2020 has been a year of surprises. With so much going on in the world, from presidential elections to COVID-19, keeping up with this roller coaster year hasn’t been easy. Aside from the changes in everyday life, we also saw some significant changes to the world of coffee. Even with traditional coffee still holding onto the reigns, a few new trends swooped in to steal the spotlight over the long spring & summer, and we don’t expect them to end anytime soon.
As the world continues to evolve around us, so do 2020 coffee trends. If you’re looking for a few ways to spice up your daily caffeine intake, try out a few of these game-changing trends. Out with the old, in with the new!
Flat White
Kicking off our list is one of the most popular coffee trends to evolve in 2020. An espresso-based drink, flat white has made headlines as a coffee lover’s dream. Like a cappuccino, flat white takes its name from the steamed milk that is topped off with a skinny layer of foam.
Originating from New Zealand, flat white arrived due to fanatics looking to minimize the foam on cappuccinos. Without an abundance of foam, flat white has emerged as one of the top-selling trends for espresso fans all across the united states.
Coffee Cocktails
We’ve heard great feedback from our “quarantini” recipe, and we’re not surprised why. Coffee cocktails have been a saving grace throughout this chaotic year. By combining most American’s two favorite ingredients, coffee cocktails have stormed onto the scene and haven’t looked back.
With so many recipes to choose from, coffee cocktails have gained popularity and provided a taste of sanity throughout quarantine.
Nitro Brew
Have you ever tried a nitro brew coffee? If you haven’t, you’re in for a real treat. By injecting coffee with nitrogen, this coffee concoction gives a new flavor and texture to the drink we know and love.
Think of how brands add carbonation to soda. That’s exactly what is going on with nitro brew! That familiar flavor with bubbles mixed in, how could you go wrong?
