These frozen coffee pods are the future of barista-quality coffee at home
Each morning for the past two weeks, I’ve taken out a tiny aluminum capsule from my freezer. Inside is a small, frozen puck of coffee, which I pop in a glass and pour a few tablespoons of boiling water over from my kettle. As a Bostonian, I’ll drink iced coffee in a tundra, so I add ice cubes, top off the glass with almond milk and water, and toss the capsule into the recycling bin. And that’s the beauty of Cometeer . advertisement advertisement The new-ish company sells K-cup size capsules of flash-frozen brewed coffee, that are stashed in your freezer and reconstituted with hot water. They can also chill in your fridge or counter (or carry-on, as the company emphasizes, the capsules are TSA-compliant) for up to 24-hours and be added to cold water (or ice cream for affogato) once it melts.

5 Great Coffee Shops In Salt Lake City For Remote Workers
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It’s no secret that the urge to live in Utah is growing – and fast. Last year alone, almost 35,000 Americans migrated to Utah – 10,000 more than in 2020 and the most since 2005. The real secret is why. Even before COVID-19 hit, millennials and young Gen Xers had begun swapping their busy city lives for affordable suburban adventures with the opportunity to buy a house. The pandemic’s spike in remote work only catalyzed this movement. From July 2020 to July 2021, housing units grew faster in Utah than in any other state.

The fact is, Donald Trump brought the GOP kicking and screaming into issues they’d been avoiding for decades — from trade to immigration to ‘woke’ corporatism. Oh, and he helped bring about the most originalist Supreme Court in my lifetime. I worked closely with the Trump administration in my brief tenure in the remarkable … [Read more...] about LEWIS: Many Republicans won’t tell the truth about Trump. Here’s why
