The world’s largest coffee company globally has announced the launch of Nescafé Espresso Concentrate, which will soon be available in U.S. markets. Nescafé Espresso Concentrate is made with 100% Arabica beans and comes in a 300-milliliter bottle, which contains enough to make 20 cups of espresso.

Following the product’s successful launch in China and Australia last year, U.S. consumers can purchase this exciting new product at retailers starting in February. An exact product launch date has not been shared at this time. The concentrate product is easily dissolved in water or milk, allowing consumers to mix it with ice and water or milk and create customized espresso drinks at home.

In the U.S., Nescafé Espresso Concentrate will be available in two flavors:  Nescafé Espresso Concentrate Black and Nescafé Espresso Concentrate Sweet Vanilla, for those who like a touch of sweetness in their iced coffee. According to a recent press release by Nescafé, this innovation supports younger generations’ growing demand for cold coffee products. The press release cites that nearly one out of every three cups of coffee consumed outside the home is cold coffee. The brand hopes the release of the Espresso Concentrate will make it easier for consumers to make barista-style, personalized cold espresso beverages in the comfort of their homes.

Axel Touzet, Head of Nestlé Coffee Brands Strategic Business Unit, said: “Through the Nescafé Espresso Concentrate, we want to capture what younger generations of consumers are looking for: cold, convenient, customizable, premium coffee that brings the experience and taste they have outside their home to inside their home. We are enabling them to create café-style beverages instantly without any extra machinery.”

Podium Coffee Club launches first-of-its kind coffee subscription service
Coffee from the nation's top coffee roasters
Podium Coffee Club

Podium Coffee Club has made a grand debut -- delivering exceptional coffees only from roasters who have stood on the podium at the nation's top coffee competitions. This first-of-its-kind coffee subscription service is designed for coffee lovers who want the highest quality, freshness, and flavor delivered to their doorstep. Sam LaRobardiere, co-founder of Podium Coffee Club and certified Q Grader, noted that the company is "excited to launch what [they] think is the best coffee subscription on the market."

After competing with major coffee roasting competitors, Sam recognized the gap in the market for subscribers who want the best coffee in the nation. From this idea, he founded Podum Coffee Club with co-founder Paul Pigott. The brand is focused on three things that set it apart from other coffee subscription services on the market. Firstly, the brands included in the subscription are only from the top 1% of the nation's talent. Secondly, coffees are shipped within 24 hours of roasting to ensure the optimal freshness for every brew. Lastly, Podium Coffee Club does not require a long-term commitment by subscribers, giving them the flexibility to adapt the subscription to their needs. Paul said the ability for customers to cancel at any time puts the "pressure on [them] to send subscribers amazing coffee consistently."
