With Father’s Day right around the corner, here are some fun and funky gifts we’re sure those special dads in your life will love.
trücup Coffee
Who doesn’t love a good cup of coffee? Well, a lot of people don’t, but those who do know that as we get older (aging like fine wines, of course) sometimes the acid or the caffeine can be less-than ideal. A low-acid brand like trücup (in either regular or decaf) can help with that problem, while leaving all the flavors and aromas. trücup’s low-acid options use a natural steam process to remove the things that can be harmful or painful for some people’s stomachs, like those who have acid reflux, GERD, IBS, or about a zillion other stomach issues. With bold or mild, espresso, and other choices, there’s at least one that’ll tickle Dad’s fancy. Visit https://trucup.com to choose your dad’s favorite roast.
