When the Paiter Surui community expelled the last invaders of their land in 1981, they faced a divisive decision. Should they keep the coffee plantations left by the colonisers? Some destroyed them because of the death and violence contact with the non-Indigenous world had caused. Others felt sorry for the trees and couldn't kill them.
Coffee byproducts offer a promising, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative for improving the functional and ecological performance of bio/edible films. These agro-industrial residues exhibit a richness in biofunctional compounds such as polyphenols, caffeine and dietary fibers, which contribute significant antioxidant, antimicrobial and UV-barrier properties, making them ideal candidates for applications in active food packaging.
The UN General Assembly adopted the resolution March 10, while inviting the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to help facilitate the annual observance in collaboration with relevant organizations, particularly the International Coffee Organization (ICO).
Where larger, electric espresso machines generate the pressure and heat needed for espresso inside their massive housings, the Flair takes a different approach. A large lever sits atop a small stack of brewing equipment, and you use that lever to create the bars of pressure necessary to get espresso. There's a chamber for your grounds and another atop it for hot water.
Toast said the analysis is based on same-store restaurant sales from January 2024 through December 2025 across a cohort on its platform, which served about 164,000 locations as of Dec. 31, 2025. The biggest declines through 2025 were found in green tea (-4.9%), black tea (-3.4%), hot drip coffee (-3.3%) and regular soda (-2.3%).
A good cup of coffee (decaf included) delivers on all fronts: Flavor, acidity, body, sweetness, and balance, aka The Pleasure Principle. The infamously-snobbish coffee élite might maintain that decaf drinkers aren't "real coffee fans." But, as a veteran barista, I would argue that the opposite is actually true: Only the most diehard bean-heads tread decaf domain.
My denomination is good, old-fashioned drip coffee. That's what I drink first thing, before I even think about crafting a shot of espresso. I'm WIRED's lead coffee writer and I've developed a deep fondness for coffee's many variations, from espresso to Aeropress to cold brew. But "coffee" to me, in my deepest soul, still means a steaming mug of unadulterated drip.
Camp Coffee Shop offers a level of access and connection you just can't get at a big trade show. Instead of rushing between crowded booths and packed lectures, attendees spend real time working through their own business challenges with instructors and peers.
Whether you prefer a classic flavor like caramel or want something a bit more unique like French toast, we tried to cover the gamut of flavors. We ranked each latte based on how accurate the flavor was to its description and its overall sweetness level (meaning, was it a pure sugar bomb or was espresso the only flavor present? - balance is key) to crown the best of the best.
For a lot of consumers, this is true. The shelves of your local market are stocked with bags of different types of coffee roasts, and any café you frequent likely has a long list of different types of coffee drinks that you can order, but for the most part the actual species of coffee that you buy is not part of the equation.
For me, cafes have long represented more than just necessary fuel to start the day. They are a place to relax, create, and connect, whether that be to yourself, the local environment, or friends. As a food scientist and professional baker who's worked as a barista, good coffee and pastries are also undoubtedly important - don't get me wrong. The best cafes not only invite you in; they invite you to stay.
A small, stingless bee may be able to raise coffee yields while fitting into real-world pest control programs, according to a new study from Brazil. In a field study on full-sun arabica farms, researchers reported a 67% higher fruit yield on coffee branches closer to colonies of the native stingless bee Scaptotrigona depilis, compared with branches farther away. The study was recently published in Frontiers in Bee Science.

Coffee brimming with lemon myrtle cream. Matcha banked with strawberry-lychee foam. Cold brew with choc-orange froth thick enough to stuff a pillow. Every caffeinated drink I've ordered in Sydney recently has the appearance of a generously frosted cake. It's a trend you'll see or sip across Australia, from Toasted Carine's iced latte with maple cold foam in Perth to Le Bajo's chilled oolong tea with raspberry cream in Melbourne.
Café Bustelo is a longstanding favorite in the Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican communities as its original brew's exceedingly strong, espresso-style dark roast caters beautifully to Latino coffee tastes. However, over its nearly century-long lifespan to date, Café Bustelo has come to encompass a diverse array of different roasts that are now a staple in households nationwide. Tasting Table tried and ranked 7 Café Bustelo ground coffee varieties based on uniqueness and flavor, and the best Café Bustelo variety, according to our taste test, is the medium roast.
In a move that challenges both quality control and marketing norms in specialty coffee, Pennsylvania-based roaster Passenger Coffee is releasing a high-end coffee harvested 10 years ago.
