13 Oct How Cold Brew Coffee Adds More Choice to Your Workplace Refreshments Program
Cold brew has become the go-to coffee choice for many Canadians, especially younger generations like Gen Z. Adding cold brew to your office gives employees another way to enjoy coffee while providing the type of variety they find at cafés.
Canteen Canada makes it easy to include cold brew alongside hot coffee and other beverages as part of an all-day refreshments program for offices and professional workplaces across Canada.
Offer Cold Brew Coffee Year-Round
Cold brew is no longer just a seasonal drink. Many employees enjoy iced and cold coffee throughout the year, making it a valuable addition to your workplace coffee selection.
Offering cold brew alongside traditional coffee accommodates a wider variety of preferences. It also gives your workplace a popular café-style option that employees can access on-site.
Benefits of Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee
For employees who regularly drink cold coffee, cold brew is often the preferred option over iced coffee.
What sets cold brew apart is the brewing process. Traditional iced coffee is simply hot-brewed coffee served over ice. Cold brew is made by steeping ground coffee in cold water for an extended period before straining it.
Compared to iced coffee, cold brew provides:
- Smoother taste with less bitterness
- Lower acidity
- Bold, distinct flavour
- Higher caffeine content
Choose Coffee Flavours and Roasts for Cold Brew
The beans and roasts used to prepare cold brew can provide an array of flavours, giving workplaces an opportunity to add options that complement the variety already available in your office coffee program.
Canteen Canada offers a wide variety of premium coffee brands, including Segafredo. The Segafredo Brillante Light Roast provides a bright, smooth flavour ideal for preparing as a cold brew blend.
Include Cold Brew in Your All-Day Refreshments Program
Cold brew can be offered alongside hot coffee, tea, custom drinks, flavoured water, and other hydration options to provide choices to suit different employee preferences. Canteen Canada can combine these services into an all-day refreshments program tailored to your workplace.
Your beverage selection can also change over time. If your employee count grows or workplace preferences shift, the program can evolve with different products or beverage options.
