I first discovered blonde roast espresso when ordering an iced Americano at Starbucks — one of my tried-and-true orders. As I explored the modifications you can make through the Starbucks app, I wondered what an iced Americano made with a blonde espresso would taste like. I like bold and strong coffee, so trying a blonde espresso drink was a very spur-of-the-moment decision for me. Like I suspected, my drink order tasted different.

Balmuda Moon Kettle

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.
