\u00a0As demand for caf\u00e9-style coffee at home continues to rise across South Africa, Jacobs is expanding its specialty mixes range with the launch of Jacobs Hot & Iced Latte and the much-anticipated return of Jacobs Vanilla Cappuccino.<\/p>\n

The expansion comes as South Africa\u2019s coffee market is projected to grow at an annual rate of approximately 7.21% between 2024 and 2028, reflecting a growing appetite for premium and specialty coffee experiences enjoyed in the comfort of home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese additions reflect how people enjoy coffee today \u2013 flexible, flavourful and personal,\u201d says Domaine Rautenbach, Senior Brand Manager for Jacobs. \u201cFrom the smooth new Latte to the return of our Vanilla Cappuccino, we\u2019re giving consumers more choice to enjoy caf\u00e9-style moments at home without compromising on taste or value.\u201d<\/p>\n

A new way to latte: smooth, creamy and perfect hot or iced<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The newly launched Jacobs Hot & Iced Latte is crafted for consumers who prefer a milder coffee taste with a creamy finish. Designed for dual preparation, it can be enjoyed hot for comforting winter moments or poured over ice for a refreshing summer drink.<\/p>\n

The product taps into the growing popularity of iced and customisable coffee formats, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z consumers seeking caf\u00e9-style experiences without leaving home.<\/p>\n

Individually portioned for convenience, the Latte ensures consistent preparation whether enjoyed at home, at work or on the go.<\/p>\n

Vanilla Cappuccino returns by popular demand:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Following strong consumer demand, Jacobs is reintroducing its Vanilla Cappuccino to the specialty coffee mix range.<\/p>\n

Vanilla remains one of the most popular flavours within flavoured coffee mixes, with consumer feedback indicating clear demand for its return. The relaunch strengthens Jacobs\u2019 flavour portfolio while supporting continued growth in the specialty coffee category.<\/p>\n

Like the new Latte, the Vanilla Cappuccino is available in convenient single-serve sticks for quick and easy preparation.<\/p>\n

Coffee that fits your lifestyle:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Together, the two products offer:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Versatility across seasons and occasions<\/p>\n

\u2022 Consumer-driven innovation inspired by flavour trends<\/p>\n

\u2022 Accessible premium quality at an affordable price point<\/p>\n

\u2022 Convenient single-serve sticks for quick, consistent preparation<\/p>\n

With these additions, Jacobs continues to evolve its specialty portfolio in line with how South Africans live, work and socialise \u2013 making caf\u00e9-style coffee moments more accessible at home.<\/p>\n

The Jacobs Specialty Coffee Mixes are now available at leading retailers nationwide.<\/p>\n
