With just one month left of 2020, it’s time to look back on all the trends that made this year so special. In regards to food and drinks, coffee took on a whole other meaning this year, with a basic cup of Joe becoming a thing of the past. And the best part of these new coffee drinks is that many of them can be brewed at home! Here are the top five coffee trends 2020 has brought us.
Nitro Cold Brew Coffee
Cold brew is more popular than ever and nitro coffee is really popular due to its velvety texture and lower acidity than black coffee. So what is nitro coffee? It’s cold brew coffee shot through nitrogen gas through a pressurized valve and dispensed through a tap.
Dalgona Whipped Coffee
You’d have to be living under a rock not to have heard of whipped coffee. With origins in South Korea, whipped coffee took the world by storm, and it’s made by whipping instant coffee, sugar, and water together and spooning it over milk.
Sustainably-Grown Beans
Across all aspect of life, people are becoming more aware of what they put into their body, and naturally, coffee is no exception. People are more concerned about the origin of the beans, how they were grown, and who roasted them.
Quality Decaf
Decaf has never tasted as good as regular coffee, but now coffee roasters are paying more attention to making high-quality decaf coffee. The rise in decaf may be due to consumers paying more attention to their wellness.
Coffee Subscriptions
Now’s the time to invest in a good quality coffee subscription since we’re spending more time at home. Because people are working from home, they haven’t been frequenting coffee shops as much, so they’re trying to make coffee in their kitchens.
