The world’s largest coffee company globally has announced the launch of Nescafé Espresso Concentrate, which will soon be available in U.S. markets. Nescafé Espresso Concentrate is made with 100% Arabica beans and comes in a 300-milliliter bottle, which contains enough to make 20 cups of espresso.

Following the product’s successful launch in China and Australia last year, U.S. consumers can purchase this exciting new product at retailers starting in February. An exact product launch date has not been shared at this time. The concentrate product is easily dissolved in water or milk, allowing consumers to mix it with ice and water or milk and create customized espresso drinks at home.

In the U.S., Nescafé Espresso Concentrate will be available in two flavors:  Nescafé Espresso Concentrate Black and Nescafé Espresso Concentrate Sweet Vanilla, for those who like a touch of sweetness in their iced coffee. According to a recent press release by Nescafé, this innovation supports younger generations’ growing demand for cold coffee products. The press release cites that nearly one out of every three cups of coffee consumed outside the home is cold coffee. The brand hopes the release of the Espresso Concentrate will make it easier for consumers to make barista-style, personalized cold espresso beverages in the comfort of their homes.

Axel Touzet, Head of Nestlé Coffee Brands Strategic Business Unit, said: “Through the Nescafé Espresso Concentrate, we want to capture what younger generations of consumers are looking for: cold, convenient, customizable, premium coffee that brings the experience and taste they have outside their home to inside their home. We are enabling them to create café-style beverages instantly without any extra machinery.”

coffee milk

If you're not from the smallest state in our nation, Rhode Island, the term "coffee milk" likely doesn't hold a lot of meaning to you. I'm from New Jersey, and when I hear "coffee milk," I picture half-and-half or some coffee creamer. However, to Rhode Islanders or those familiar with the Ocean State, coffee milk has an entirely different meaning.

If you search for photos, this specialty coffee beverage might look like chocolate milk, but it doesn't contain any chocolate at all. So, what is coffee milk, and what is it made from? Let's dive into everything about this unique Rhode Island coffee and how you can make it (no matter where you live).

We're on a fast course toward outdoor cooking season, which means new gear from top culinary brands across the board. Among them is Made In, the Texas company behind some genuinely cool cooking equipment. When we heard a new grill was in the works — the first of its kind for the outfit — we had to give it a spin.

The Made In Grill dropped the first week of May. It's an intriguing model for a number of reasons. First, it's compatible with several fuel sources. Second, it's quite portable while substantial enough in its own right to be your go-to home grill. And it can easily convert to a griddle as well, meaning you can cook a number of things just the way you like them.

Though many people rely on the magic brewing process that ensues inside espresso machines, few take the time to appreciate the process of how an espresso machine works.

Let's examine the brewing process to discover what makes espresso machines so special (and different from a regular coffee maker). Doug Parkison, Category Director at De'Longhi Group, shared his expertise to explain what happens inside your espresso maker.
