Summer is officially here and there is nothing better than firing up the BBQ, sunbathing and cooling off with a refreshing iced cold coffee. Hang on, the guy sat next to me has a confused look on his face, does he think I said: “iced cold coffee” rather than a nice cold alcoholic beverage? This is Refreshment Systems, not a brewery.
Yes, I did say “iced cold coffee” and we are going to explore some of Summers 2021 top trending coffee drink ideas.
Mornings with a twist?
Saying “I’m not a morning person” and the first thing you do is make a fresh cup of coffee to fuel you for the day, sounds very similar to the previous blog which you should go read after you swap your morning hot coffee with something new and cool.
The turn of the seasons (not necessarily Summer) is a great time for trying new things, and enjoying beverages with seasonality in mind. But for this blog which has Summer and coffee in the title, why not cool down with creamy coffee treats or get creative by creating coffee ice cubes for your iced lattes?
External trends v Internal trends
We work in an industry where we supply coffee vending machines and have our own coffee blends, so one would assume the people that work at RSL are coffee drinkers, right? Actually, assuming is the wrong way to go about something. It’s a mixed bag and some prefer builder’s tea which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
The people who do drink coffee actually had some interesting choices, so it did make sense to ask internally rather than going to an external source and seeing their opinions.
