Being able to create barista-quality drinks from the comfort of home is about to get a little easier thanks to the new L’OR Coffee Beans headed to the UK market. The coffee beans come as the brand's first foray into the grocery retail channel, and come in three blends including Classique, Forza and Onyx, which each come in a 200-gram pack. The coffee beans are each crafted with different strength preferences in mind and are projected to appeal to around 75% of coffee drinkers in the UK.
UK Marketing Director, UK&I at Jacobs Douwe Egberts Roberto De Felice spoke on the L’OR Coffee Beans saying, "We want to help shoppers re-create barista quality coffee experiences in the home. With 44% of shoppers now grinding their beans, we recognise a powerful shift in how consumers want to experience coffee.
