Premium QSR Cold Brews

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Carl's Jr. Vanilla Cold Brew Coffee is Made with 100% Arabica Coffee

— March 5, 2019 — Lifestyle
The Carl's Jr. Vanilla Cold Brew Coffee has been introduced by the QSR brand as a new option for consumers who are looking for an accessible way to foray into the world of premium cold brew coffee. The coffee is made using 100% Arabica Central American blend coffee that has been steeped to ensure optimal balance and flavor. The introduction of vanilla into the coffee helps to make it more palatable for consumers who might not like the stronger flavor of cold brewed coffee.

The Carl's Jr. Vanilla Cold Brew Coffee is available now at participating locations nationwide and addresses the increasing preference for premium coffee drinks as consumers seek out cafe-quality options in an accessible way.

Trend Themes
1. Premium Cold Brew Coffee - The increasing demand for cafe-quality cold brew coffee in a convenient and accessible way presents an opportunity for QSRs to offer premium options, like Carl's Jr.'s Vanilla Cold Brew.
2. Vanilla Flavored Coffee - Offering vanilla-flavored cold brew coffee provides a more palatable option for those who may not enjoy the stronger flavor of traditional cold brew, creating a new avenue for experimentation.
3. 100% Arabica Coffee - Emphasizing the use of high-quality coffee beans in premium cold brew coffee adds to the marketability and perceived value of the product.
Industry Implications
1. Quick Service Restaurants (qsrs) - QSRs can rival cafes and coffee shops by offering premium cold brew coffee options, taking advantage of the increasing demand for on-the-go, high-quality coffee.
2. Beverage Manufacturing - Beverage manufacturers can fill a niche by providing additional flavor options, like vanilla, for cold brew coffee, adding value to a product category that is seeing increased growth.
3. Coffee Shops/cafes - As consumers seek out premium coffee drinks, cafes and coffee shops may face increased competition from QSRs who are able to offer similar quality products without the sit-down experience.
