Caramel Coffee

For many people, a delicious cup of coffee is the only way to kick off the day or reenergize after a long meeting, and caramel coffee adds a sweet, buttery flavor to this familiar beverage. Caramel-flavored coffees come in a variety of package sizes and roasts, making it simple to find a drink that matches almost anyone's tastes. Staples carries many brands of coffee, including sweet caramel beverages, simplifying the process of ordering coffee online.

A Sweet Taste Treat
Bakers and confectioners know caramel is essentially sugar that's heated until it melts, a process that changes pure sugar sweetness to a rich and warm flavor. Adding caramel to coffee balances the beverage's natural acidity, creating a dessert-like treat. Select products also blend caramel with other flavors such as vanilla or salt to create unique beverage options.

While dark coffee roasts sometimes offer hints of caramel, most flavored coffees are medium or light roasts. Medium roast coffee is well-rounded, a blend of acidity and the earthy and sweet notes produced by the roasting process. Light roasts highlight the characteristics of the bean and its origins and are often more acidic than other roasts. Caramel softens and sweetens the taste of light roasts and blends into the well-rounded flavor of medium roast coffee.

Exceptional Coffee Flavor
Coffee producers go to exceptional lengths to ensure each cup made from their beans offers delicious and consistent flavor. They purchase high-quality Arabica beans from around the world and ship them directly to dedicated roasting facilities. Blends of roasted beans produce unique flavor profiles for each variety, and quality checks at each step of the coffee production process ensure only the finest beans reach store shelves. Caramel coffee can also meet the needs of people with special dietary needs and includes both decaffeinated products and coffee that's certified kosher by the Orthodox Union.

Flexible Brewing Options
Flavored coffees are available by the bag and in K-Cups. Bagged coffee is often pre-ground for use in drip machines, an excellent choice for offices with many coffee drinkers. Coffee pods brew coffee quickly and require no cleanup. Treat guests to a delicious caramel beverage with dessert, offer office staff a selection of flavored coffee or fill your commuter mug in just a few minutes before you leave for work.

Caramel Coffee is an Eco-friendly Option
Growing excellent coffee requires the right environment, and many coffee companies work with local growers to promote modern, environmentally friendly growing techniques. They also teach water conservation methods and promote agriculture diversification, which enhances food security for farmers and their families. Many coffee companies also purchase Fair Trade coffee, ensuring local growers receive adequate compensation for their products.

K-Cups are a convenient way to brew a cup or carafe of coffee, but they do create waste. Many companies now use polypropylene pods that are recyclable, reducing the amount of plastic going into local landfills and making K-Cups an eco-friendly coffee brewing option.

Coffee is a daily ritual for many people, and flavored varieties enrich this hot beverage with the warm and buttery flavors of caramel. Browse the coffee varieties available at Staples and find a caramel treat for yourself or your office.
