JAVA HOUSE® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods Voted Product Of The Year 2019

NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- JAVA HOUSE® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods, a new coffee innovation allowing consumers to enjoy cold brew coffee served hot or cold, has been named Product of the Year for 2019 in the Caffeinated Product category.

JAVA HOUSE® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods deliver an unbelievably smooth, less bitter, less acidic cup of coffee, whether served hot or cold. To enjoy hot, simply place a pod into a single-serve brewer and select the 8 oz. setting for a rich yet smooth cup of coffee. To enjoy cold, peel open a pod, pour over ice and add 8 oz. of water. It's that easy. With these innovative pods of premium, delicious, concentrated cold brew coffee, consumers now have a cold brew option in the single-serve coffee category for the first time.  See how we brew our coffee here.

JAVA HOUSE® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods use time-honored, craftsman techniques and only two ingredients: 100% Arabica coffee and cold water. The cold brew steeping process avoids the acidic results of hot brewing and produces a smoother, naturally sweeter cup of coffee. JAVA HOUSE® does not use any preservatives, coffee additives, coffee derivatives, or reconstituted coffee.

"It is such an honor that JAVA HOUSE® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods have been selected as a 2019 Product of the Year Award winner," said Zack Ruderman, VP of Marketing at Heartland Food Products Group.  "We knew we were onto something when consumers who proclaimed their love for their previous brand of coffee tried Java House Coffee and then said they couldn't go back to what they used to drink.  Bringing the superior taste experience of cold brew to a hot cup of coffee is a game-changer for coffee-lovers and for the category."

JAVA HOUSE® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods are available in four varieties (Colombian, Sumatran, Ethiopian, and Decaf) and are sold at Walmart, Target, Albertsons, Safeway, ShopRite, and other major retailers nationwide. Available in a 6-pack and 12-pack with suggested retails at $6.99 and $11.99, respectively. To learn more, visit javahouse.com.
