Pacific Foods Barista Series™ Excited to Reconnect with the Specialty-Coffee with the Coffee Community in Boston
THE PACIFIC FOODS TEAM IS VERY EAGER FOR THE UPCOMING 2022 SPECIALTY COFFEE EXPO IN BOSTON! LIKE SO MANY COFFEE PROFESSIONALS, WE’VE MISSED THE CHANCE TO SEE THE MEMBERS OF OUR SPECIALTY-COFFEE COMMUNITY IN PERSON SINCE THE ONSET OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND WE’RE VERY EXCITED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY IN BOSTON, WHERE WE’RE SERVING AS THE EXPO’S TITLE SPONSOR.
Pacific Foods is the brand behind the Barista Series™ line of plant-based products designed for specialty-coffee beverages. Pacific Foods has a decades-long reputation for creating products using the highest-quality ingredients, and Barista Series™ holds true to this tradition.
All Barista Series™ products are created in partnership with baristas and with their key feedback, which is reflected in the Barista Series™ motto: “Barista Inspired, Barista Approved.” We’ve highlighted the stories of many of our barista partners in the Community Spotlights published exclusively on our website. We also demonstrate our commitment to coffee workers in our regular support of industry events and educational opportunities to support their professional development.
Many baristas also lend their expertise to the Barista Series™ Advisory Board, helping us ensure we’re making decisions that positively impact coffee professionals. One of our Board members is Andrea Allen, the reigning U.S. Barista Champion who finished second at the 2021 World Barista Championship. Andrea is the co-founder of Onyx Coffee Lab, which uses Barista Series™ products in its cafés. “It takes intention, passion, and excellence to set a hospitality experience apart,” says Andrea. “At Onyx, we incorporate Barista Series™ in our drinks as a standard. Why? Because it’s the best, and because being intentional about our ingredients demonstrates care for our community. All these small choices make real change.”
At the Specialty Coffee Expo in Boston, we’ll be showcasing the two newest products in the Barista Series™ line:
Barista Series™ Hemp, which provides a neutral profile of the earthy taste of hemp. This subtle flavor complements espresso and is a great source of calcium and iron. Barista Series™ Hemp is also designed for baristas to be able to pour beautiful latte art.
Barista Series™ Unsweetened Almond, which delivers the signature almond flavor of Barista Series™ Almond without the sugar. Like all Barista Series™ products, Unsweetened Almond develops a smooth, glossy micro-foam when steamed, allowing baristas to pour excellent latte art.
Attendees can stop by Booth #809 at Expo for a plant-based beverage featuring our newest products or another product in the Barista Series™ line: Almond, Coconut, Oat, or Soy. (Barista Series™ Oat earned a Best New Product award at the 2018 Expo.)
Baristas can also show off their latte art skills at the latte art throwdowns we’ll be holding at the Pacific Foods booth during Expo. Please stay tuned to the Barista Series™ Instagram for details on the throwdowns as Expo approaches.
