Make your Irish Coffee with Volcanica Coffee!

We’re too late for Saint Patrick’s Day this year, but it’s never too late to enjoy an Irish Coffee! So try out these tasty recipes.

VOLCANICA COFFEE’S IRISH ESPRESSO MARTINI RECIPE

1.5 oz of Irish Whiskey
½ oz of coffee liqueur
½ oz of Bailey’s Irish Cream
2 oz of cooled espresso using Volcanica Coffee’s Café Cubano Miami Espresso Blend

Instructions:

  1. In a shaker glass, pour in your ingredients. Fill with ice and shake until shaker is frosty.
  2. Strain into martini glass.

VOLCANICA COFFEE’S IRISH COFFEE RECIPE

1½ to 2 oz (45 to 60ml) Irish whiskey, to taste
4 oz (120ml) fresh-brewed Dark Roast Costa Rica Nespresso Coffee Pods
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 oz (60ml) heavy cream, very cold
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill the cups with hot water to warm them up.
  2. Whip the cold cream until thick, but not stiff; it should still be able to run off of a spoon. Set aside. Tip: The key to success for whipped cream is to keep it very cold, so put your whisk and a stainless steel bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before.
  3. Pour the warm water out of the coffee mugs. Fill ¾ full with coffee, add the brown sugar and stir well until dissolved. Add a few drops of coffee into the whipped cream and stir to combine.
  4. Add the whiskey into coffee and stir to combine.
  5. Hold a spoon upside down over the coffee, the tip touching the glass edge and the surface of coffee. Gently pour the cream over the back of the spoon, allowing it to gently pool on top of the coffee; filling to the top of the mug. Do not stir. You should obtain a lovely layering that looks like a pint of Guiness!
  6. Using a stenciled shamrock, sprinkle cocoa powder over the cream to make a beautiful drawing.

Nutpods Plant-based creamer

I wanted to fill you in on nutpods, the plant based creamer that has zero sugar and adds the perfect taste and texture to your morning coffee routine. nutpods exists because their CEO, Madeline Hayden saw that plant based creamers and non plant based creamers were loaded with sugar. Madeline wanted to simplify the ingredient list for a coffee creamer, and nutpods was established.

STEEPED COFFEE “PACKS FOR GOOD”

For the holidays and beyond, Steeped Coffee, known for its simple award-winning brewing method that has become the standard for single-serve specialty coffee, is proud to announce the launch of its PACKS FOR GOOD program (steepedcoffee.com/packsforgood).

The new ongoing PACKS FOR GOOD initiative helps support a growing list of charities through partner pages on the Steeped Coffee website using a giving code, where Steeped gives back 20% of all sales as a donation to each non-profit to support their mission.

To kickoff PACKS FOR GOOD Steeped Coffee is shining light on the current growing hunger crisis right here in America affecting our communities and neighbors by donating to Feeding America. To show support, use code FEEDINGAMERICA at checkout and Steeped will donate 20% of total sales to Feeding America and its member food banks.

“We know that access to nutritious food is essential for a healthy lifestyle. Yet many people across the country may not know where they will find their next meal and the pandemic further exacerbates this issue,” said Blake Thompson, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Feeding America.

As the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief and food rescue organization, Feeding America is a network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs that provides food assistance to more than 40 million people annually. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Feeding America estimates that more than 50 million people could be food insecure in the United States this year, including 17 million children.

Steeped, Inc., a Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corp has a double bottom line of Purpose Beyond Profits. “We are always looking for ways Steeped can serve as a positive force for good,” said Josh Wilbur, CEO and Founder of Steeped Coffee. “PACKS FOR GOOD lets us generously give with 20% to meet the moment now and into the future as a vehicle for other organizations.”

Steeped Coffee is one of the only brewing methods that doesn’t require a machine, grinder, or special equipment to prepare premium coffee. Brewed similar to tea, Steeped Packs only need water to make a fresh cup of barista approved coffee. Each pack contains hand-roasted ground coffee that is nitro sealed for freshness in fully compostable packaging. The company’s proprietary brewing method bypasses any risks of using a communal coffee pot and has quickly been adopted by hundreds of the nation’s top coffee roasting companies and brands.

“There is no doubt we’ll never forget these times, but it’s what we do for others, even the small things, that will be remembered,” says Wilbur. “As a startup in these crazy times, Steeped is looking to do anything within reach to make a difference and encourage others to do the same. We know that every small act will all add up to make a big difference.”

In March, Steeped also launched the “Stay Home, Stay Steeped” campaign to encourage customers to stay home by providing free home delivery on all coffee, cups, kettles, and gear. The offer has been extended indefinitely and aims to help those adjusting to new rituals at home, and routines while working from home.

In April, Steeped, Inc. also launched “You Give, We Give” (steepedcoffee.com/yougivewegive), a campaign to help fuel and lift the spirits of frontline doctors, nurses, firefighters, police, and first responders as they battle the COVID-19 crisis. “You Give, We Give” invited people to gift Steeped Coffee Packs to those on the front lines, with Steeped matching all gifts, pack for pack, and providing free weekly deliveries directly to the hospitals, stations, and clinics where they’re needed most. The program was featured on the Ellen Show as well as by several celebrities and over 70,000 packs have been donated across the country.

Fire Dept. Coffee

Work Hard, Sip Often with Fire Dept. Coffee
Strong coffee pairs with strong values in this veteran owned business.

Fire Dept. Coffee is a newly launched coffee brand on a mission to serve their country and community with the easiest drinking coffee you’ll ever have.

The company was launched by Luke Schneider, a Navy veteran turned firefighter paramedic, and Mark Williams, a combat vet turned firefighter, with a mission to serve, unite, and give back.

“Fire Dept. Coffee believes in the bonds created between people when sharing the mutual responsibility of selfless service to Nation and Community,” explains Williams. “The bonds created by service members and firefighters is unique, strong and loyal. Our brand looks to foster similar relationships with customers, business partners and employees. FDC will always put our team before lesser objectives like profits and numbers.”

Each batch is roasted to order, ensuring every cup is as fresh and flavorful as possible for when it’s needed most.
They offer three distinct roasts:
· Original — This medium roast is the perfect way to start the day.
· Dark Roast — Made with organic beans from fair-trade farms, its deep flavor hits the spot.
· Bourbon Infused – The perfect vehicle for one’s favorite bourbon, whiskey, or cream based liquor after a long hard day on the job.

In order to do even more good in their communities, Fire Dept. Coffee donates portions of their sales to military and fire service related charities.

“In the 25 years of combined military and public service, the team at Fire Dept. Coffee has always fostered the idea of charity. Whether big or small, it is the right thing to do.” Said Schneider. Fire Dept. Coffee continually runs campaigns and events to raise money, awareness and improve relationships with charity organizations that promote veteran outreach, the fire service and the people they serve.

All military and first responders receive 15% off every order. Additionally, Fire Dept. Coffee also offers a 10% discount to those who subscribe to their program, as well as free shipping on all orders over $50.
