Kenco is expanding its Iced/Hot coffee range with two new products: the Whipped Americano Frappe and Creamy Latte, both designed to be served hot or cold.
The launch aims to tap into growing demand for at-home, café-style coffee experiences, particularly among younger consumers.
The Whipped Americano Frappe is the first of its kind in a sachet format in the UK, according to Kenco. It features an aerated texture and a thick crema designed to mimic the look and feel of a Nitro Cold Brew. The Creamy Latte joins Kenco’s existing range, offering consumers the option to enjoy the drink either hot or iced from a single box.
Kenco cited rising popularity of iced coffee and consumer preferences for convenience as key drivers for the launch. According to the brand, 84.5% of under-35s have purchased a cold beverage in a coffee shop in the past year, while nearly a third of consumers are looking for easier-to-make products at home.
The move comes as the in-home frothy coffee category continues to grow, with Kenco reporting 17% growth across its specialties range, including the recently launched Millicano Speciality tins.
The new Iced/Hot sachets is available launch in Tesco for an RRP of £1.99. Wider rollout to Sainsbury’s and Morrisons is scheduled for August, with Asda to follow in November.
