YouChews Coffee Chews — YouChews / YouChews

If you want to get your caffeine fix but don’t have time to drink a whole cup of coffee, there’s a new solution. YouChew’s Coffee Chews blend 100% Hawaiian-grown Kona coffee beans with smooth cacao and Guarana to deliver a delicious pick-me-up that rivals your favorite cup of joe. Perfect for on-the-go energy, each chew contains the same caffeine as an 8-ounce cup of coffee. Two chews contain the equivalent of a double shot of espresso. The caffeine in each chew comes from a plant native to the Amazon rainforest known as Guarana, delivering long-lasting energy without sugar spikes or jitters.

Each YouChew coffee chew contains only 2 grams of sugar and uses all-natural ingredients. Each bite includes a delicious creamy coconut and a slightly sweet, soft flavor from natural coconut butter, blended with a gentle chocolatey experience from the velvety cacao. Unlike other caffeine-packed products that can sometimes cause a crash, YouChew’s Coffee Chews contain natural caffeine released slowly. As a result, users get longer, more consistent energy without the highs and lows of coffee.

The YouChew brand has crafted these new Hawaiian coffee chews after heavy research investigating the absorption of soft chews. Research shows that soft chews have superior absorption to pills, powders, and gummies, allowing the caffeine in these chews to be highly absorbed by the body. Plus, the delicious flavor of each is almost like a mid-day snack. Each chew is vegan-friendly, keto-friendly, and dairy-free, making this an excellent option for nearly any coffee and chocolate lover. Even better, these Hawaiian coffee chews come individually wrapped, perfect for taking no matter where you’re headed.

Verve Coffee Roasters launches new Wilder Blend, inspired by California’s Wilder Ranch State Park

Celebrate the beauty of nature in your cup of coffee

Verve Coffee Roasters

Verve Coffee Roasters has recently launched its latest Wilder Blend, inspired by California’s Wilder Ranch State Park. The Santa Cruz-based specialty coffee roaster celebrates nature's beauty with its fan-favorite seasonal blend, Wilder. The Wilder Blend highlights three different regions: Guatemala, Rwanda, and Peru. With notes of pluot, cherry leaf, and dandelion, the coffee results in a jammy upfront, rounding out into a delicate balance with a finishing floral touch. Each sip captures the spirit of the land to your cup, echoing serene trails and coastal breezes.
Wilder is now available in both the company's cafe locations in California and via online purchase for home brewing. The blend can also be brewed in various ways, including Verve’s Dwell Dripper - crafted from BPA-free silicone and features a unique bottomless design, allowing for a free-flowing brew process that creates an aromatic and beautiful brew. Effortlessly clean and endlessly enjoyable, this new blend can be purchased in whole bean form, finely ground form for espresso, medium for filter brewing, and coarse for French press brewing.
According to Verve Coffee Roasters, all of the brand's coffee roasts can be brewed in multiple ways, designed for your perfect morning. You can also try the Wilder Blend in Instant Coffee form to enjoy your coffee on the go. Individual packets are ideal for travel and require only 10 ounces of hot or cold liquid (water, milk, or milk alternative) to make. Simply stir and drink up (perhaps while hiking in the Wilder Ranch State Park). This limited-time seasonal roast is available now for purchase.

Coffee on an empty stomach: Is it a good idea?

Should you drink coffee first thing after waking up?

Cup of coffee

I've never been one to be overly hungry in the morning hours. Instead, I'm more encouraged to get up and go downstairs to make coffee to start my day. For me, coffee serves as my breakfast, making intermittent fasting even easier. I usually eat my first meal, breakfast, around noon to 1 p.m., so every morning, I drink coffee on an empty stomach (and not just one cup of coffee -- I drink multiple).

As a health enthusiast and coffee lover, I have always questioned whether this is the best for my health. Maybe I knew it all along or prefer to ignore it. But is drinking coffee on an empty stomach acceptable, or should I reconsider my morning habits? Here's what to know about drinking coffee on an empty stomach.

Arabica coffee shortages may make your morning breakfast pricier in 2025

Eggs aren't the only breakfast item with rising prices

Recent news stories have highlighted the rising cost of eggs due to the bird flu, but another critical problem is emerging. Last week, Arabica coffee prices closed at a record of $4.04 per pound and are expected to rise higher this week. This rise is up 26% since the fourth quarter of 2024, when prices remained around $3.20 per pound. Recent reports of a dry, hot weather system forming over Brazil's coffee areas are contributing to new price peaks, as farmers in the world's top coffee-growing regions are reluctant to sell. Brazil produces over half of the world's Arabica coffee beans, posing a serious problem for coffee drinkers around the world.

Experts such as Bank of America's analysts have warned consumers about the growing shortage of Arabica coffee beans, preparing them to brace for retail coffee prices to rise. Analysts note that the outlook for coffee crops in Brazil is quite uncertain, especially given the potential for unfavorable weather conditions in upcoming months. Dry El Nino weather and low rainfall in Brazil have damaged coffee trees during an essential stage of coffee growing. Weather reports also indicate Brazil has faced the driest weather conditions since 1981, worsening the Arabica coffee outlook.
