This New Espresso Machine Gives You Homemade Third-Wave Quality Coffee in Just Minutes

Tell us if this situation sounds familiar: you wake up to your alarm and realize you have just enough time to get prepped for everything you need to do for the day ahead. You are on schedule, but there’s one problem: you cannot accommodate a few extra minutes to make your own coffee. Now this is an absolute emergency because what kind of coffee lover can survive without having a cup (or two) of caffeine to fuel them for the rest of the day, right? Not you.

If you face this kind of dilemma often, you’re probably one of those who always fall back to their favorite commercial coffee chain for their daily fuel. It’s quick and uncomplicated, after all. The taste and quality though? Well, that’s something that might be a hit-and-miss.

Any coffee lover who is serious about their love for the drink often finds themselves torn between their need for a quality cup of joe and the time and knowledge that they have to make one. But what if we tell you that you can now enjoy both? Even better, you can easily experience the best of both worlds in just one premium espresso machine.

The product DNA of this new model was specially made for those who want their coffee good and fast. It is equipped with the Thermojet Heating System that provides optimum extraction temperature in three seconds so you don’t have to wait. With a single touch of a button, this espresso machine also delivers the perfect amount of coffee that is packed with maximum flavor.

Breville Media Day.

Quality-wise, the Barista Pro delivers cups that can rival any cafe. You can expect to enjoy full-bodied sips laced with rich and complex flavors that can only be achieved by having a perfect dose of 18g of freshly ground beans from a professional 54mm stainless steel portafilter. Be ready to experience opulent, creamy, and caramel-colored shots of espresso delivered from low-pressure pre-infusions and a high-pressure 9-bar extraction process from a 15-bar Italian pump. Silky, velvety microfoam milk is created by its powerful steam wand, too.

Quality, convenience, and expertise. These are three things you can expect from the Breville Barista Pro which was made for the no-fuss coffee enthusiast. If you’re ready to experience a new era of coffee enjoyment—one that is on your terms and own timing—then this is the perfect product for you to bring home.

Lanson Place Mall of Asia set to drive economic growth and opportunities in the PH

MANILA, Philippines – Strategically located near shopping, entertainment, and business hubs in the city, the soon-to-open Lanson Place Mall of Asia with 389 units designed for both long and short stays and offering a range of dining outlets, is set to become a must-visit destination offering unparalleled “bleisure” experience, as well as effectively aligning itself with a national initiative of fostering economic growth and community development.

The property presents prime business opportunities with tremendous growth potential for both the surrounding area and local communities. This is reinforced by the project having generated 185 positions during pre-opening, and is expected to reach over 220 once operation begins. This team is almost exclusively Filipino, emphasising the positive impact of the project on the local community and the number of local jobs created.

In addition to contributing to the country’s labour market, Lanson Place is committed to supporting local businesses and leaving a positive impact on the Philippine economy. By partnering with local suppliers, vendors, artists, and talents, Lanson Place embraces the unique cultural richness of the Philippines to complement its status as a world-renowned hotel and serviced apartment brand.

Redefining authentic hospitality

Lanson Place stands out by offering an oasis of calm, where guests can find genuine human connection and a sense of belonging. The team at Lanson Place genuinely cares about the well-being of each guest, seeking to make their stay not just comfortable but also transformative through their different facilities, services, and staff interactions.

“The true success of Lanson Place Mall of Asia lies in the unwavering dedication of its exceptional workforce and the unparalleled service they provide to every guest. Beyond the bricks and mortar, it is the thriving community spirit fostered by the staff that sets this establishment apart. Their commitment to being devoted hosts creates an environment where guests feel welcomed, cherished, and truly at home,” said Laurent Boisdron, the Vice President and General Manager of Lanson Place Mall of Asia.

The management team has provided several training and development programs to help their staff adjust quickly and work efficiently. This includes initiatives like new systems training and sustainability programs anchored with SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. Additionally, the property will periodically accept internships or partnerships with schools to better support the local community in the future.

