# Coconut Espresso Beverages 'Coffee Love' Blends a Double Shot Espresso with Creamy Coconut Milk By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-08-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-love References: [neuheiten.koelnmesse.net](http://neuheiten.koelnmesse.net/250/2017/us/products/view/product_id:31249/cat:37491) & [modello-group](http://modello-group.com/) Coffee Love is now introducing an all-natural blend of Arabica coffee with 97% coconut extracts in flavors like Coconut Vanilla Latte, Mochaccino and Coconut Double Shot Espresso. The aromatic blend of coffee and coconut milk makes for a creamy beverage that is ready to drink straight out of the bottle with no pouring or mixing required. A growing number of consumers are becoming interested in enhancing their coffee beverages with plant-based milk alternatives. Bottled products like these offer consumers an effortless way to get a taste for creamy milk substitutes like cashews, soy, almonds and coconuts. As such, it is becoming common to see RTD lattes and other coffee-based beverages that are enhanced with nut milks and other creamy substitutes for milk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Coconut Milk Alternatives:** The shift towards plant-based milk alternatives like coconut milk presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create unique, all-natural blends that cater to consumer interests in sustainable, environmentally-friendly products. - **Ready-to-drink Coffee Beverages:** The rise in demand for ready-to-drink coffee beverages that incorporate novel ingredients like coconut milk offers disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to create new products that cater to the fast-paced, convenience-based lifestyles of modern consumers. - **Flavored Espresso Beverages:** The popularity of unique, flavorful espresso beverages like Coconut Vanilla Latte and Mochaccino presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to capitalize on the growing trend of consumers seeking out premium, gourmet coffee experiences in ready-to-drink formats. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage Industry:** The beverage industry has an opportunity to capitalize on the growing trend of consumers seeking out plant-based milk alternatives in ready-to-drink coffee products like Coffee Love's blends, and create innovative new products that cater to this interest. - **Convenience Store Industry:** The convenience store industry has the opportunity to tap into the rise of premium, gourmet coffee experiences in ready-to-drink formats by offering a wider selection of unique blends that feature ingredients like coconut milk to appeal to on-the-go consumers. - **Dairy Industry:** The dairy industry can stay relevant by adapting to the trend of consumers seeking out plant-based milk alternatives in beverages, and create unique, all-natural blends that offer a creamy, delicious taste while catering to the growing interest in sustainability and environmentally-friendly products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffee-Focused Coconut Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-health-barista-coconut.md) - [Replenishing Creamy Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-coffee.md) - [Plant-Based Coffee-Ready Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coconut-collab-mlk.md) - [Clarified Coconut Coffee Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-creamers.md) - [Plant-Based Vietnamese Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-vietnamese-coffee.md) - [Vegan Coconut Cream Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-creation-coconut-cream.md) - [Instant Dairy-Free Latte Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-cream-latte-pod.md) - [Tropical Dessert-Flavored Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-brle-latte.md) - [Coconut Mint Cold Brews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocomint.md)
