A must need for me…Coffee!

I believe that most Moms love coffee! Cambio Roasters, led by former Keurig® Chief Innovation Officer Kevin Hartley, is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking aluminum coffee pods. This innovative shift from plastic to aluminum represents a significant advancement in sustainability and coffee quality. The aluminum coffee pod addresses the environmental crisis caused by the 40 million plastic coffee pods that end up in landfills and oceans every day, offering a more eco-friendly and high-quality alternative.

When commenting on the urgency of such a huge transition, Hartley commented, “There’s no sense in compromising the quality of the world’s best organic coffees, expertly roasted and curated, by placing them in a plastic vessel that’s porous. Our landfills are growing at an alarming rate, and the timing is perfect to introduce recyclable aluminum pods. That’s why Cambio is committed to transitioning away from single-use plastics and towards sustainable alternatives.”

Plastic coffee pods are notoriously problematic for the environment, with only 3% of them being successfully recycled into new products. In contrast, aluminum is infinitely recyclable and retains over 60% of the aluminum ever produced in circulation. This makes aluminum a superior choice for both sustainability and recycling efficiency.

Moreover, traditional plastic pods are inadequate at preserving coffee freshness due to their porous nature. Aluminum pods, however, provide a nearly perfect oxygen barrier, ensuring the coffee maintains its intended freshness and flavor from roast to brew. This innovation not only enhances the coffee-drinking experience but also aligns with Cambio Roasters’ commitment to quality and sustainability.

Along with this innovation, Cambio only features 100% organic coffees carefully selected from small farms around the world. And, as always, Cambio donates 20% of its profits to Food 4 Farmers, who work closely with coffee-farming families struggling with food insecurity often for more than 6 months per year. According to Hartley, “This innovation is so exciting because it’s better for coffee, better for the world, and better for you. We hope this helps you fall in love with your Keurig® all over again.” In addition, Cambio announced its new partnership with 4Ocean, founded by two surfers with a mission to eradicate plastic from the world’s oceans.

Cambio Roasters is excited to offer its new aluminum pods in over 1,000 retailers nationwide, including Harris Teeter, Giant Martin, Hannaford and Walmart, as well as through their official website and Amazon, allowing coffee lovers across the country to enjoy a better, more sustainable coffee experience.

CASEKOO created a phone case called “Watering Spring.” It will make you smile!

CASEKOO, a pioneer in innovative phone accessories, is thrilled to announce the launch of its highly anticipated Spring Collection. This new series of phone cases is more than just a product line—it’s a celebration of nature, a call to environmental action, and a testament to the power of incremental change. At the heart of the collection lies the thoughtfully designed “Watering Spring” case, a masterpiece that blends artistry, functionality, and a deep commitment to sustainability.

The “Watering Spring” case is a visual ode to rejuvenation and the boundless energy of spring. The design features a verdant green watering can, symbolizing life and growth, as it transforms into a vessel of abundance. From its gracefully curved spout flows not just water, but the spirit of spring itself—birds soaring in freedom, mammals leaping with joy, and flowers blooming in a symphony of colors.

Birds: Adorned in soft pastels and vibrant hues, they represent freedom and the return of warmth.

Mammals: Intricately detailed, they exude playfulness and vitality, captured in mid-leap as if frozen in a moment of pure exuberance.

Flowers: With delicate petals and lush greenery, they embody growth and the timeless beauty of life’s cyclical dance.

Together, these elements create a harmonious tableau that feels alive, as though the scene is in perpetual motion, pouring forth the boundless energy of spring.

It’s really beautiful! Mom will love this phone case! Positivity is so important right now and this will bring happiness. It’s available for the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Find it and others at https://casekoo.com/

Moms will love glasses! I love the ones I received to try out from GlassesShop.