Boisdron shared that a key aspect in their partnership approach for collaboration between the property and local suppliers is their affiliation with SM Central Procurement.

Reducing carbon footprint; increasing partner footprint

The local partnerships and collaborations promote sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance sourcing and supporting the livelihoods of local businesses and artisans. This approach contributes to the economic growth and well-being of the community, creating a lasting impression beyond the hotel itself.

Additionally, partnership with the Lanson Place brand gives small businesses networking advantages and a platform to showcase their products and services. These can serve them well in the future, considering this entails growth, recognition, and sustainability in the local market. The property also promotes mutually benefiting partnerships, and stresses transparency and proper ethics are practised for every partner.

Once Lanson Place Mall of Asia opens its doors to the public, guests will be greeted with genuine warmth and personalised service expected from the Lanson Place brand. The property will have 247 hotel rooms, 142 serviced residences and amenities like a state-of-the-art fitness centre and rooftop infinity pool. It will also boast an exceptional dining experience at Cyan Modern Kitchen, Lanson Place Mall of Asia’s signature restaurant. With a delectable menu crafted by skilled chefs and a warm and elegant ambience, Cyan Modern Kitchen will be the perfect venue for memorable dining moments.

While the complete hotel opening is yet to come, introductory offers for stays are currently available. For stays booked between 2 October to 30 November 2023, guests can enjoy an exclusive advanced booking offer.

6 tips to make the best of your mobile data

Over the years, mobile data has truly become essential in the daily lives of Filipinos. Many rely on their phone’s mobile data connection for work, education, livelihood, and entertainment. In this era of countless apps and data-heavy activities, understanding your data consumption can empower you to save and maximize your usage.

  • Choose the best data promo

Globe has the best data promos for your needs, regardless of your budget. If you are budget-conscious and want to make the best of your data for streaming, learning, earning and other activities, try Go50 with 5GB data for all sites and unlimited all-net texts for P50, valid for 3 days. If you’re willing to splurge a bit more, go for Super Xclusive Go+99 with up to 10GB for all sites, 8GB for your choice of apps, and unlimited all-net texts for P99, valid for up to 8 days. Both promos are available on the GlobeOne app.

  • Check how you use your mobile data

Data usage is largely behavioral. If you are a heavy streamer, whether it be videos, music, or games, your data consumption will inevitably be higher than a recreational or casual user. Make sure you keep yourself in check when browsing.

  • Be conscious of usage while video-streaming

High-resolution videos in applications may lead to more data consumed. The higher the quality of the video, the more data it would likely require. Make sure to adjust the video quality in apps like Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, Tiktok, and Zoom to conserve data. To get a sulit deal for streaming sites, you can register to Go+99 with GoWATCH to get 8GB for all sites, plus 8GB for video apps, and unlimited all-net texts, valid for 7 days.

  • Control app updates

Automatic app updates and other app activities may consume a significant amount of data. Turn on your phone’s Low Data Mode (Android) or Data Saver (iOS) to stop automatic app updates and other activities from using your mobile data.

  • Know your data limit

Keep in mind that it’s possible to exhaust all your data before the end of your promo period depending on usage. Some customers might think that their data, such as 5GB under Go50 on GlobeOne, will last for 3 days, and are surprised when it gets fully consumed before the validity ends. You may keep track of your data usage using the GlobeOne app.

  • Know where to get help

If you have concerns about data, you may access GlobeOne app and go to the Help section. GlobeOne is your digital life companion.

“Putting our customers first, we recognize the importance of every megabyte of data, and more so, the value of the money they spend on it. We believe every byte matters! Actively listening to their browsing experiences forms a vital part of our service improvement. We hope that this information serves as a valuable tool for our customers, enabling them to make the most out of their data without any worries,” said Aileen Burgos, head of Customer Experience.

