What's inside

Ten sections. Same order, every Sunday.

An issue is built like a paper, not a feed: you always know where you are, and it always ends. The whole thing takes about a dozen minutes.

  1. The Week, Weighed

    The five stories that actually mattered, each in three sentences: what happened, why it matters, and the one thing worth watching next. No live updates, no push alerts, no fourteenth take.

    5 stories · 3 sentences each

  2. Under the Radar

    One real story the algorithms buried — the kind that never trends and turns out to matter a year later.

    1 story the feed skipped

  3. One Long Sip

    A single curated longread, chosen for a slow morning. Never a list of ten. Just the one worth the second cup.

    1 longread, hand-picked

  4. The District

    What Washington actually did this week: a Supreme Court decision, a bill that moved, an order that got signed — explained in plain terms, minus the horse-race. The decisions that follow you home, wherever home is.

    Courts · Congress · the pen

  5. The Grind

    The week in five numbers: the S&P 500, the Dow, bitcoin, the 10-year Treasury and the 30-year mortgage — each with what it did since last Sunday, the day it was measured, and where we got it. Numbers, not advice.

    5 numbers · dated · sourced

  6. Extra Shots

    Three or four stories from the beats the front page skips — sports, science, music, medicine, the arts, faith, engineering, tech — rotating week to week, each wearing its category cup.

    3–4 stories · rotating beats

  7. The Bloom

    New medicine, approved and dated — what the FDA, the European Medicines Agency and Health Canada actually authorised, who it was approved for in the regulator's own words, and the page you can check it on. Approvals, not advice.

    regulators only · never AI-written

  8. In Your Cup

    This month's roast in a paragraph, plus one small change to how you brew it. Better coffee, one Sunday at a time.

    Roast note + 1 brewing tip

  9. The Percolator

    One evergreen idea worth turning over, and one fun fact with a link to where we read it. Smarter every Sunday — the part of the issue that isn't about this week at all.

    1 idea + 1 sourced fact

  10. The Last Drop

    A closing delight — something odd, lovely, or quietly funny. You should finish the issue in a better mood than you started it.

    One good thing to end on

The Week, Weighed · Story 3 of 5

A rate decision everyone expected, and a sentence nobody did

The committee held, exactly as the futures market had priced in for a month, and the vote was unanimous for the third meeting running, which together make up the least newsworthy sentence available in financial journalism. The surprise sat in the second paragraph, where the language describing the pace of future cuts quietly lost a qualifier it had carried since winter — one word, removed from a document that is edited the way a treaty is edited.

Under the Radar

The rule change that drew forty-one public comments

A rulemaking docket closed on Thursday to almost no coverage at all. It rewrites where one category of consumer complaint gets counted, and complaint density is what decides where the inspectors go. For about two years nothing will look like it went wrong.

The Last Drop

The lighthouse that has been mailing itself postcards

A keeper started it as a joke on a slow Friday in the seventies. The postmark is still stamped by hand every week, by people who never met him, and the stack now stands taller than the lamp-room door.

That's the issue · See you next Sunday

Read the full sample issue

Illustrative sample — the stories above are invented to show the shape and length of a real issue.

The other half

New bag Saturday. First pour Sunday.

A newsletter is only half the ritual. The other half is fresh-roasted coffee that arrives before the weekend does, so Sunday starts with a full cup and something worth reading next to it.

Roasted to order
Every bag is roasted for the week it ships, never pulled off a shelf.
Timed to Sunday
New bag Saturday, first pour Sunday — the coffee and the issue arrive together.
Readers first
The store opens to the Sunday list before it opens to anyone else.

Opening soon

First pour goes to readers

There is nothing to buy on this page yet. When the first roast is ready, the Sunday list hears about it before the store goes public.

Behind the issue

How we do it

  1. Harvest

    We read the whole week so you don't have to: two dozen sources, from the wire services to the corners the algorithms bury.

  2. Draft

    Our AI editor writes the first pass, and every factual sentence must carry a receipt — a citation checked against the source, by machine, before a human ever sees it. No source, no sentence.

  3. Edit

    A person edits every word on Saturday night and locks the issue by 10pm. The AI writes the draft. It never gets the last word.

Everyone promises to filter out AI slop. We'd rather show you exactly where the AI is — and exactly where it stops.
