CANTON, Mass., July 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin'
Donuts guests can soon enjoy a cold new coffee experience, as
beginning Monday, August 1, Cold
Brew coffee will be available at participating Dunkin' Donuts
restaurants nationwide. 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.The longer brewing process provides a rich, smooth
coffee with an inherently sweeter flavor reminiscent of dark
chocolate. Cold Brew offers another exciting choice for those who
prefer their coffee cold, along with the brand's signature iced
coffee.
Launched first in the Metro New York and California markets earlier this summer, Cold
Brew coffee is crafted by hand in Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in
small batches and served each day while supplies last.The
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 will be available in small (16
oz), medium (24 oz) and large (32 oz) cup sizes.
"The launch of Cold Brew coffee represents a bold new option for
our coffee fans and an important addition to our lineup of quality,
innovative beverages," according to Chris
Fuqua, Senior Vice President, Dunkin' Donuts Brand
Marketing, Global Consumer Insights & Product Innovation.
"Our Cold Brew coffee is hand crafted daily at our stores in
small batches, with a longer brewing process for a rich, smooth
coffee with an inherently sweeter flavor. Initial results suggest
that Cold Brew has fantastic appeal to our guests, and we are
excited to make it available at our restaurants throughout the
country beginning August 1."
According to The NPD Group / CREST®, Dunkin' Donuts is the
number one retailer in the iced coffee category in the United States. The introduction of Cold
Brew 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 and Dark Roast Coffee in 2014.
Dunkin' Donuts also offers eight everyday coffee flavors, as well
as new Almond Joy and Heath flavors, available for a limited time
this summer.
