BKON, the leader in industrial coffee extraction, is proud to announce the launch of its first off-the-shelf product, Genesis Coldstretto — a game-changing coffee concentrate that brings the authentic flavour of espresso to cold beverages without the need for an espresso machine.
Powered by BKON’s patented RAIN technology, Coldstretto stands out as the only packaged extraction that delivers the true flavour of chilled espresso. In 2023, BKON launched the world’s first Genuine Coldstretto Extraction in partnership with Joe Coffee, aiming to revolutionise the cold espresso category. Custom collaborations with prominent roasters using their signature blends have showcased the continued evolution of this multi-channel cold coffee innovation.
Genesis Coldstretto is BKON’s first ready-to-use coffee concentrate available for direct case or pallet purchase, offering small coffee retailers and roasters an accessible way to experience the efficiency and flavour advantage of this innovative extraction method. The program is built for scale with volume-based pricing and private labelling opportunities.
The shelf-stable, ready-to-use format makes it easier than ever to meet the growing demand for cold espresso drinks—from lattes to cold brew. With each 25 oz bottle yielding approximately 30 cold espresso drinks, Genesis Coldstretto delivers barista-quality flavour with minimal equipment or preparation.
By simply pouring or pumping and adding ingredients—like crafting a cocktail—operators can serve premium coffeehouse experiences in any setting, including cafes, restaurants, bars, and event spaces, no espresso machine required. When diluted to ready-to-drink strength, Genesis Coldstretto produces a superior cold brew, allowing customers to elevate their entire cold coffee platform.
Genesis Coldstretto is made using a Central and South American light-roasted blend, extracted to highlight flavour notes of chocolate and red berry. BKON’s patented RAIN technology is known for producing superior coffee concentrates with complex flavours, exceptional clarity, and characteristics not found in other concentrate brewing methods.
“Genesis Coldstretto is not just a product—it’s a solution that allows businesses to deliver high-quality cold espresso drinks with the same flavour integrity and richness as freshly brewed espresso,” said Dean Vastardis, CEO of BKON. “We’ve created a product that makes it easier for operators to meet the growing demand for cold coffee beverages while delivering the flavour consistency that customers expect.”
Genesis Coldstretto is now available for purchase via BKON’s online store with bulk purchase options also available. For more information on Genesis Coldstretto, visit www.bkonbrew.com. Pallets can be ordered by contacting the sales team: https://www.bkonbrew.com/off-the-shelf.
