Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deconstructed Vanilla Lattes And Post Brew, A New Way To Fight Coffee Breath
Q: So tell me what the formulation is. Like it's a special, it's not just like a Altoid. It's you got stuff going on in it, pH balances. Tell me more about that.
The mint uses baking soda, xylitol, and coconut cream powder as active ingredients to balance coffee acidity, aid gum health, and provide a smooth finish, making it additive to the coffee experience rather than distracting from it.
Would You Like Sugar, Cream, Or Water Minerals With Your Coffee Sprudgecast?
Q: Did you get to tour any of the other halls? Did you get to try any futuristic gelato? Did you see any butter sculpture competitions?
