2. Coffee Trends: Cold Brew
Cold brew coffee remains the strongest coffee trend in the market. It’s a sweeter, less acidic blend of coffee that requires about twice the amount of beans to make. Made at room temperature with cold water, the drink is served from a brew tap, which has made it easy for bars to capitalize on the trend as well. Mintel reports that the cold brew coffee segment grew 580% between 2011 and 2016, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. As coffee trends go, cold brew is hot. Redcup can bring a cold brew coffee tap to your office for a premier office coffee experience.
3. Coffee Trends: Savory Pairings
The bitter taste of coffee has always paired well with sweets—cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits—the sweeter the treat, the more engaging the pair to your palette. However, with the sweeter coffee like cold brew, suddenly pairing coffee with more bitter flavors is the rage.
4. Coffee Trends: Signature Coffee Drinks
Your barista may know your usual coffee order, but the hotter coffee trend is original, barista-inspired signature drinks. These drinks take a little longer to make but are worth the wait. By leveraging the creativity and coffee expertise of the barista making them, the signature coffee drink is creating coffee-hour groupies. How great would it be if your office had a signature coffee drink? Redcup can create a signature coffee drink for your office and make sure you have all the ingredients on hand for employees to make it themselves.
5. Coffee Trends: Espresso Tonics
Mixing espresso with a shot of tonic water is one of the lesser known coffee trends. Admittedly, it’s not as hot as the cold brew, but it’s made our list because it’s growing in popularity. In fact, if you search Instagram for the hashtag #esspressotonic, thousands of posts come up. Who knew?
We did.
If you are not faint of heart, we can bring tonic and an espresso machine to your office. Who knows. Maybe your espresso tonics will be your new office rage.
