Dunkin’ and Homesick release two new coffee-inspired candles

Fill your home with coffee scents

Dunkin’ and Homesick collaborated just a few weeks ago, ahead of National Coffee Day, to launch the Dunkin’ Original Blend coffee candle — but now they’re back with even more exciting scents. If you love adding the smell of freshly roasted coffee to fill your home this fall, these candles are for you.

To add cozy vibes to the season, Dunkin’ and Homesick have launched two new Halloween and Fall-inspired sweet-scented coffee candles to light up your home. Now available for purchase online, the two new limited-edition scents include:

  • Potion Macchiato Candle: Inspired by the classic Dunkin’ macchiato drink, this candle smells delicious and rich. Featuring notes of espresso beans, marshmallow dust, roasted ube, and smoked vanilla, the Potion Macchiato Candle will bring warmth and wizardry straight to your home.  This release comes just after Dunkin’ announced new Halloween-inspired beverages.
  • Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte Candle : Nothing says Halloween and crisp fall weather like the spicy sweetness of pumpkin spice. This candle will have you craving a Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte with its notes of cinnamon bark, clove, warm espresso beans, pumpkin, and caramel.

In addition to these two new coffee-inspired candle scents, you can still purchase the Original Blend Candle for a classic coffee smell and the Perfect Combo Car Freshener to enjoy a coffee scent while on the go. All three candles are available online now, but only for a limited time. Dunkin’ has not mentioned an exact date on when they’ll be available, so grab these before they sell out. Each candle has a burn time of about 60 to 80 hours and comes in a full-size 13.75 oz glass jar.

Should you put olive oil in coffee? About this unconventional, yet tasty combination
It sounds odd, at first
Olive oil being poured into glass jar

Adding olive oil to your cup of coffee sounds a bit far-fetched when you first think of the concept. After all, isn't olive oil for cooking or drizzling atop vegetables for dinner? The answer is yes, but olive oil can also be a mix-in for your morning cup of coffee. In replace of milk or coffee creamer, olive oil serves a similar purpose: adding creaminess and flavor to your favorite brew. Here's what you need to know about putting olive oil in coffee and why it's not as unthinkable as it sounds.
Where did olive oil in coffee originate?

Using olive oil in coffee has recently become mainstream after Starbucks launched its Oleato line of coffee menu items infused with olive oil. Starbucks founder Howard Schultz is responsible for this creation, inspired by the Mediterranean custom of eating a spoonful of olive oil with coffee. As he enjoyed his cup of coffee every morning, Howard was mesmerized by the tradition of consuming a spoonful of olive oil for its exceptional health benefits. This observation inspired him to experiment with adding olive oil to coffee. Thus, the Oleato coffees were born soon after.

What is bulletproof coffee and is it healthy for you?
Rethink your morning coffee ritual
Creamy bulletproof coffee

There are probably as many different ways to prepare or take your coffee as there are days in the average month. Black, one sugar, a splash of cream, with an espresso shot, as a latte, cold brewed, double brewed—the list goes on and on. There’s also an avid tribe of coffee drinkers who add butter. That’s right; whether for purported health reasons and diet goals or simply because they agree with the often-tossed-around phrase that “everything tastes better with butter,” some people skip the milk, cream, and sugar and make their morning cup of coffee with grass-fed butter. Known as bulletproof coffee, this creamy coffee drink is a breakfast staple—if not offered as breakfast in its entirety — for many people practicing intermittent fasting or who are adherents of the keto diet, paleo diet, or other low-carb diets.
If you don’t regularly follow niche diet and wellness trends, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of bulletproof coffee and it may sound entirely unappetizing. But, if you’re a lover of creamy coffee drinks and low-carb living, your interest may be piqued. Either way, if you’re like us and think it can be fun to learn about different diet trends and consider whether they appeal to you or may improve your health, keep reading for all the basics about bulletproof coffee. We’ll answer common questions including, "What is bulletproof coffee?" "How do you make bulletproof coffee?" and "Is bulletproof coffee healthy?"

Latte vs coffee: Making sense of coffee shop menus
Understanding coffee shop orders isn't that hard
Latte

For newbie coffee drinkers, the world of coffee and the never-ending coffee terms used by regular drinkers can seem like a different language. Just head to a local coffee shop and listen to the plethora of different orders -- lattes, drip coffee, iced lattes. Just like learning a new language, starting by learning the basics of coffee shop lingo is a great place to start. Regular coffee and lattes are two common orders, each with unique distinctions. In this guide, we'll break down a latte vs. coffee order, exploring both their similarities and differences. Plus, we'll guide you in determining which order is best for you based on your coffee preferences.
What is a latte?

A latte is a coffee drink that is made from steamed milk, espresso, and a thin layer of milk foam. This iconic coffee drink is enjoyed around the world in both hot latte and iced latte forms. Requiring only two ingredients to make it perfect, the latte is simplistic and classic. Today's coffee shops offer tons of variations of the latte, but all you need to know about the latte is it's creamy and delicious. Unlike other espresso drinks that contain a higher ratio of espresso to milk, a latte typically contains one part espresso to three parts steamed milk. Making a latte at home requires that you have freshly brewed espresso (and an espresso maker), along with tools to steam milk.
