As the popularity of cold brew continues to rise, and coffee drinkers look for easy-yet-elevated coffee options that suit a grab-and-go lifestyle, Lavazza's new cold brew cans offer a premier way to enjoy the popular beverage in both dairy and non-dairy options. The ready-to-drink cans will debut with four styles including Classic Cold Brew, Nitro Cold Brew, Cappuccino Cold Brew with Milk, and Double Shot Cold Brew with Oat Milk. Each can offers premium flavor profiles, from fruity aromas to tastes of nutty, creamy chocolate, helping to elevate a category that traditionally focuses on the inclusion of dairy products and sweeter profiles. Lavazza's ready-to-drink cold brew is the only one of its kind to be made with USDA Certified Organic, Rainforest Alliance Certified, 100% Arabica coffee.

"Premium, organic, ready-to-drink coffee is growing at a rate nearly 39% faster than packaged coffee*. This is due in part to younger, American coffee drinkers' preference for cold and iced coffees, which makes this market one of the most dynamic," says Davide Riboni, CEO of Lavazza US. "We're always thinking about what's next for coffee drinkers and are confident that our new ready-to-drink cold brew will attract a new class of coffee connoisseurs who value premium taste and quality."

The new ready-to-drink cans feature beautiful and distinctive imagery, transporting consumers to four iconic Italian cities and regions. With each sip of Classic Cold Brew, coffee lovers will stroll along the canals of Venice. The smooth, refreshing rush of Nitro Cold Brew is reminiscent of the waves crashing against the walls of the Blue Grotto of Capri. Just as Tuscany's majestic Cypress landscaping blends history and beauty, Cappuccino Cold Brew with Milk combines the sweet, creamy taste of milk with a cocoa aroma. The bustling streets of Milan – the heart of Italy's revolutionary fashion and design – come alive with the balance of smooth, creamy oat milk and sweet, chocolaty aroma of espresso in Double Shot Cold Brew with Oat Milk

All four flavors of ready-to-drink cold brew cans are available for $3.49 MSRP and can be purchased at select Lavazza cafes, Lavazza.us, Amazon.com, Eataly and other retailers where you typically find Lavazza coffee on shelves. For more information, please visit lavazza.us or @LavazzaUSA.
