These new Co-op Ever Ground coffees are being launched at Co-op and Nisa store locations in the UK for consumers to pick up as a high-quality, 100% Fairtrade product option.
The products come in the Ground Coffee and Whole Bean options, which are priced at £3.50 each for 200-grams. The coffees are made with Arabica beans and were chosen to create a barista-style coffee for consumers to enjoy from the comfort of home without having to head to a local cafe. The products are arriving after a successful launch of the brand's ready-to-drink (RTD) chilled coffee drinks that arrived this past summer.
Co-op Own-Brand Planning Manager Grace Bowker commented on the new Co-op Ever Ground coffees saying, "We’re thrilled to be bringing Ever Ground to the shelves for the first time following the success of our hot drinks launch in 2020. Our customers and members have already really resonated with our new brand as it not only makes delicious coffee, but the range is sourced on Fairtrade terms which means standing with farmers for fairness and equality, in countries such as Ethiopia, Brazil and Colombia."
