Java House Espresso Coffee Shots, 50 Pack

Java House Espresso Coffee Shots are liquid coffee in a single-serve pod, 50 pods to the pack. Worth being clear about the format: the pod holds coffee that has already been slow steeped and concentrated, sealed under a foil lid, so you peel the lid and pour the shot straight into a glass. Think brewed liquid concentrate rather than a capsule of grounds for a brewer to push water through.

That makes it a cold-drink tool first. Pour one shot over ice and top with milk for an iced latte, or with cold water for an iced americano; two shots give you a glass with more backbone. It stirs into hot milk just as well, and it pours neatly over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an affogato.

A 50-count box is sized for a household that makes iced coffee every morning, or for an office fridge where people help themselves.
