The product range responds to the popularity of cold coffee amongst Millennials and Gen Z, and starts off with ready-to-drink (RTD) cans that can be customized to the operators preferences. The range also features the 500ml bottled coffee concentrate and finally the three-liter coffee concentrate to work well for a variety of applications.

The popularity of cold coffee is set to continue to grow, fuelled by the influence of social media and we’re excited to be a part of the latest creativity and innovation in the coffee market.”
