Dispensed cold brew options are popular across all restaurant types
On the heels of ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee and iced coffee growth, cold brew coffee has become commonplace across the foodservice spectrum, according to “Office Coffee Service in the U.S.: Market Trends and Opportunities, 3rd Edition,” a report by market research firm Packaged Facts.
Iced coffee beverages broaden the coffee playing field, satisfying refreshment-based consumer needs by carrying the beverage well beyond its morning daypart stronghold. Cold brew’s promise of smoother taste and lower acidity—along with its premium positioning, higher price points, and enthusiastic younger consumers—build on iced coffee’s base and help keep the coffee market humming along.
