Folgers® Gourmet Selections® introduces new Mocha Swirl K-Cup® packs offering delicious choice
TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2013 /CNW/ - Just in time for Daylight Saving, Canadians have a new reason to rise and shine besides gaining an hour this fall, as Folgers® Gourmet Selections® introduces new Mocha Swirl K-Cup® packs. Great news for the 84 per cent of Canadian coffee drinkers who have tried single serve coffee and enjoy it for the convenience (38%) as well as the variety (27%) it offers, as revealed in a recent Leger poll conducted on behalf of Folgers.
"We understand variety, convenience and taste are essential to Canadian coffee drinkers," says Sarah Palter, Recipe Developer and Product Expert, Folgers. "Our Folgers Gourmet Selections K-Cup® pack flavours including new Mocha Swirl, help satisfy Canadians' craving for delicious tasting coffee while accommodating their busy lifestyles."
New Mocha Swirl joins other favourites in the Folgers Gourmet Selections K-Cup® packs lineup including Vanilla Biscotti, Caramel Drizzle, Black Silk, Lively Colombian Regular and Decaf, Morning Cafe and Classic Roast. From light to dark with distinct flavours, there's a roast selection for every taste preference - all available in a quick brewing, convenient format.
Mocha Moments:
When it comes to the taste of their coffee, Canadians also have a sweeter side, with one in five (20%) preferring it to have a hint of mocha, vanilla or caramel, while those ages 18-34 are even more likely (33%) to enjoy flavoured coffee.
Perfect for those who venture to try new flavours, Mocha Swirl infuses a hint of dark, velvety mocha flavour into the signature Folgers coffee blend - a cup of hot delicious coffee - and a welcome indulgence to help awaken the day ahead.
Morning Momentum:
Regardless of flavour or format, Canadians from coast-to-coast agree on how to enjoy the perfect morning cup of coffee with almost half (48%) saying getting caught up on the news is their favourite morning coffee ritual. Other favoured rise 'n shine customs include enjoying a cup of java with friends or family over breakfast (14%), in transit (13%), at work (13%) in bed (4%) and after a morning workout (2%). For younger Canadian coffee drinkers (18-34), time is of the essence as they sip their first cup in transit (20% vs. 4% 55+) or at work (20% vs. 5% 55+) making Folgers Gourmet Selections K-Cup® packs a great choice for Canadians on the go.
"There is no doubt we love our coffee fix with the survey finding that 88 per cent of Canadians are coffee drinkers, and Folgers offers a variety of coffee blends for any taste preference, ensuring the best part of wakin' up…is Folgers in your cup," adds Palter.
