Introducing Cold shots – our new cold-extracted, espresso-strength coffee, developed specifically for cold serves. From the coffees we select and how we roast them, through to extraction and the final cup, each decision has been made with ice in mind.
Not a new flavour, but a new format. Because iced coffee has become a drink in its own right. Not simply something for the hottest days, but an increasingly important part of how we drink coffee. We thought it deserved its own approach.
Cold shots is developed to bring clarity, sweetness and balance to the cup, with enough structure to hold its own over ice. It works across the drinks you already know, from iced americanos and iced flat whites to something altogether different.
“Iced coffee has typically been treated as a final step – the same coffee, poured over ice. With Cold shots, we started from the opposite direction: what does a coffee need to taste great cold? That meant rethinking selection, roast profile, and extraction from the ground up, not just adapting what we already had. The result is Cold shots – balanced and sweet, everything an iced serve should be.”
In select Houses, Cold shots is now pouring across our iced espresso menu. The order stays familiar, but the coffee has been considered from a different starting point: the final cold serve.
Across every UK House, you can also try Cold shots soda. Cold-extracted coffee meets blood orange soda for a bright, bittersweet, and sparkling serve. Made for long afternoons, warmer evenings, and whatever summer decides to do next.
Cold shots is also available to take home in three 240ml bottles: white, black, and decaf. Each is ready to drink chilled, pour over ice, or use as the starting point for your own cold coffee serve at home.
