Pop & Bottle, a San Francisco, California-based organic latte, tea, and beverage company, is most known recently for its Pop & Bottle Super Concentrate. The Super Concentrate is designed to transform hot water, cold water, or milk, into a variety of drinks such as an Americano, Latte, or Iced Coffee. The process simply requires customers to add a certain amount of concentrate based on the amount of water, and the drink is ready to go.
However, customers, and the company, have recently began marketing a new use for the Super Concentrate: coffee cubes. Rather than making an iced coffee and adding regular water-based ice cubes, the company notes that its Super Concentrate is perfect for making iced coffee cubes for beverages. This use case is gaining popularity as the resulting drinks have a more clear, strong taste, rather than one that has been watered down by ice cubes.
