The [instant dairy-free coffee latte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minus-coffee-oat-milk-latte) is made with coconut cream powder, premium-quality instant coffee, MCT oil powder and a touch of coconut sugar for just the right amount of sweetness. “While so many brands were focusing on coffee-only pods, various flavored coffees and even some non-dairy options, so many of them were laden with chemical fillers, artificial flavorings and soy byproducts, which we just aren’t interested in,” said Lauren Durso, managing director, “We wanted to come into this space strong, with a simple, clean, [dairy-free latte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-lattes) that had a short ingredient statement and a superior taste profile." This vegan-friendly, dairy-free pod also speaks to ingredient-conscious consumers who want to avoid gluten. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 30% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Clean Label Convenience Foods:** Consumers are increasingly seeking out products with a simple and transparent ingredient list, emphasizing clean label foods that balance convenience with health. - **Plant-based Coffee Innovations:** The rise in plant-based diets is driving the creation of novel coffee products, such as dairy-free lattes made with coconut cream, catering to the growing vegan market. - **Single-serve Sustainability:** The demand for single-serve products that offer both convenience and eco-friendliness is pushing brands to develop sustainable packaging and ingredient solutions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Specialty Coffee:** The specialty coffee industry is evolving with more diverse and specialized products, such as vegan-friendly and clean-label coffee pods, to attract discerning consumers. - **Plant-based Foods:** Plant-based food industry continues to expand by introducing innovative products like coconut cream coffee pods that address both dietary preferences and health concerns. - **Convenience Foods:** The convenience food sector is experiencing disruption as health-conscious consumers demand products that combine ease of use with high-quality, natural ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dairy-Free Latte Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melvados-x-prefer.md) - [Clarified Coconut Coffee Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-creamers.md) - [Decadent Dairy-Free Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-coffee-creamers.md) - [Creamy Coconut Barista Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/califia-farms-coconut-barista-blend.md) - [Plant-Based Milk Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-milk-pods.md) - [Coffee-Focused Coconut Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-health-barista-coconut.md) - [Plant-Based Multi-Serve Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-serve-lattes.md) - [Plant-Based Coffee-Ready Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coconut-collab-mlk.md) - [Vegan Mocha Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-chocolate.md)
