The coffee industry is facing a crisis due to climate change, with rising temperatures and extreme weather threatening yields. Ed Hoehn, COO of Atomo Coffee, explains how coffee is following the path of industries like citrus and cocoa, exploring the challenges ahead and potential solutions for ensuring a sustainable future for coffee. The coffee industry is racing towards a cliff. There is nothing controversial about this statement, unless you’re trying to avoid an inconvenient truth. Climate change is impacting both the quality and quantity of coffee yields due to rising temperatures, variable extreme weather events and heightened pest activity. This trend will reduce suitable land for coffee growing by up to 50% over the next 25 years. This means less coffee beans, higher prices and supply shortages. Consider the citrus and cocoa industries, which are a bit ahead of us on the impact of climate-ruined supply chains. Those same supply chain and price curves are headed for us as an industry and consumers. There are plenty of well-meaning initiatives to help turn some corners on the legacy challenges our industry has perpetrated (and the marketing to make sure everyone knows we are trying). Those initiatives should continue. But there is a solution here, right now, that doesn’t require us to destroy any more wild habitats, doesn’t hurt coffee farmers or lose supply and ultimately consumers. It doesn’t replace coffee, but partners with it for a better / secure / affordable / tasty coffee-filled future. Bridge to sustainability The solution is a unique 50:50 blend, a ‘bridge to sustainability’. It combines traditional coffee beans with beanless coffee made from upcycled, farm-sourced and superfood ingredients. By blending conventional coffee with this eco-friendly option, all brands can reduce their environmental impact while delivering the flavour and quality that made them household names. The production process of this beanless coffee starts by identifying the key compounds in other farm-sourced ingredients that contribute to the distinctive flavours and aromas of coffee. These compounds are then derived from sustainable, natural sources like date pits, lemon and sunflower seed extract which come together to essentially recreate the green coffee bean profile. The ingredients are then roasted to craft a perfect cup of coffee delivering an identical coffee experience all the way down to the molecular level. More importantly, it gives the coffee industry a fighting chance by: Increasing the number of farmers supporting the coffee industry by growing other natural ingredients that make great coffee Partnering with coffee bean farmers to continue producing what they can without destroying more wild habitats Creating extraordinary 50:50 blends that change the game on taste and affordability that consumers can enjoy in every format they prefer Meeting consumer demand Environmental benefits aside, the 50:50 blend also addresses growing consumer demand for eco-friendly options. Consumers today are more focused than ever on making choices that help protect the planet. With growing awareness about climate change and the impact of everyday purchases, people are looking for products that align with their environmental values. Coffee, as a daily staple, is no exception and many consumers want to know that their morning cup is part of the solution, not the problem. They want options that contribute to reducing deforestation and lowering carbon emissions. For these consumers, choosing sustainable coffee is a simple but meaningful way to support a healthier planet, showing that even small shifts in their buying habits can contribute to a larger environmental impact. Better together The future of coffee relies on our industry’s ability to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. Coffee has long been more than just a morning ritual or an afternoon pick-me-up, it's part of daily life for millions around the world and a cornerstone for farmers and businesses in many regions. But as climate pressures increase, so does the urgency for sustainable practices. The good news? We already have innovative solutions, like Atomo Coffee’s 50:50 blend, designed to help reduce coffee’s environmental footprint while still delivering the quality and flavour people love. Now, it’s up to the big players to step up and lead the way. Major coffee brands have both the power, the tools and a willing partner to help lead this transformative journey. Their influence can set new standards across the industry, showing smaller companies and coffee growers that there’s a path forward that respects both consumer demand and the planet. We’ve invested considerable time, resources and research to develop this breakthrough. The groundwork is laid, and the opportunity is now. All that’s left is for these major brands to take that next step, embrace collaboration and lead coffee into a more sustainable future. #AtomoCoffee

