Coffee trends to look out for in 2023
Coffee is a popular beverage enjoyed by millions of people around the world, and it’s no surprise that there are always new trends emerging in the world of coffee. Here are some of the latest and most exciting coffee trends that are worth keeping an eye on:
Nitro coffee
Nitro coffee is cold brew coffee that has been infused with nitrogen gas. It is served chilled and has a creamy, foamy texture that is similar to draft beer. Nitro coffee has a smooth and velvety taste, and it is often served in a can or on tap, like beer. It is such a fun and novel way to enjoy coffee that we have no doubt people will wholeheartedly embrace it in 2023
Speciality coffee
Specialty coffee is a term used to describe luxury coffee grown at high altitudes that have been graded 80 or above on a 100-point scale by a certified coffee taster. This high-quality coffee is typically made with single-origin beans and is carefully roasted to bring out the unique flavours of the beans. More and more coffee shops tend to specialise in coffee with character as more and more people seek out high-quality, flavourful coffee so you are sure to see speciality coffee around in 2023
Sustainability
Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue in the coffee industry. Many coffee companies are now focusing on sourcing their beans from sustainable farms and strive to use eco-friendly practices in their production process. This includes using recycled materials for packaging and implementing energy-efficient roasting methods. 2023 will be the year of coffee sustainability.
Plant-based milk
Plant-based milk, such as soy, almond, and oat milk, has become increasingly popular as more and more people look for dairy alternatives, be it for health or ethical reasons. Plant-based milk is often used in coffee drinks, and many coffee shops now offer a variety of plant-based milk as an option for their customers. We are all accustomed to oat, soy and almond milk but we expect other milks will become popular. Delicious milks like hazelnut milk, cashew milk, coconut milk or even rice milk will take a bigger place on the coffee scene in 2023.
Cold brew
If you are a coffee fan, you must have heard of cold brew before. Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time, typically 12-24 hours. The resulting coffee is smooth and less acidic than regular coffee, and it has a distinct flavour profile. Cold brew is often served chilled, and it is a popular choice for iced coffee drinks.
Coffee subscriptions
Many coffee companies now offer subscription services that allow customers to receive delicious and high-quality freshly roasted coffee beans directly to their door. These subscriptions often allow customers to choose the type of beans they want and how frequently they want to receive them. This is a convenient way for coffee enthusiasts to ensure that they always have a supply of fresh, high-quality coffee on hand.
Overall, these are just a few of the exciting trends that we believe will be shaping the world of coffee in 2023. Whether you’re a die-hard coffee fan or just looking to try something new, there is always something new and interesting to discover in the world of coffee!
