Brio Coffeeworks | Flash Chilled Espresso
Flash Chilled Espresso by Brio Coffeeworks is brewed with flavor and mouthfeel in mind. It’s sweet and balanced with a syrupy body and a complex flavor. Using our flash chilled brewing process, we deliver the perfect shot in an RTD format that even espress-ionados will love.
Unless a specialty shop is right around the corner, espresso on the go is a challenging proposition. We wanted to be able to stock our fridge with shots that wouldn’t disappoint. This set us on a mission to recreate the cafe espresso experience in a high fidelity, ultra-convenient cold format. The result? Meet our Flash Chilled Espresso. By brewing hot and rapidly chilling this high TDS brew, the shot retains the flavor complexity and sweetness of our Calypso house espresso, while not missing out on the soft acidity that sets our Flash Chilled Coffee line apart.
“The cold format offers a fun new take on what espresso can be, and opens doors to new concoctions that demand a cold ingredient. You can coffee up your favorite cocktail, smoothie, or ice cream without bringing the heat. Additionally, while current RTD “espresso” products on the market are oversized (typically 8-12 oz) or doctored up with dairy, sugar, and gums, our Flash Chilled Espresso is served in a familiar 2oz format and contains only what it should: coffee and water. Customers seeking clean, original ingredients will love this espresso.” - Nate Van Dusen, co-founder, Brio Coffeeworks.
Flash chilled espresso is also super versatile. It’s delicious served straight up as a frosty shot. It’s the perfect base for an easy at-home iced latte or americano. And, cocktail and smoothie lovers will find that the intensity packed into each ounce allows for delivering a meaningful amount of coffee flavor without over-diluting.
“Another thing we love about this product is that it can connect RTD lovers and specialty coffee enthusiasts, two customer segments that don’t always overlap. We see it as a great way to introduce RTD customers who aren’t necessarily familiar with specialty coffee culture and espresso cuisine to enjoy the specialty coffee experience, with its focus on carefully-sourced ingredients and meticulous preparation. For specialty coffee lovers who might have been turned off by sugary, additive-laden RTD products masquerading as espresso, we’ve got you. ” - Magda Van Dusen, co-founder of Brio Coffeeworks.