Welsh bottled water brand, Ty Nant, has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of Fonthill Water and Decantae Mineral Water from Primo Water Corporation. According to Ty Nant, the acquisitions aims to expand its market presence and product range. The purchase of Decantae introduces new packaging innovations to Ty Nant's line-up, including cuplets for travel retail and healthcare, alongside its existing glass and PET bottles, broadening Ty Nant's market appeal and accessibility. Meanwhile, Fonthill Spring Water, sourced from the historic Fonthill Bishop Estate in Wiltshire, adds a naturally filtered, high-quality British water to Ty Nant’s portfolio. The deal expands Ty Nant’s geographical reach, introduces 15-litres bottles for the watercooler market and targets commercial, educational and healthcare sectors. Raminder Sidhu, chairman of Ty Nant, highlighted: "Our commitment to sustainability, innovation and exceptional customer service aligns perfectly with the ethos of Decantae and Fonthill. These acquisitions are pivotal in our vision to grow our diversified super-premium adult beverage group, where each product carries a deep sense of provenance, alongside our commitment to premium and sustainable offerings." Sidhu added: "We are poised for an exciting year continuing the tremendous growth we have experienced for the last four years. We will continue to innovate across our portfolio. We're introducing aluminium bottles and cans as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional packaging and refreshing the 'contemporary classical' look for Llanllyr Source. Moreover, we're set to launch new flavours from our award-winning Kings Hill small-batch gin distillery in the Pentland Hills, Edinburgh and we are expanding into ten new export markets." #TyNant #PrimoWater

Adapt, a new functional beverage start-up founded by neuroscientist Michael Vicary, has launched a line of drinks aimed at enhancing mental performance and promoting relaxation. This launch reflects a broader trend in the F&B industry towards health-oriented products as consumers increasingly seek alternatives to traditional caffeine and alcohol for stress management. Adapt's offerings include two initial products: Adapt Focus, which combines lion's mane mushroom, Korean ginseng and ashwagandha to support cognitive clarity without caffeine; and Adapt Relax, featuring reishi mushroom, passion flower and magnesium to aid relaxation and improve sleep quality. Both formulations are designed with clinically-proven ingredient levels, distinguishing them from many existing functional drinks that often use minimal amounts of active compounds. The launch comes at a time when mental health concerns are rising. Recent studies by McKinsey highlight that 77% of individuals regularly experience stress-related physical symptoms, and over 50% feel their productivity is declining. Additionally, 44% of professionals report using alcohol to cope with work-related stress, indicating a significant market opportunity for healthier alternatives. Vicary's background in neuroscience informs the company's focus on evidence-based formulations, which aim to provide tangible benefits rather than relying on the placebo effects often associated with trace ingredient levels in other products. This approach is particularly relevant as consumers become more discerning about the efficacy of functional beverages. The functional drinks market has seen an influx of products that claim to enhance cognitive performance through various adaptogenic ingredients. However, many of these options have been criticised for perpetuating reliance on quick fixes rather than addressing underlying issues related to stress and productivity. Adapt's products will be available through select boutique independent stores and direct-to-consumer channels, with plans to expand the range further in early 2025. As the demand for functional beverages continues to grow, Adapt's focus on scientifically validated ingredients may resonate with health-conscious consumers looking for effective solutions to modern-day challenges. #Adapt

Prime Drink Group has announced its intention to acquire Beach Day Every Day, a player in Québec's ready-to-drink beverage category. The acquisition, outlined in a non-binding letter of intent, supports Prime's strategy to expand its portfolio with high-growth assets and work towards ambitious revenue goals. Beach Day Every Day has established itself the ready-to-drink segment, reporting unaudited annual sales exceeding $30 million for the fiscal year ending 2023. This acquisition not only positions Prime to capitalise on Beach Day's existing market presence in Québec but also opens avenues for expansion across Canada and into the US, where the market potential is approximately 30 times larger than that of Québec. Olivier Primeau, founder and president of Prime Capital Investments and chief brand and innovation officer at Prime, commented: "The addition of Beach Day Every Day allows us to integrate a premium brand that aligns with our growth objectives. This move is expected to significantly contribute to our revenue streams and enhance our market position." The transaction is valued at $22.5 million, comprising a cash payment of $12.5 million and an additional $10 million to be paid through the issuance of common shares at a deemed price of $0.25 each. As part of this acquisition process, Prime will conduct due diligence and negotiate a definitive agreement by January 31 2025. The agreement will include conditions such as the completion of a concurrent financing round aimed at raising a minimum of $12.5 million to support the cash portion of the acquisition. This financing is expected to involve the private placement of common shares and will be conducted under applicable Canadian securities regulations. The transaction has raised interest in the broader beverage