Stay connected, stay informed, and enjoy your browsing experience with Globe and TM! Visit https://www.globe.com.ph/ to know more.

Amiya Raya transforms the landscape in San Mateo, Rizal

Manila, Philippines — When the pandemic brought the world to a grinding halt, people began craving for life in wide open spaces. Many started looking for a property just outside of the metro, where they can spend time outdoors with family yet still feel part of a safe and health-enhancing environment. Community Creators, Inc. took on this challenge and invested in a master-planned resort community surrounded by nature in San Mateo, Rizal – Amiya Raya.

Taking from the beautiful landscapes, calming seascapes, and enriching forest lands all around them, Community Creators, Inc. (CCI) drew their inspiration from the idea that God Himself is the first Developer – transforming the vast nothingness into the perfect natural world humanity has been blessed with. This was always the starting point when breaking ground on new developments. CCI saw this opportunity to be a transformer of land, a builder of homes, and a creator of sustainable communities as their privilege and life’s work. Not just for now, but also for generations of families to come.

CCI has been in the real estate development business for 18 years – conceptualizing, developing, and selling close to PhP3.0 billion in both “lot only” and “house and lot” inventories. These are spread out over six property developments situated in the east of Metro Manila – in and around Rizal and Bulacan. Four of these have been fully completed – Monte Brisa and Fiorenza in Rodriguez, Rizal, and Valle Rosa and Altana in Malolos, Bulacan. Their two developments in San Mateo – Amiya Raya, and Shanti Condominium – are works in progress. CCI has strived to deliver to the market, real estate properties that are of premium quality yet on price points that are budget-friendly.

Artist render of Amiya Raya Homes.

Of all the developments of CCI, Amiya Raya is the largest in land area, with 567 units spread across an impressive 36 hectares. CCI envisioned it as a place where you can “invest in your dreams, and wake up every day seeing them all come true.” It boasts of a 270-degree panoramic view of the Metro Manila skyline, Laguna De Bay, La Mesa Dam, Manila Bay, and nearby mountain ranges. On most days, one can enjoy dramatic and stunning sunsets on the property. Amiya Raya is meant to be a sanctuary for those who want to escape the hectic pace of city life and be surrounded by nature, just a mere 15-minute drive away.

Amiya Raya also finds itself in the burgeoning nature adventure hub Rizal province has become. Hiking trails around the area, ranging in difficulty for beginners and seasoned hikers, have become a popular weekend adventure among the younger set and families. Camping and glamping sites nearby are also a big draw for barkadas craving for a unique staycation. Amiya Raya picked up from these much-loved activities in its overall design, mimicking the resort and nature park feel that these experiences deliver on.

CCI keeps to the highest standards in all its developments. This aligns with their core belief that the families who choose their properties deserve nothing but the best – in design and quality.

From 2020 Vision to ‘A New Contemporary’: ManilART’23

The country’s national art fair proudly announces its milestone 15th year with the theme “A New Contemporary.” ManilART’23 will be held from October 11 to 15, 2023 at the SMX Aura Convention Center, Taguig City.

 

This marks the culmination of a series of themes that ManilART explored over the most recent years, emphasizing the legacy and tradition of Philippine art, while embracing new perspectives and the incorporation of new media.

Leading up to this milestone and beyond

In 2020, the art fair faced the year’s unprecedented challenges head-on with the theme 2020 Vision for a Future Reimagined, ready to take on the country’s evolving artistic landscape. In 2021, Continuing Legacies highlighted the art fair’s journey as a platform for the arts, celebrating tried and tested methods and paying homage to the artists behind its success. And in 2022, Forging Futures captured the spirit of progress as the fair began to navigate a post-pandemic world, ushering in a new era of artistic exploration.

This year signals “A New Contemporary” as ManilART continues its commitment to excellence, built upon each iteration of its evolving journey–bridging traditional and contemporary, providing a space for an ever-expanding spectrum of old and new media expression in the visual arts.
