This take-along packet of instant coffee contains coconut cream powder and Arabica instant coffee for a fuss-free sipping experience whether in the backcountry or at your desk. We also dig the brand’s Dirty Chai Latte, which is made with instant black tea, spices, Arabica coffee and organic soy milk powder.
Bulletproof’s RTD coffee beverage isn’t exactly new, but the product is worthy of a mention because one could credit the brand with popularizing the butter/fatty coffee trend. This energizing version features grass-fed butter, and Bulletproof’s famous MCT oil-containing Brain Octane Oil.
Chameleon’s excellent latte is made with organic coffee and ultra-creamy, ultra-thick organic whole milk. Even better? Chameleon’s commitment to developing sustainable (environmentally and socially) relationships with various coffee-producing regions around the world.
A super-tasty coffee so naturally sweet you wouldn’t dare add creamer. Limitless soaks their coffee grounds for 16 hours to unlock smooth flavor and a higher-than-normal caffeine content.
This purist, USDA Organic coffee option features the addition of nitrogen to froth the liquid with tiny, smooth bubbles, and no sugar whatsoever. Also check out Rise Brewing Co.’s more inventive options that feature oat milk for a dairy-free morning beverage.
Rise Up’s beautifully packaged organic coffee shines because the founders of the company are total coffee geeks. They take care in their sourcing by finding Fair Trade Certified and USDA Organic growers, and they strategically roast their beans in time-honored methods that produce flavors described as chocolatey and creamy; sweet and tropical. Cold pressing is slightly different than cold brewing, but instead of getting into the particulars, just trust us—this coffee rocks.
We love Wandering Bear’s USDA Organic certification, bold packaging decisions and clean blends that range from Straight Black (just organic coffee and water) and our fave, Vanilla With a Splash Of Coconut Milk.

Whether they be hot, instant or cold-brewed, nearly every aisle at Natural Products Expo East 2018 featured brands that were serving up coffee.
Cold-brew coffee was particularly popular. The method of soaking coffee grounds in cold water over a long period of time has been around for quite a few years. Innovative? Not necessarily. Do we care? Absolutely not! Somehow, cold-brewing coaxes out nuanced flavors in coffee without adding any bitterness—attributes that we're thrilled are more widely available.
Also trendy in coffee: Products that make consuming this quintessential morning beverage easier than ever—no added creamer or milk required, as in some cases, it's already mixed in with the java.