industry, particularly as consumer preferences continue to shift towards ready-to-drink options, a segment that has seen robust growth in recent years. Industry analysts suggest that brands like Beach Day Every Day, which capitalise on convenience and quality, are well-positioned to thrive in this evolving market landscape. The acquisition is classified as a 'related party transaction' due to shared ownership among certain executives, prompting compliance with regulations designed to protect minority shareholders. However, it is anticipated that the transaction will not trigger formal valuation requirements, given the scale of the deal relative to Prime's market capitalisation. As Prime Drink Group targets an ambitious goal of reaching $100 million in annual revenues, this acquisition marks a pivotal step in its growth trajectory. The integration of Beach Day Every Day is expected to enhance Prime's competitive edge in the beverage sector, reflecting a broader trend of consolidation in the industry as companies seek to diversify their offerings and expand market reach. #PrimeDrinkGroup #BeachDayEveryDay #Canada

Private label coffee roaster Lincoln & York has invested £1 million in a high-speed manufacturing line at its Brigg, North Lincolnshire, England, roastery, aiming to double its business by 2026. The company, which is said to be 'one of the UK’s largest independent roasteries', roasts over 9,000 tons of coffee annually and serves more than 150 customers across 32 markets, including high street coffee chains and retailers.   The £1 million investment follows over £4 million in upgrades over the past decade, including a new 600kg roaster in 2014, a high-speed packing line and new warehouse and storage facilities. The company has also invested in a new coffee lab and innovation space, where its team develops 'bespoke blends' and ensures quality control. Ian Bryson, managing director at Lincoln & York, commented: “Over the last 30 years we have invested over £20 million in the business to ensure we have the capability and capacity to scale, grow and adapt with our customers’ businesses, while delivering consistent quality across our roasting, blending and packing. When the UK coffee market exploded in the 1990s, we were ready to meet a rapidly increasing demand and today, as the number of coffee shops continues to grow, investing in our roastery remains a key priority.   “However, our investment goes beyond equipment, and extends to our employees and their futures too. We now have 90 employees at Lincoln & York and we’re proud to have three of the UK’s 135 coffee Q Graders, the coffee equivalent of a sommelier, on the Lincoln & York team. We also regularly invest in consumer insight, including conducting our own independent research, to support our customers with their business goals, meaning we are a trusted coffee partner rather than just a coffee supplier.”   #LincolnandYork

In the dynamic flavour market, Gen Z emerges as a powerful force reshaping the food and beverage landscape. Operators and suppliers must navigate this terrain with agility, leveraging trends to captivate this discerning audience. As the quest for heightened flavours intensifies, Gen Z presents both challenge and opportunity, urging the industry to embrace innovation and diversity. Shannon O’Shields, VP of marketing at Rubix Foods, offers insight into Gen Z’s impact on the industry. Driving and increasing traffic is often cited as one of the top concerns for restaurant operators, with 87% of quick serve restaurants (QSRs) saying that this is a major challenge, according to Datassential. However, this challenge also brings a major opportunity to drive new traffic, and 75% of QSRs also agree that attracting new customers is critical for growing sales in 2024. So, how can operators accomplish both? With a firm focus on Gen Z. This generation of nearly 70 million flavour-curious 12- to 27-year-olds represents 20% of the US population and has a growing disposable income of $360 billion. While sticking to a budget may be important to them, they’re unphased about opening their wallets for the right restaurant. A quarter of Gen Z consumers are expected to eat out more in the future, the highest of any generation. That alone is reason enough for operators to narrow in on this demographic, but winning with Gen Z will require tapping into the most influential trends faster, presenting a unique challenge to operators and suppliers alike. Diverse offerings for a diverse generation Gen Z is the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in US history, so it’s no surprise that this demographic is more drawn to globally-inspired flavours and cuisines. With 22% having at least one immigrant parent, food emulating their cultural backgrounds garners attention and incites nostalgia. These concepts drive frequent dining occurrences, too, with 1 in 5 Gen Z surveyors reporting that they eat globally-inspired foods weekly. Gen Z’s awareness of global foods at the inception phase of Datassential’s menu adoption cycle (where all trends begin) is growing – up 15% in 2023 compared to 2022. The familiarity with diverse cuisines at inception like African, Costa Rican, Australian and even global mashups like Japanese-Peruvian are the highest among this generation. Developing a menu with an intentional and diverse range of exotic flavours will give operators a unique advantage with this audience. New flavours in familiar formats Gen Z has an experimental palate. 