Wolfgang Puck's Newest Venture: Iced Coffee
Watch out, Frappuccino. There's a new iced coffee in town, and it's been created by world famous chef Wolfgang Puck. Amidst a nasty lawsuit, guest judging on Top Chef, and juggling his nearly 20 restaurants, the celebrity chef is rolling out a new line of ready-to-drink iced coffees.
Cook With Java on National Coffee Day
Good morning — and happy National Coffee Day! I don't know about you, but I've already had a cup (or three!) of Joe to celebrate what is, in my humble opinion, the world's greatest morning beverage. Still haven't had enough of the stuff?
Would You Drink Kopi Luwak Coffee?
In honor of today being National Coffee Day, I thought I'd ask all you coffee lovers out there how far you'd go for a good brew.

Starbucks To-Go Cold Cup Tumbler: Love It or Hate It?
Even before my afternoon stint as a barista, I was an enthusiastic fan of Starbucks. I go there on an almost daily basis, and often bring in my reusable Starbucks "to go" tumbler. When I first bought it, I had the manager at my local store use a Sharpie to scribble shorthand for my regular order on the side (genius!).
VIA Instant Coffee to Arrive in Starbucks Stores Nationwide
If you're a frequent or occasional instant coffee drinker, look out for a new kind of brew coming to a store near you. On Sept. 29, Starbucks will be rolling out its much-discussed instant coffee, VIA, in stores across the US and Canada.
Half Pint Creamer: Love It or Hate It?
Coffee with cream gets cheeky with this clear glass Half Pint Creamer ($15). It's molded to look like a cardboard carton of half-and-half but with a more sophisticated effect. Would you give it a pour?
My Afternoon as a Starbucks Barista
Chaotic as things may appear behind a Starbucks counter, every drink is made custom and to order in a systematic, organized way. I know this because I spent an afternoon as a Starbucks barista. Laurel Village Starbucks store manager Deanna Barbagiovvanni put me to work yesterday behind the espresso machines.

Starbucks' free pastry promotion may be over — but the coffee chain's slated to announce even more exciting news.
New York magazine reports that Project Runway winner Christian Siriano has plans to unveil a partnership with Starbucks for the upcoming holiday season.
Because further details about the collaboration have not yet been released — and news organizations have been barred from reporting them until Nov.
