These new Grind coffee pods are being added to the brand's product portfolio as a series of limited time offerings that draw inspiration from some of the brand's most popular drinks. The pods come in the Honey Nut Pods and Sweet Miso Pods, which are each inspired by customer favorites to ensure they'll satisfy consumer demand.
The Honey Nut Pods are inspired by the brand's Honey Nut Shaken Latte that fans will recall from the brand's signature cafes in the UK and features a coffee flavor base with golden honey and toasted nut notes in every sip. The Sweet Miso Pods, on the other hand, put a sweet and savory flavor in focus with caramelized notes and subtle umami richness to strike a balance between the two.
The new Grind coffee pods are available now online and from select retailers.
