Summary:
The Manual shifts focus to specialty coffee and luxury spirits
Why It Matters:
The site is moving away from general fitness and grooming news to focus on high-end lifestyle hobbies like specialty coffee, rare bourbon, and luxury watches.
What Changed:
- Added a featured guide on mass-market vs. specialty coffee.
- Added several new articles on high-end spirits, including $300+ bourbons and limited-edition Thai rum.
- Added new product reviews for luxury items like Ralph Lauren Olympic gear and Swiss-made Alpina watches.
- Removed a large amount of older content related to fitness studies, grooming tips, and general health news.
- Updated the homepage layout to prioritize "post-sneaker" fashion and specialty coffee makers.
