellence. Starbucks believes these changes will promote innovation, help reduce store wait times, and improve quality consistently across the board. Additionally, Starbucks will shift focus to premium beverages rooted in customer trends and preferences, such as the popular Starbucks Cortado.