44% said they love trying new foods and the more unique, the better. However, about half of Gen Z wants these newer concepts prepared in familiar formats. To strike the balance of being trendy yet approachable, menu developers should introduce these new, global flavours in recognisable applications, think salsa macha on tacos, a tajin rim on margaritas or a piri piri sauce on a chicken sandwich. And if you really want to win with Gen Z, be prepared to bring the heat! Gen Z is leading the way with their excitement for spice. Flavours like ghost pepper, Carolina reaper, chilli oil and gochujang are all projected to grow significantly over the next four years. Limited Time Offers (LTOs) are a great way to introduce these experimental flavours to the menu, by featuring them in well-known, much-loved concepts like wings, nuggets or fries. Not only do LTOs like this drive incremental traffic and enhance the purchase intent among Gen Z, but they also give operators the chance to test the flavour before making it a permanent fixture on the menu. Innovation at the speed of social Trends overall are accelerating in consumer adoption but sauces, flavours and spices are where operators have seen the most promising gains and where they should focus when introducing new flavours to their menu. Gen Z’s awareness of inception-level trends in the last year suggests that they are not only in touch with what is trending before it becomes mainstream but also setting the trends – quickly. We have social media to thank for that. Social media channels like TikTok have a significant impact on Gen Z’s purchasing decisions. Surpassing Google as their preferred search engine, TikTok is where Gen Z goes to seek inspiration and share experiences, many of which are food-related. #FoodReview videos have become a TikTok phenomenon, amassing more than 160 million weekly views, with 60% of that viewership coming from 18- to 24-year-olds. Operators who are nimble enough to capitalise on trends at the height of their virality – and before the next new trend swoops in – will have a leg up in the battle for Gen Z’s attention and wallet. How operators can win Gen Z So, how can operators take viral trends off newsfeeds and onto their menus? Embrace new flavours : Whether these flavours are globally-inspired, off-the-chart spicy, the subject of a new TikTok trend or a classic twist to familiar formats, operators must embrace the new flavours and menu trends that Gen Z is inspiring. Invest in an LTO strategy : LTOs attract new customers, drive traffic, grow profits and are a key tactic for testing new flavours before giving them a permanent place on the menu board. Develop for off-premise : Delivery and to-go are vital to modern-day restaurants. Developing new concepts that can withstand an off-premise environment will be critical to capturing the thumbs-up from Gen Z. Speed to market : Partner with suppliers who can support the short product development timelines needed to take viral trends off newsfeeds and onto menus before the opportunity is missed.

In the coffee industry, a label transcends its role as mere packaging - it's a potent tool for communication. Amber McConnell, owner of Sticker Mountain, delves into the art of coffee label design, revealing how every detail, from striking colours to captivating imagery, shapes consumer choices and brand identity. She examines how contemporary labels are adopting sustainability and transparency to resonate with today’s values, and explores how emerging global trends are redefining coffee packaging for the future. Have you ever wondered why you choose one coffee bag over another amid the crowded shelves of your favourite store? It’s not just about the coffee beans; it’s the allure of a well-crafted label. This often-overlooked aspect of packaging plays a significant role in influencing our swift purchase decisions. Essential elements for designing an impactful coffee label In this feature, we will review the following design elements: Colour psychology:  Explores how different colours in coffee packaging influence consumer emotions and purchasing decisions, and how shifts in colour schemes can significantly impact sales and brand perception. Typography and imagery:  Highlights the critical role of typography and imagery in establishing a coffee brand’s identity, enhancing authenticity and fostering consumer trust through visual storytelling. Sustainability and traceability:   Discusses the growing consumer demand for sustainable and ethically sourced coffee, emphasising how eco-friendly labels and detailed product information can increase brand loyalty and consumer engagement. Global trends and regulatory impact:  Examines how global consumption trends and regulatory environments influence coffee label design, with a focus on adapting to demographic preferences and compliance with health and environmental regulations.   The colour psychology in coffee packaging Neuroscience reveals that colour choices on packaging profoundly influence our emotions and purchasing behaviours. Red, known to evoke energy and urgency, can trigger impulse buys, especially for energising coffee blends. In contrast, black packaging, which suggests luxury, often attracts those seeking premium coffee, linking darker hues with high quality. Beyond these, green often signifies organic or eco-friendly products, appealing to health-conscious consumers. Real-world examples abound where brands have shifted their colour schemes with significant impacts on consumer perception and sales, illustrating the powerful role that colour plays in aesthetic appeal as well as communicating brand values and product characteristics.   