Elevating Coffee to New Heights

DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF

At DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF, extraordinary coffee is more than just a tagline – it's a way of life. Created amidst the majestic Swiss Alps during founder Nick Visconti's pro snowboarding days and now nestled in the heart of Lake Tahoe, this specialty coffee company believes that the key to unlocking a coffee's true potential lies in its mountain origins and the artistry of roasting at high elevation.

By procuring beans from high-altitude regions across Latin America, South America, Northeast Africa, and Indonesia, DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF ensures that their coffees are grown in the most optimal conditions for maximum flavor and complexity.

But sourcing from the mountains is only half the story. The true magic happens at DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF's roasting facility, perched at an impressive 6,000 feet above sea level in Lake Tahoe. Here, they leverage the unique advantages of high-altitude roasting to consistently achieve the hallmark of their coffee roasting style: maximizing sweetness and revealing origin characteristics.

DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF

At higher altitudes, the reduced atmospheric pressure allows the sugar caramelization phase of roasting to begin sooner and be maintained longer. This results in coffees that are exceptionally sweet and less bitter, showcasing the distinct flavors and nuances of each bean's place of origin. By masterfully manipulating these high-altitude roasting conditions, DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF's skilled roasters coax out the inherent sweetness and unique character of every coffee they craft.

The proof is in the cup. From the smooth, caramel-like sweetness of their signature blends to the bright, fruit-forward notes of their single-origin offerings, every coffee tells a story of its mountain roots and the artistry of its high-elevation roasting.

When you're savoring a cup at home or on the go, you can enjoy the extraordinary flavors born from DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF's commitment to high-altitude sourcing and roasting. With each delicious sip, you'll taste the difference that elevation makes in crafting a truly exceptional cup of coffee.

Unbeatable Benefits of Swedish Dishcloths

Swedish Dishcloths: Cute or Creepy

If you're looking for a cleaning tool that's eco-friendly, effective, and easy to use, look no further than the Swedish dishcloth. These versatile cloths have been a staple in Scandinavian homes for generations, and for good reason.

Swedish dishcloths are made from a combination of natural cellulose and cotton fibers. This blend creates a durable, absorbent, and biodegradable cloth that can tackle all sorts of cleaning tasks in your kitchen and beyond.

How to Use Swedish Dishcloths

Using a Swedish dishcloth is a breeze. Simply wet the cloth, wring out the excess water, and get to work. They're great for wiping down counters, washing dishes, cleaning up spills, and even polishing appliances. Swedish dishcloths can be used over and over again, making them a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to paper towels and disposable sponges.

Caring for Your Swedish Dishcloths

Caring for Swedish dishcloths is just as easy as using them. After each use, rinse the cloth thoroughly and wring out the excess water.

Swedish Dishcloths: Hole-punch tip
Here's a handy tip: cut a small X or punch a hole in the corner of the cloth to make hanging it up to dry a snap. This little trick helps your dishcloth dry quickly, preventing bacterial growth and extending its lifespan. 
For a deeper clean, you can toss your Swedish dishcloth in the washing machine or the top rack of your dishwasher.

The Eco-Friendly Choice

One of the biggest advantages of Swedish dishcloths is their eco-friendliness. These cloths are 100% biodegradable, meaning they'll break down naturally at the end of their life cycle. 

Get the Most Out of Your Swedish Dishcloths

  • Use your dishcloth slightly damp, not soaking wet, for the best cleaning results
  • Hang your dishcloth to dry completely between uses to prevent bacterial growth
  • Cut your dishcloth in half for smaller cleaning tasks
  • Replace your dishcloth when it starts to show signs of wear, usually after a few months of regular use

Give Swedish dishcloths a try in your home and see how they can revolutionize your cleaning routine.

Fall in Love with Delicata

Delicata Squash

As the leaves start to change color, our farm is harvesting one of autumn's most delightful offerings: delicata squash. This gourd, easily recognizable by its cream-colored skin adorned with green stripes, has become a welcome addition to fall harvests. You'll typically find delicata squash available from late summer through fall, perfectly timed to inspire comforting seasonal meals as the weather cools.

What sets delicata apart from other winter squash is its thin, edible skin. It simplifies preparation and adds to its nutritional value. The flesh inside the squash offers a delightful sweet and nutty flavor that can appeal to a wide range of palates.

Delicata Squash

In the kitchen, delicata proves incredibly versatile. One of our favorite methods involves slicing it, lightly coating it with olive oil, adding some maple syrup, and roasting until golden. For a more substantial dish, try stuffing halved delicatas with a mixture of grains and vegetables. Some creative cooks even incorporate roasted slices into salads, adding a sweet crunch and visual appeal to leafy greens.

Beyond its delicious taste, delicata squash boasts impressive nutritional benefits. It's rich in vitamins A and C, providing a healthy dose of antioxidants. Plus, its high fiber content makes it a satisfying addition to meals!

We recommend storing delicata squash in a cool, dry place for one to two months. There’s no need to refrigerate it.

Whether you're an experienced cook or new to the kitchen, delicata squash can be an accessible and rewarding dish to make; its manageable size and easy preparation make it ideal for weeknight dinners. Consider giving delicata squash a try–it might just become your new seasonal favorite!

Winter wellness is a balancing act of trying to stay active during the limited daylight hours, rain, cold and snow, while eating nourishing in-season root veggies and citrus and avoiding the cold and flu bugs being passed around!
