With the introduction of its first liquid concentrate line, Nescafé is broadening its product line in the United States.
The concentrate lets customers pour, mix, and personalize their favorite iced espresso drinks without the need for complicated brewing techniques or pricey equipment.
Espresso Concentrate Black and Espresso Concentrate Sweet Vanilla are the two varieties of Nescafé Espresso Concentrate, which is made entirely of Arabica beans.
"After our successful launches of Nescafé Gold Espresso and Ice Roast, meeting these demands is a high priority, and Nescafé Espresso Concentrate does just that," stated Felipe Acosta, senior brand marketing manager at Nescafé. The company's first-ever liquid espresso encourages consumer innovation and enables modern, daring coffee lovers to quickly make café-style drinks from the comfort of their own homes without the need for additional equipment.
A 300ml bottle of Nescafé Espresso Concentrate makes about 20 cups of espresso when made according to the recipe. Starting in February, the product will be sold at retailers around the country.
