The Nescafé Iced Latte drinks are a new entrant to the ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee category as a series of refreshments that tap into the popularity of cafe drinks. The canned coffee products come in 250ml slim cans in two flavors including Iced Lattes nd the Iced Caramel Flavor Latte, which are each intended to be chilled and enjoyed anytime of day. The drinks both boast a sweet, creamy profile that's inspired by artisan coffee beverages, but are priced at £2 each to make them a far more cost-conscious option to try out.
Marketing Director at Nescafé UK & Ireland Ingrid Hayes commented on the Nescafé Iced Latte drinks saying, "We know that more and more people are reaching for iced coffee as part of their everyday routine and they’ve been telling us they want Nescafé to be part of that moment. With our new ready-to-drink Iced Lattes, we’re making it easier than ever to enjoy a smooth, creamy iced coffee on the go. It’s the taste and quality you’d expect from Nescafé, in a format that fits right into your day."

Industry Implications

Beverage Manufacturing — Manufacturers that integrate cold-brew techniques, stable dairy alternatives, and flavor encapsulation stand to disrupt supply chains with scalable premium RTD coffee lines.
-
Retail Grocery Chains — Grocers curating chilled micro-categories for premium RTD coffees can alter impulse purchase dynamics and store layout strategies to capture the growing iced-coffee moment.
