CANTON, Mass., June 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts
is expanding its menu by crafting an exciting new choice for those
who prefer their coffee cold, today announcing that Cold Brew
coffee is now available at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants
in the Metro New York and Los
Angeles markets. The rich, ultra-smooth, full-bodied Cold
Brew coffee, crafted by hand in Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in small
batches and served each day while supplies last, will be available
at participating Dunkin' Donuts locations throughout the country
later this summer.
Dunkin' Donuts' Cold Brew coffee is prepared by steeping a
special blend of coffee in cold water over an extended period of
time to extract a uniquely distinctive flavor from the beans. Cold
Brew coffee's ultra-smooth and naturally sweet flavor profile lends
itself to being enjoyed black, but is customizable based on guest
preference. Dunkin' Donuts' Cold Brew coffee is available in small,
medium and large cup sizes.
According to The NPD Group / CREST®, Dunkin' Donuts is the
number one retailer in the iced coffee category in the United States. "As the country's leader in
cold coffee, we are constantly exploring new options, inspired by
market trends and guest and crew feedback, in order to provide our
busy, on-the-go guests with even more options any time of day,"
said Chris Fuqua, Senior Vice
President, Dunkin' Donuts Brand Marketing, Global Consumer
Insights & Product Innovation. "Our new Cold Brew coffee is
made daily in small batches and the longer brewing process extracts
the flavors differently than our famous iced coffee, providing our
guests a rich, smooth coffee with an inherently sweeter flavor
reminiscent of dark chocolate."
The introduction of Cold Brew coffee is the latest in a series
of extensions to the brand's coffee offerings. Last fall, Dunkin'
Donuts introduced the Macchiato to its line of espresso-based
beverages. In May, the brand also added new Heath and Almond Joy
iced coffees for a limited time, giving guests the chance to enjoy
the flavors of their favorite candy bars in their iced coffee
throughout summer.
