Achieving barista-quality espresso at home in just minutes has become easier with the release of Peet’s Coffee’s newest innovation.

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.

Ground coffee vs. instant coffee: A battle of taste, convenience, and caffeine

Can you substitute ground coffee for instant coffee?

instant coffee

To a non-coffee drinker, ground coffee and instant coffee might look the same to the naked eye. Both appear as ground, brown powders. but only from a distance. But for everyday coffee drinkers like me, there's a big difference between ground coffee vs. instant coffee -- both in appearance, use, and, most importantly, taste. To me, instant coffee has a "coffee dust" or crystalized appearance, whereas ground coffee almost appears more like "dirt."

I like to consider myself an "open-minded" coffee drinker, as I firmly believe there is a time and a place for every type of coffee in my life. This means I'll gladly use both ground coffee or instant coffee, depending on the scenario. For me, ground coffee is perfect for everyday coffee brewing at home, but instant coffee is the ideal coffee product to take on the go. But what is the reason for the differences between ground coffee vs. instant coffee? Let's compare.

An elevated form of your favorite coffee cocktail

Frozen drinks are usually associated with summer, and I understand why. There's nothing like sipping on a pina colada or even a wine frosé poolside while you soak up the sun. But just like I still drink hot coffee in the summer or iced coffee in the winter, there's still a place for frozen cocktails in your life year-round. I recently tried a frozen espresso martini, proving that everything tastes better. Perfect for a post-dinner snack or a refreshing game night drink to serve amongst friends, there's never a bad time a frozen espresso martini. This recipe is worth drinking in any weather, whether hot or cold.
How to make a frozen espresso martini

The espresso martini is one of those cocktails with dozens of variations. Some recipes are creamier, whereas others have a heavier espresso taste. Some variations use other types of liquor instead of vodka or recipes with specialty flavors, such as pumpkin spice espresso martini.
