New Year, New Coffee Tips
A new year means new sips! January is the perfect time to reset your routine and try something different. While resolutions can fade quickly, the key to building better habits is consistency! The truth is, habits don’t form in 21 days, the average is closer to 66.
That’s where small, intentional changes come in. Whether you’re refining your daily cup or exploring new flavors, here are a few coffee-forward resolutions to help you start the year strong.
Try Your Coffee Black
Drinking your coffee black lets the roasts’ flavors speak for themself. It can also have health benefits because you’re leaving out calories, fat, and sugar. Rather than reaching for the creamer or sugar, take your coffee to go without the extras! And pro tip, if you’re trying to ease into drinking black coffee, start with a lighter roast like our Lite Bite.
Drink as Much Water as You Do Coffee
Avid coffee drinkers, meet habit stacking. Pair a new habit with one you already do every day, like enjoying your morning brew. For every cup of coffee you have, drink a glass of water. It’s a simple switch that’ll become routine and help you stay hydrated without overthinking it.
Explore Different Origins
There is a lot of coffee out there! One of the best parts of coffee is how different it can taste depending on where it’s grown. Our own inventory is filled with beans from various origins. From Guatemala to Ethiopia to Colombia, and Brazil. Explore flavors from all different regions, find your favorites, and dive into a whole different world of coffee.
Not sure where to start? Our Sampler Pack is the easiest way to explore multiple origins and find your favorites.
Plus, you can always follow us on social to catch our Coffee of the Month. January’s pick is Sumatra Aceh, featuring notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and green grape.
Make Your Favorites at Home
There’s something special about crafting your go-to drink at home. Coffee made in the comfort of your own home is not only rewarding but it’s fun! Grab your favorite beans, a mug you love, and a few simple add-ins to get started. Recipes are everywhere, do a little research first to find your favorite ones! When all else fails, sometimes all you need is your favorite milk and flavor to make it your own.
Compost Your Coffee Grounds
This year, let your coffee habit do some good beyond the cup. Composting is a great way to keep food waste out of landfills. Start with your coffee grounds! Used coffee grounds are a beneficial addition because they are rich in nitrogen and make a great addition to most compost piles. It’s a small step toward reducing waste, and a great place to start if sustainability is on your resolution list.

Reach Your Goals with a Full Cup
As you make your New Year’s goals and resolutions, take your daily coffee habit into account. Think specifics! Goals like “two cups a day” or “trying a new origin each month” are easier to stick to than broad promises. However you sip this year, we’re here to make it mighty.
Here’s to a bold, flavorful, and caffeinated 2026.
