Want to try something new in the world of coffee, but also keep it local? These recommendations are for everything outside of the traditional brew, direct from our team of coffee drinkers.
Placebo (Decaf) – Madcap Coffee
I’m currently breastfeeding a caffeine-sensitive baby, but I love the ritual of grinding, pouring, and sipping good coffee in the morning. I want everyone to know about Madcap’s Placebo! It’s perfect for me, but also for folks who are cutting down on caffeine or want to enjoy an uncaffeinated cup with their dessert in the evening. One million out of ten recommend. – Emily Row, Director of Communications



Velodrome Portable Single-Serve Coffee
My partner and I love to go backpacking, and the Porcupine Mountains are one of our favorite destinations. The fresh air is life-affirming, but I still need a dose of caffeine each morning. Since I’m the only coffee drinker in our household, and we try not to pack in too much weight, these Velodrome portable single serves have been a lifesaver. It doesn’t get much better than a really good cup of coffee and a night in the woods. – Tricia Phelps, CEO
Superior Cold Brew (Coffee-Infused Michigan Pilsner)
Does this count? Doesn’t matter – we fell in love with this ‘brew’ after a stop in at Barrel + Beam this year. Perfect for brunch or campfires, this beer hits all the notes for both coffee and craft beer fans. You can certainly taste the coffee, but it’s a refreshing drink! – Claire Butler, Content Strategy Specialist
