Ready-to-drink coffees offer a convenient avenue for those with busy lifestyles to stop by their local convenience store and grab that 'Cup of Joe' right off the shelf. They also allow local coffee shops to sell their product outside the cafe. Partner with Flavorman to create a delicious and invigorating RTD Coffee and take this 'energizing' market by storm!

History
Ready-to-Drink Coffees
Famous for its invigorating properties, legends of the humble coffee beans' origin come from 850 CE Ethiopia, where an Arab goat herder was puzzled by the strange energy of his flock after consuming wild berries. Although coffee was popular for many centuries in parts of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, it wasn't until the 16th and 17th centuries that it was spread throughout Europe.
Modern coffee includes a myriad of cold brews, frappés, espresso drinks, and more. Today, you can bet that every neighborhood has a local coffee shop, if not multiple, within its streets. Thanks to social media virality, new coffee and espresso recipes trend daily, from the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Lattes to the Dalgona. This delectable blend makes RTD Coffees a truly evergreen beverage profile.
Key Considerations
- It's important to consider that coffee's pH is too high for typical preservation methods, making your options for large-scale manufacturers somewhat limited and more costly. However, our team can help you choose a copacker that prioritizes quality control.
- RTD coffees that are cream-based or contain creamer will have a shorter shelf life than those without.
- Do not be afraid to tap into trends and experiment with flavor profiles, methods, and alternatives to the typical coffee profile. For example, there have been trends surrounding using cascara, or the coffee cherry, as an innovative base for caffeinated beverages. Don't put yourself in a box!
