In addition to releasing the new holiday-inspired coffee mugs, the holiday many and reusable red cups will also return to stores nationwide starting November 7th. To top off the good news in the “holiday spirit,” Starbucks has also responded to customer complaints regarding pricing on upcharges to substitute non-dairy milk options.

According to Starbucks, replacing dairy milk with non-dairy substitutes, such as oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk, is the second-most requested substitution in drinks. Previously, the company would charge for substitutions. However, customers will no longer be charged for this order substitution starting on November 7th.

I grew up on tri-tip — here’s why sous vide is now my go-to method
Put down the grill tongs. Trust us.
grilled and sliced tri tip steak

I grew up in California, eating tri-tip on an almost weekly basis, so when I got a little older and moved around a bit, I was shocked to learn that this delicious cut of beef isn't as well known in other parts of the country. I'll never forget visiting a friend in North Dakota and asking a grocery store butcher if they had any tri-tip. I was met with a very confused, sympathetic stare from someone who thought I must be nuts.

When I was growing up the most popular way to cook a tri-tip was on the grill, over smoking charcoals with a huge amount of grilled vegetables and a ton of friends to enjoy it with. But I've been grown up for a while now, and in that time, more than a few things have changed. Chiefly, my favorite way to prepare this delicious cut of beef. While tri-tip is still a favorite of mine and a regular item on the menu in my house, these days I make it quite a bit differently - using my favorite sous vide machine and the below recipe.

Does decaf espresso exist? Here’s what to know
Strong coffee flavor without the caffeine
Espresso cup with a book and coffee beans

Espresso is illustrious for its bold and strong taste, crafted by forcing hot water under high pressure to create a concentrated"shot."  Yet, what makes espresso unique is its brewing method, which differs significantly from making coffee with an automatic drip coffee maker. Espresso's rich, concentrated taste is not dependent on its caffeine content but rather results from its small serving size and quick, pressurized brewing process.

Ultimately, the difference is not in the beans themselves but in how they are brewed. Both espresso and coffee begin with the same coffee beans. However, many are shocked to find decaf espresso on a coffee shop menu. Like decaf coffee, a decaf espresso shot begins with coffee beans stripped of their caffeine.
