You’ve tried Dalgona coffee, now it’s time to try the latest on-trend beverage – Golden Milk! Sounds intriguing, right?! This drink is a concoction of turmeric, coconut milk, raw honey, Himalayan pink salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together, and you have your Golden Milk concentrate. The concentrate can be added to your milk of choice and served warm or chilled. Why turmeric?
I can’t help myself but continue to chat about coffee; today I want to focus on brewing methods. A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that coffee drinkers who drank filtered coffee were 15% less likely to die over a 20 year period.
As many of y’all know I have a lot of love for coffee. It’s probably the caffeine that makes me so happy, but what’s even more awesome is that a new study from Denmark found that drinking coffee makes people more sensitive to sweet flavors and less sensitive to bitter flavors. The study, led by researchers at Aurhus University, looked at the immediate effects of coffee consumption on olfactory and gustatory sensitivity of 156 participants.
What if I told you that PET plastic could one day be broken down to food-grade material in just a few hours? Drum roll please… well it potentially can exist! PET plastic, which is the most commonly used polyester plastic on Earth, has long been utilized because of its temperature endurance, ability to keep products fresh, and its affordability.
Dalgona coffee is super on-trend, so I just could not help myself but share some more instant coffee recipe ideas that’ll sweeten up your taste buds! Real quick – Dalgona coffee (as it’s known in South Korea) is a whipped mix of instant coffee, sugar, and water. This week I found some more inspirational ideas to share. First up: chilled Nutella coffee (because spreading Nutella on toast is just not enough), which blends instant coffee, milk, Nutella, sugar, and vanilla extract together to make a morning fuel-up.
The best relationships in life are those that take years to build. Learning how someone thinks, how they communicate, and what they value are the rewards of loyalty and invested time. When I spoke with Seattle BDM Kevin Clark this week, I couldn’t help but reflect on the quote, “What comes easy won’t last, what lasts won’t come easy.” In many ways the work of a BDM is marked by the same longevity as a lifelong friendship; two parties overcoming obstacles with the other’s best interest at heart.
Meet Christopher Hendon – a Computational Materials Chemistry professor and a “resident scientist” for specialty coffee.

In the last 40 years, Aramark Refreshment Services has evolved into a vibrant representation of the best the refreshments industry has to offer. One thing that has stayed the same during that evolution, is Shelby Blue-Lindgren, BDM from San Diego.
What’s the latest internet craze? Nothing other than dalgona coffee (named after a Korean candy,) aka “whipped coffee.” It began on TikTok several days ago, and now millions of views later, it’s a craze. Yep. Dalgona coffee is the opposite of a latte, so instead of whipping milk then pouring over espresso, you whip the actual coffee. Intrigued? Yah, same here.
One of life’s simple pleasures is putting in an honest day’s work. This week, I had the opportunity to meet Jesse Allen, Route Sales Manager from Tidewater of the Central Virginia market center while he was loading his truck from a route run. One thing I always admire about the RSM’s I talk to is their willingness to get their hands dirty and lead by example. Jesse is no different.
