    I Tried Underground Cellar’s Gamification Tech for Online Wine Shopping

    Not all of us are lucky enough to have a wine cellar within our homes to store bottles at the perfect temperature, humidity, and darkness. Most of us don’t casually reach for a $70 bottle of wine. A Napa Valley-based company called Underground Cellar is looking to change that. Through its e-commerce platform, users can…

    Review: BEERMKR Makes it Easy to Make Beer

    The fact that I hate beer either makes me the worst person to do a review of the BEERMKR countertop home brewing system or the best person to do such a review. On the one hand, I can’t tell the difference between “good” beer and “bad” beer because IPAs, stouts, lagers, and what have you…

    I Cooked With the BonBowl for an Entire Week and Now I’m Attached

    I’m simultaneously the best and worst person to write a review of the BonBowl, a newly released personal induction cooker designed to make single-serving meals in about 15 minutes or less.

    When I worked as a barista, my absolute least favorite drink to make was a pour over. Essentially a single-serving cup of coffee made individually, the process was fussy and usually took five minutes, which held up the line and stressed me out. Coffee design company ESPRO has developed a new single-serve coffee brewer called…

    Vejo Review: The Pod-based Connected Blender Falls Short on Taste and Value

    During quarantine, with most of us turning to comfort food and relying on shelf-stable ingredients, it can be hard to eat all your fruits and vegetables. Which is why I was intrigued by Vejo, a blender and pod system that claims to make getting those recommended daily nutrients easier. So I took them up on…

    Enrichables Powdered Protein and Kale Packets Let You Make Any Meal “Healthier”

    If I had my druthers, I would eat mac & cheese for dinner several times a week. However, since I’m adult and know that’s not exactly a healthy dietary choice, I usually opt for a more balanced meal. But what if I could health-ify my mac & cheese? That’s the promise that offered by Pampered…

But I, and it seems like a lot of other people, are now stopping by the BK Lounge to try the new plant-based Impossible Whopper. We’ve been watching Burger King roll out its Impossible…
