75% of consumers drink a hot beverage at least once a day, making them a must-stock category (1).
As some of us approach the colder months, now is the perfect time to share our favourite hot drinks…
Coffee
Coffee drinking has become an every-day ritual for many, with almost half of consumers drinking between three and five cups a day (2).
As the cost-of-living crisis pushes coffee habits towards at-home alternatives, 80% of UK households buy instant coffee (3).
We offer some of the biggest instant coffee brands, including Nescafé, which leads the market (4).
Tea
Tea is the perfect coffee compliment on your shelves and a fast-moving necessity for most shoppers.
Worldwide, over 3 billion cups of tea are drank every day, providing an impressive customer base (5).
In convenience and grocery stores, Tetley was last year’s top contender; we also stock other favourites, like Yorkshire Tea, and Typhoo (6).
Novelty Hot Drinks
Flavoured hot beverages are a growing trend, with many seeking the at-home coffee shop experience, enjoying flavoured coffee and hot chocolate.
As we move into winter and the festive season, a third of hot chocolate fans will consume it daily (7).
Likewise, many opt for sweeter, flavoured coffee variations, from the likes of Beanies, with Vanilla being a firm favourite (8).
Decaf
With increasing health concerns, many consumers are opting for decaffeinated hot beverages (9).
One in five coffee and tea drinkers regularly drink decaf (9) and almost 20% drink it exclusively (10).
We have a selection of decaffeinated alternatives, including a variation of Britain’s best-selling instant coffee, Nescafé Gold Blend (11).
Shop decaf here.
