U.S. Liquid Coffee for Foodservice Application Market: Recent Developments
- In July 2022, Keurig Dr. Pepper announced the launch of Intelligentsia K-Cup pods for its Keurig brewing system to capitalize on the growing demand for specialty coffee in the United States. Intelligentsia K-Cups are available in two flavors: House and Organic El Gallo, and can be purchased for 90 cents per pod in a 60-count box from Keurig.com.
- In April 2021, plant experts created a new generation of low-carbon coffee varieties. The two new Robusta species produce up to 50% more yields per tree than regular variations. Because more coffee can be produced with the same amount of land, fertilizer, and energy, the CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) footprint of green coffee beans can be reduced by up to 30%.
- July 2022, Keurig, Bold Coffee, and BLK partnered with the new K-Cup Pod. This partnership agreement made the significant black-owned coffee brand available to 36 million households along with a Keurig brewing system.
- February 2021, Finlays started to offer cold-brew soluble coffee. The company introduced its cold-brew soluble coffee in 2021. It is available to consumers at national retail stores and food service chains and is consumed by all age groups, from baby boomers to Gen Z.
