Blue Bottle Craft Instant Espresso
blue bottle
Coffee lovers are often faced with a conundrum when it comes to brewing at home: spend a lot of time and effort crafting the perfect cup, or go the quick and easy route with instant coffee and suffer through an inferior drink. But the days of making that choice may be coming to an end, as coffee royalty Blue Bottle has entered the instant coffee game.
The brand has announced Blue Bottle Craft Instant Espresso, its first instant espresso product that it says perfectly replicates the acclaimed Blue Bottle flavor in an instant coffee. The goal of the new coffee is to make Blue Bottle quality more accessible to a wider range of people, and it took three years of development to perfect. Blue Bottle says the coffee is better than your average instant coffee thanks to the combination of a gentler extraction method that uses gentler temperatures and pressure with a longer freeze-drying process. The result is a higher quality product and a better tasting cup of coffee… that’s ready in an instant.
Blue Bottle’s Craft Instant Espresso will go on sale online and at Blue Bottle coffee shops starting Nov. 7, with a 12-serve pot for $25.

Dad Grass Dog Bones
Father Grass
Dad Grass has been helping parents (and anyone else of age) relax since 2020 with their brand of low-THC/high-CBD hemp products, and now they’re looking to help your friend too furry to relax.
The brand has introduced a line of Dad Grass Dog Bones that contain the same organic CBD oil as Dad Grass products intended for humans. The bones are 100% organic and contain 4 mg of CBD each, and Dad Grass recommends 1 mg of CBD per day for every 10 pounds your dog weighs (for example, a 10-pound dog should only have a quarter bones per day). The bones are vegan and flavored with real pumpkin, which is a tasty treat for Fido that might also soften him up a bit.

You’ve no doubt heard that monosodium glutamate, the common flavor enhancer known as MSG that’s best known for being present in Chinese takeout and other Asian foods, is bad for your health. Well, as it turns out, MSG is perfectly safe, and the decades-long effort to demonize it was the work of anti-Asian xenophobia.
Now, “proud and strong” Asian food brand Omsom is bringing MSG back, and rightly so, giving it a seat at the table, literally, with its new IYKYN (if you know it, you know it) Shaker Set that ·place a shaker full of MSG next to the plus. family salt and pepper shakers. The brightly colored trio includes pepper sourced from Vietnam, salt from South Korea and MSG produced by Japan-based Ajinomoto. Omsom recommends adding MSG to your dishes as a salty, umami-filled finish, and once you start doing it, you’ll start to wonder how you ever lived without it.

Level+ lock

Smart locks have been around for a while, but Level Home’s new Apple-exclusive Lock+ might be the smartest yet. The simplified lock, which is about the size of a normal deadbolt, is the first smart lock sold by Apple to integrate the Cupertino brand’s Home Key feature that allows users to store a digital key in their Apple Wallet which can be used to open your door.
Once set up with your home key, Level Lock+ will unlock with a simple tap on your iPhone or Apple Watch. You can also program it to unlock as you approach your door, with a tap of your finger, or with your voice using Siri. You can even grant access to the lock to other members of your family or neighbors using the Level app. And, in case you don’t trust an all-digital lock on your front door (who does, honestly), the Level Lock+ also works with a standard key.