Expanding on the influence of colour, blue tones often convey a sense of calmness and reliability, which can attract consumers looking for a comforting, everyday brew. Additionally, yellow and orange hues can evoke feelings of happiness and enthusiasm, potentially appealing to adventurous consumers interested in exploring exotic or flavoured coffee varieties. Incorporating case studies, such as a brand that introduced vibrant yellow packaging for a new tropical-flavoured coffee and observed a spike in interest and sales, can further highlight how strategic colour use can directly influence consumer preferences and buying behaviour. This nuanced understanding of colour psychology enables brands to craft packaging that resonates deeply with their target demographics, making colour an essential tool in the competitive landscape of coffee marketing.   Typography and imagery: Crafting a brand's narrative   Typography and imagery go beyond mere decoration; they are pivotal in establishing a coffee brand's identity. Elegant, traditional fonts may draw those appreciating artisanal quality, whereas modern sans-serif fonts attract a younger, trendier demographic. Imagery that showcases the coffee's origin, like pictures of coffee cherries or landscapes, enhances the brand's authenticity and fosters consumer trust. The psychological impact of these visual elements can be substantial, conveying a brand’s personality and ethos without a word spoken, making typography and imagery essential tools in the marketer’s arsenal.   Further exploring the strategic use of imagery, some brands incorporate elements that tell a story of sustainability and ethical sourcing, such as icons representing fair trade certifications or images of farmers. This visual storytelling can profoundly resonate with consumers who prioritise ethical practices in their purchasing decisions. Additionally, the integration of unique, culturally specific elements can appeal to niche markets, creating a sense of connection and exclusivity. For example, a brand might use traditional patterns or motifs from a coffee's country of origin as a design element on the package, thereby celebrating its heritage while distinguishing it from competitors. These thoughtful details can significantly enhance the narrative, deepening emotional engagement and strengthening brand loyalty. Embracing sustainability and traceability    With rising consumer awareness around ecological and ethical issues, the demand for sustainable practices in the coffee industry is stronger than ever. Brands are now employing eco-friendly labels made from biodegradable or recycled materials to reflect their green initiatives authentically. Furthermore, technological advancements in packaging materials that combine sustainability with consumer appeal are setting new standards in the industry. A report by FMI and NielsenIQ highlights that nearly two-thirds of shoppers are willing to switch brands for ones that provide more comprehensive product information. This transparency is a necessity for today’s informed consumers who value ethical sourcing and environmental stewardship.   The push for transparency is shaping consumer behaviour significantly. Detailed labels providing insights into the coffee’s origin, plant type, and farming methods cater to an informed audience that values ethical sourcing. QR codes and dedicated webpages on labels offer a transparent window into the coffee's journey from farm to cup, deepening consumer trust and engagement. Consumer education through these methods not only enhances transparency but also builds a narrative that consumers can partake in, fostering a deeper connection with the brand.   Global trends and consumer shifts    As the coffee industry evolves, so do global consumption trends. Different regions have varied responses to label designs due to cultural preferences, regulatory requirements and market maturity. Generational shifts are evident as millennials and Gen Z show distinct preferences in label design, often favouring minimalist and environmentally friendly packaging over more traditional designs. These demographic and regional nuances are crucial for brands aiming to capture a broad audience in a globally connected market.   Regulatory environments also play a crucial role in coffee labelling. Different countries have diverse requirements for what must be included on a label, especially concerning health and environmental claims. Staying ahead of these regulations and anticipating future trends is vital for brands to maintain compliance and leverage label design as a competitive edge.   Understanding and harnessing the influence of coffee label design can profoundly impact a brand’s market presence and consumer loyalty. As brands navigate the competitive landscape of the coffee industry, those who integrate thoughtful design with consumer insights and regulatory compliance will find themselves well-positioned to capture and retain a loyal customer base, demonstrating the enduring power of well-crafted labels in the consumer decision-making process. #StickerMountain #coffee #packaging #opinion
