Blue Bottle Coffee Perfects The At-Home Iced Latte With The Introduction Of Craft Instant Espresso

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 18 May 2023 - Blue Bottle Coffee announces its latest innovation and first soluble espresso product - Craft Instant Coffee Espresso will be available in Blue Bottle Coffee Hong Kong starting from 20 May.

Removing the need for machines and brewing expertise, Blue Bottle's Craft Instant Espresso makes enjoying delicious cafe-quality espresso drinks anywhere effortless, instantly brings the meticulous quality of Blue Bottle espresso into your home.


Born from years of exploration, research and development, Blue Bottle's custom process developed with its in-house coffee roasting and brewing expertise captures the true essence of coffee. In developing Craft Instant Espresso, Blue Bottle set out to provide guests with a simple and convenient way to craft quality iced lattes - one of the brand's most popular cafe drinks - at home with just (alt) milk and a spoon. The result is an instant-based iced latte that Blue Bottle quality assurance experts consistently rate at or above traditional iced espresso lattes in blind taste tests. In addition to the canned version for home use, Blue Bottle Coffee also offers a portable package to enjoy quality coffee wherever you go.

To develop Craft Instant Espresso, Blue Bottle brought its 20 years of experience in sourcing, roasting and brewing to reimagine the end-to-end process of creating instant coffee. Blue Bottle focused on two key processes to make its instant espresso: extraction and drying. Taking a gentle approach to extracting by using milder temperatures and pressure, and treating the coffee more delicately and as purely as possible, the quality of the output improved exponentially. Blue Bottle also lengthened the freeze-drying process, which results in a higher quality product and ultimately a better-tasting cup.
