No Postage Necessary 

An Uplifting Film About Second Changes at Love and Life

Available on Digital Download Now 

 Blu-ray and DVD October 2nd

Hot on the heels of its trailblazing Blockchain release, Two Roads Picture Co. have announced that indie dramedy No Postage Necessary will be available on Blu-ray and DVD October 2, 2018. An ardent tribute to love and redemption, No Postage Necessary is “a sweet and heartfelt movie” (Mind on Movies) to which audiences can immediately relate, suggesting no one is as good nor as bad as we think and that we can chose to change our own destiny. The Blu-ray comes filled with behind the scenes bonus content, while both the DVD and Blu-ray editions feature the music video for film track “Talk About Love” - performed by No Postage Necessary star Charleene Closshey.

Directed by Jeremy Culver (Radical Kindness) and starring George Blagden (Les Misérables) and Charleene Closshey (An Evergreen Christmas), No Postage Necessary is “stunning in its sincerity,” and “exudes a simplicity and quiet authenticity” (The Independent Critic). The film was shot in Tampa, Florida, the filmmakers' hometown, on Kodak 35mm film and is a unique reflection of the Gulf Coast city and neighboring communities with an Americana vibe “as good as your granny’s apple pie” (Irish Film Critic).

Wrong decisions seem apparent for Sam (Blagden), a convicted computer hacker, whose single, jaded and barred from using the Internet. Forced to crash on his brother's couch, he makes ends meet by working at the local Twistee Treat and stealing mail while disguised as a postal worker. Then, a single pink envelope changes everything. Handwritten by a heartsick Josie (Closshey) to her late husband and fallen Marine, the tender missive awakens something in Sam. Desperate to be worthy of such love, he conspires to meet the beautiful, young war widow, longing to become a better man. As the two grow closer, she warms to the idea of a new chance at love, but not before Sam's past comes knocking in the form of an FBI agent looking for missing bitcoins.

BONUS FEATURES EXCLUSIVE TO BLU-RAY
● “Talk About Love” Music Video - featuring Charleene Closshey
● Behind the Scenes - An up close and personal look at the making of this wonderful film with its Cast and Creatives, including discussing the groundbreaking use of blockchain technology in its distribution.

Celebrating National Coffee Day With Melitta Coffee #melita

Melitta Coffee is taking a look back at their century-long commitment to innovation, spurring from founder, Melitta Bentz, the inventor of the pour-over. In fact, every time you take a sip of drip coffee it’s a nod to Melitta Bentz, who revolutionized the process back in 1908 when she invented pour-over coffee. We’ve come a long way since she first punched holes in a brass pot, took a piece of paper from her son’s notebook and created the first two-part filter system.

We’re excited to share some helpful tips on behalf of Melitta Coffee – everything your readers will need to enjoy that delicious coffee shop experience right from the comfort of home. Follow along, and a great cup of coffee (or two or three) is just a mug away.

  

Brewing Tips:

So, what’s the secret to a really great cup of coffee? Melitta’s got a few simple tricks to help perfect your brew-at-home skills:

1.    Buy coffee weekly or bi-monthly. Once opened, ground coffee begins to stale in about 24 hours. To slow this process, store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place.

2.    For the fullest flavor, buy (or grind your own) extra fine grind coffee. When using finer grinds, it’s possible to use less coffee due to higher extraction levels. We recommend 2 level teaspoons per 6 ounces of water.

3.    Use paper filters to effectively trap bitter sediments. Cone shaped filters allow for full saturation of the grounds, but all good, quality paper will ultimately enhance the final cup.

4.    Drink coffee as soon as possible after brewing. If left on a burner, the coffee will continue to cook and starts to degrade in as little as 20 minutes.

5.    For the single-serve coffee drinker, never sacrifice flavor and quality for convenience. Be sure to buy eco-friendly, as well.

The 411:

We are huge Keurig coffee drinkers. We are always in a hurry so we love the convenience of a K-Cup for a cup of coffee that we can run with. All that being said, I was raised on Grandma, peculated  coffee and really miss that sometimes. For those days when I have a ton of time I use my Grandma's old Pecolator.  Honestly, there is nothing like it! It is by far the best. BUT...we can't always do it. Come on who has time for that, plus you need to wait by the stove to make sure it doesn't spill over or burn. The other day I received one of the new Melita Pour Overs. It is perfect for work. They have a Keurig there but I hate using it. It is only good for one cup and I am not sure if they clean it out so I took my Pour Over in with some filter and Melita's Cafe de Europa Classique for a almost as good as percolated coffee. It smelled amazing. My co-workers who came in all commented on the smell.

Boil some water. At home I use a small pan and at work I put a cup in the microwave. While that is happening I place the ceramic pour over on top of your cup, place a filter inside it and fill with coffee I will use. Then pour the boiling water over it and drink! It is easy and I love that I am contributing to making myself a cup of coffee that tastes amazing.

Great Christmas gift idea or hostess gift. You will find this on my upcoming Holiday Gift Guide.

Recently, the brand released two new vintage-inspired products, the Signature Series Pour-Over and the Heritage Series Pour-Over Set.
