Cworks - New Bundle Deals!

Hi ,

Kev here, and in case you don't recognize the email address, you might have missed my email a few days ago explaining that we're now sending all cworks.co.uk related emails from the cworks email address. 

As you'll probably know, cworks started out as a little project involving my fellow coffee botherers, who helped me to get started with a very small range of coffees.

We've come a long way in the past couple of years, and while a lot of coffee blog readers are also cworks customers, we also have growing number of customers who have found the website via other sources, who may be slightly confused when the emails come from kev@coffeeblog ;-). So hopefully this will help to avoid the confusion.

If you have no interest in the coffee from cworks,
 then you might want to unsubscribe from this list, which you can do simply by clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email.

You'll still get the Brew Time emails, unless you unsubscribe separately from that series.

By the way, if you've never tried coffee from cworks, and you want to find out what you're missing :-), just click here to have a look at the website, and on the left hand side on desktop, you'll see various filter options (just click "filter by" to see this on smartphone/tablet).

Here you can, for example, select a particular brew method (if you're a Sage coffee machine user, look for the "Sage coffee machines" filter box, and you'll see the coffees that we recommend for any Sage machine), choose between blends or single origin, select a particular origin, and particular certifications (Organic, Fair Trade).

So you should find it a really easy website to use to find your favourite coffee beans, and we have some stunning coffees in the range, just have a look at some of the reviews.

And to convince you to give our coffee a try...

Click Here & Use Code CWNC25 for 25% Off Your First Order!

So with that said, I'm emailing you today to announce the new bundle deals.

Check Out The New Bundle Deals

We noticed that there are certain combinations of coffees that are proving very popular together, so we thought we'd turn these into bundles so customers save some money, and time, when ordering these popular combinations. 

We've started off with the two most popular combinations, but there will be more bundle deals coming soon, so keep an eye out for them. 

To see the bundle deals, just click on the "bundle deals" filter box.

You can select 250g or 1Kg bags for each bundle, and you save over 10% on each coffee, but when you use your coffeebotherers discount code, the total discount grows to over 20% (in combination with the automated discount).

If you'd like to see a particular bundle deal, by the way, just hit reply and let me know.

Finally, while I'm here, just a reminder that the January special offer for subscriptions is still live, so if you've already found your perfect coffee, why not create a subscription, save 20% on your first subscription order, and then 15% on all other orders in your subscription?

You can change the frequency, pause or cancel your subscription at any time, no obligation to keep it for a certain period.

 

Use Code: EXTRA20 for Extra 20% off



Thanks ,

Kev

INSIDER WEEKLY
 
 
 
 

Hi, I'm Matt Turner, the editor in chief of business at Insider. This is Insider Weekly, a roundup of our top stories. 


On the agenda today:

Breaking news this morning: At least 10 people have died at a mass shooting at a Lunar New Year celebration in California, police confirmed to Insider. This is a developing story. Follow our coverage here.


Up first: I just returned to New York after a few days in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum. It was intense and informative, packed with meetings with business leaders and government ministers from around the world. I also moderated a panel about the industrial metaverse.

I posted a few videos and notes on LinkedIn, if you want a behind-the-scenes look at the meeting. I've also written a short dispatch about my takeaways below.

Dispatch from Davos

An arial view of Davos, Switzerland with less snow than usual.

More than 1,500 business leaders descended on Davos in the Swiss Alps last week. I was there to take it all in. After meetings with senior figures in business and government, plus panel discussions and dinner conversations, here are my tweet-length takeaways:

  • Sustainability: Climate change, sustainability, and the energy transition were front of mind. There's consensus on what needs to happen. But the "how" is still a work in progress.

  • AI: The viral popularity of ChatGPT has moved AI to the mainstream. Many marveled at the potential, some expressed concern over the risks, and Microsoft rivals gritted their teeth whenever the buzz came up. 

  • Economy: I sensed a subtle shift in the mood. The reopening of China and a potential thawing of US-China relations, plus signs of slowing inflation in the US, had attendees feeling a little less negative.

  • Future of work: The right approach to remote work is still a mystery. In the meantime, there are dire predictions for office buildings.

I'll be writing more on these topics in the coming days, so keep an eye out. And let me know if you have any questions about the mood among the business elite: mturner@insider.com


Tech's week from hell

Google CEO Sundar Pichai Interacts With Students At SRCC Campus in India.

It was a wipeout at Silicon Valley's tech giants this week. On Tuesday, Insider's Ashley Stewart broke the news that Microsoft staffers were bracing for layoffs; the company announced 10,000 cuts the next day.

And layoff news percolated throughout the industry the rest of the week. On Wednesday, Insider's Kali Hays reported that Twitter is bracing for more layoffs, and Alphabet on Friday announced 12,000 job cuts at Google.

Then, of course, there's Amazon, which kicked off its largest job cuts in company history on Wednesday, affecting a whopping 18,000 people. Upon hearing the news, many staffers went to Slack to cobble together what was going on and which teams would be impacted the most. Insider obtained a list of more than 35 Amazon teams that were affected. 

Inside the tech industry's brutal job cuts.

The rise and fall of Charlie Javice

Portrait of Charlie Javice on green background

Charlie Javice became a superstar in the world of finance when she was barely out of high school. But it all came crashing down — less than a year after selling her financial-aid startup, Frank, to JPMorgan for $175 million.

JPMorgan has slapped the 30-year-old entrepreneur with a massive lawsuit, claiming she defrauded investors by lying about the number of users on her service. In 2021, she claimed 4.25 million people were using Frank; in reality, it never had more than about 250,000 users. An Insider investigation reveals that Javice had a history of exaggerating her accomplishments.

No more working on Fridays

3d rendering of a building as a calendar

We just got the most convincing evidence yet that the four-day workweek is a positive change for employees. Thirty-three companies took part in a six-month trial of the policy — and all reported increased revenue and an improvement in employee well-being.

There were some other really interesting takeaways, like how small companies saw huge gains. One startup doubled its gross profits and productivity doubled over the trial period. 

More about the real-world experiment.

We're facing the biggest financial crisis in history

Kevin McCarthy

The US technically hit its debt ceiling this past week — and failing to raise it by summer could imperil the entire financial system. Trouble is, the new GOP House majority is using the debt limit as leverage to push through their policy priorities, like cutting spending on Democratic favorites like Social Security and Medicare.

This has happened before. Republicans averted a debt crisis three times under former President Trump, and again two years ago. But with a Democratic White House, the GOP is playing hardball.

What happens if America stops paying its bills.


This week's quote:

"Unfortunately, your role has been eliminated. You are no longer required to perform any work on Amazon's behalf effective immediately."
