UK-based Lost Sheep Coffee has launched a new range of espresso coffee concentrates designed for at-home preparation, expanding its portfolio beyond ready-to-drink iced coffee.

The new products – available in Pure Espresso and Caramel varieties – are made using the brand’s signature speciality-grade 'Get To The Hopper' blend, a mix of Guatemalan and Brazilian arabica beans. Each 500ml bottle provides around ten servings and can be diluted with milk or water to create iced lattes or long blacks.

According to the company, the concentrates are the first in the UK to provide full “farm to bottle” traceability, allowing consumers to follow the coffee’s supply chain from origin to final product.

Stuart Wilson, founder of Lost Sheep Coffee, said: “With almost half of coffee drinkers (49%) choosing coffee at home over take out, concentrates are set to explode in 2026 as consumers look to recreate coffee shop quality at home, at a fraction of the cost. What they offer is the opportunity to create café-quality craft coffee in the comfort of your own home, with no expensive equipment or barista skills required."

“Right now, there are a handful of mainstream brands on the market, but none that offer espresso strength speciality-grade coffee with full traceability. This is where our new Espresso Coffee Concentrates come in…"

 “Made with our signature Get To The Hopper Coffee – a blend of the highest quality Guatemalan and Brazilian Speciality Grade Arabica beans, which are traceable from origin and freshly ground, brewed, and crafted into our bottles – there is simply no other coffee concentrate on the market that can match us in terms of quality, depth of flavour and provenance.”
