Ahead of National Coffee Day, which takes place on September 29th, Dice Provisions has launched an innovative new iced coffee product that changes the game. The newest product, Dice Coffee Ice Cubes, offers iced coffee in an already-frozen ice cube design, allowing you to enjoy your favorite cup of cold coffee—but a little stronger.

Have you ever ordered an iced coffee or cold brew on the go, only to find it quickly watered down with too much ice? Dice Provisions‘ Coffee Ice Cubes seeks to change this common annoyance by using craft coffee ice cubes that prevent dilution. Co-founder Gaelan Simpson noted that many consumers love the consistency and flavor of iced coffee but dislike the way traditional ice melts into the drink.

Made from the highest quality 100% organic cold brew, this exciting new product comes pre-frozen in 24-oz stand-up pouches. Each pouch equates to about a week’s worth of iced coffee that you can enjoy right from your home. Dice Provisions uses chocolatey, nutty, dark roast coffee beans to create these frozen cubes.

The company has perfected keeping the coffee full-bodied even in its frozen state through a nitro-freezing method. Plus, each bag of frozen coffee ice cubes contains zero additives or added sugar. Starting with a “black” cup of coffee allows these cubes to be customized to your coffee preferences. Coffee ice cubes can even be added to shakes, smoothies, and cocktails to provide a burst of coffee flavor. Each bag is made only from organic coffee and filtered water.

Banana bread cold brew is here— but are we ready for it?

Dessert for breakfast

Wandering Bear Banana Bread Cold Brew

As a coffee writer and java junkie, I like to think I'm pretty in touch with recent coffee trends. Yet, the concept of banana bread cold brew initially perplexed me. I first saw this announcement on an Instagram Ad (yes, the algorithm seems to have effectively targeted the right audience) by Wandering Bear Coffee. If you had asked me to think of 15 different flavor pairings that would work well with cold brew coffee, there's a 100% chance Banana would not have made the list. Yet, the more I thought about it, the banana bread cold brew flavor pairing didn't seem so far-fetched. After all, the concept of dessert for breakfast is already widely accepted.

Wandeirng Bear Coffee describes the newest Banana Bread Cold Brew as "Coffee-forward, balanced, with a note of warm banana and a hint of chocolate." Though I was skeptical at first, the more I think about it, the more excited I am to try this flavor.

Yet another coffee brand is hopping aboard the ready-to-drink coffee trend -- but Death Wish Coffee Co. is doing something different. In response to rising consumer demand for clean energy coffees, Death Wish Coffee Co.'s newest premium ready-to-drink canned lattes are crafted with simple ingredients, including Fair Trade Certified 100% Colombian cold brew coffee and milk. These sustainably sourced lattes tout a cleaner label while still packing a punch. Each cold coffee can contains up to as much caffeine as 1.5 cups of coffee.

The new Death Wish Coffee Co. latte cans are available in three delicious flavors ‒ Vanilla, Mocha, and Original. Unlike other options on the market that contain high amounts of sugar and carry lengthy lists of unrecognizable, artificial ingredients, Death Wish Coffee Co.'s Premium Lattes provide a trusted alternative. In addition, each can has fewer calories and up to 87% less added sugar per serving than the leading RTD coffee, per Death Wish Coffee Co. Each drink also serves as a good source of protein and calcium and contains no artificial caffeine, colors, flavors, sweeteners, or growth hormones.
