Achieving barista-quality espresso at home in just minutes has become easier with the release of Peet’s Coffee’s newest innovation. Just launched, this product is Peet’s first-ever concentrated espresso available for home use. Ultra Coffee is crafted using Peet’s signature Espresso Forte blend, offering you a rich, full-bodied experience right at home. The exciting release of this new product means those who love the taste of espresso won’t need a fancy espresso maker to become an at-home barista.

The new Ultra Coffee can be enjoyed either hot or cold, giving you plenty of options to prepare your coffee just how you like it. The versatile blend is silky smooth and highly concentrated. The heavy concentration means you’ll only need one tablespoon of this concentrate to craft up any coffee drink. The flavor profile of this roast is slightly nutty with Hazlenut notes along with a bit of lemon curd and chocolate truffle notes.

Each bottle of Peet’s Ultra Coffee comes with 16 servings in one bottle. To use, simply add 1 tablespoon of the espresso concentrate to 6 ounces of water and then add milk or creamer, as desired. Enjoy over ice, cold, or warmed — the choice is yours! Once opened, you can store the bottle in your fridge for up to 30 days. What makes this new Peet’s product especially unique is its rich concentration, which means you can enjoy the espresso flavor you know and love at home without any cleanup or preparation required.

For those who have hopped on the delicious espresso martini trend, Peet’s new Ultra Coffee also can elevate your cold coffee cocktails in just a quick pour.

What is Gibraltar coffee? The trendy espresso drink you need to try

Where and how this tiny espresso drink began

gibraltar coffee

Found only at select coffee shops is the Gibraltar coffee -- a coffee menu item that will leave you saying, "What is that?" based on its name alone. This specialty coffee originated in San Francisco at Blue Bottle Coffee but has since spread to small coffee shops worldwide. I'd describe this coffee as similar to a Cortado, yet these two drinks have unique differences.

When I first saw a Gibraltar coffee at a coffee shop, I knew I needed to learn more about what this coffee was all about. I chatted with Gibraltar coffee expert Vadym Granovskiy, an expert in coffee Artistry, expertise and mentorship, and TEDx Kyiv Speaker, to learn everything about the Gibraltar coffee -- from how it's made to how it was invented. Granovskiy is especially inspired by the story behind the accidental invention of Gibraltar coffee, drawing inspiration as a coffee lover himself. In his free time, he loves to experiment with new coffee and espresso beverages.

Recognized for its colorful, nostalgic glass bottles found in thousands of cafes around the world, global flavor company Torani has a rich history that dates back 100 years. Maintaining its reputation in the beverage industry means staying ahead of changing coffee trends and developing new flavors to meet consumer needs.

These coffee cocktails are the unexpected summer drinks you’ll crave all season

Summer coffee cocktails that aren't another espresso martini

Mr Black

I could sip on espresso martinis and frozen espresso martinis year-round, but sometimes, on hot summer days, you need something a bit sweeter and fruitier. These fruit-inspired summer coffee cocktails blend traditional summer flavors, like pineapple and strawberry, with Mr Black Coffee Liqueur for a caffeinated and alcoholic twist on your standard summer iced coffee.

Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur, made with 100% specialty arabica coffee, Australian wheat vodka, and a touch of cane sugar, is the perfect base for creating unique summer cocktails with a caffeine boost. My favorite is the Café Colada, a drink that makes a great choice when you can't decide whether you want a fruity, frozen drink or an iced coffee (a frequent predicament I face). Here's how to make three fruity, summer coffee cocktails using Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur.
