What Is Liquid Coffee Concentrate?
Fresh-Brewed Flavor, One Push at a Time
If you're managing a breakfast bar, hotel lobby, office breakroom, or c-store, you know brewing coffee for dozens—or hundreds—of people daily can be messy, inconsistent, and labor-intensive.
Liquid coffee concentrate changes that. Pre-brewed and shelf-stable, it’s designed for high-volume commercial machines, delivering bold, consistent coffee—on demand, with no mess.
What Is Liquid Coffee Concentrate?
Liquid coffee concentrate is a shelf-stable, pre-brewed coffee extract made specifically for use in commercial coffee machines. It's brewed at a higher strength than traditional coffee and packaged to stay fresh without refrigeration. Simply load it into a compatible machine, press a button, and serve hot, great-tasting coffee instantly—no grinding, brewing, or cleanup required.
