ROK Coffee and SugarBean for Java Aficionados

If you find yourself getting bored with the same plain coffee and candy, we’ve found a fantastic duo of exciting brands to add flavor and flare to your daily dose.

Press Smartshot

Some of the best moments happen over coffee, especially espresso. For the espresso lovers out there, if you want to make café-quality home espresso the amazing Press Smartshot by ROK Coffee has you covered. Requiring no electricity and very little effort, this revolutionary contraption is a huge upgrade from your standard pod machine. As soon as you take your first sip you will notice your coffee is more textured and richer in flavor.

How It Works: The ROK Coffee manual lever forces hot water (that you’ll add) through coffee grounds, brewing espresso, and you can brew one or two shots at once with a detachable spout. It can be used with or without a pressurized basket, depending on whether you want more control over your grind. Acclaimed for its elegant and stylish design, what I especially love about the Press Smartshot is that it is compact so it doesn’t take up too much space.

Super simple, you don’t need to have extensive barista skills to make a satisfying cup. Just spoon in the coffee of your choice and squeeze down the lever arms. Eco-friendly, Press Smartshot is available in Soft Teal, Warm Grey, and Black. For coffee you can actually look forward to head HERE.

SugarBean Coffee Bean Brûlée

Based in Oregon, SugarBean Coffee Bean Brûlée is a delectable award-winning candy that combines premium Arabica caramelized ground coffee beans with sugar to create a crunchy texture reminiscent of the top of a crème brûlée.

Available in multiple strengths which include single, double, and triple shot options and a variety of scrumptious flavors, SugarBean is the ideal snack when you need a quick pick-me-up or garish for ice cream, desserts, or drinks! Always produced in small batches that emphasize quality and artisanal methods, find your bold flavor HERE.
