Born and brewed in Melbourne’s inner west, this product is all about convenience, quality, and affordability. Each carton contains four shots of quality coffee per carton, with the company stating it is the strongest ready to drink iced coffee on the market.

Made by cold dripping ethically sourced and 100 per cent specialty grade coffee beans, the coffee liquid is blended with full cream milk and a dash of raw sugar for a better-for-you boost.

First Press Coffee is also dedicated to ensuring the sustainability of their products. While the majority of each carton is made from FSC-certified paper board, an amount of plastic and aluminium is needed to protect the coffee and keep it fresh.

Previously, the 20-25 per cent plastic component of each carton was derived from fossil fuels, the company now uses packaging that sources its plastic from tall oil, a plant based byproduct of paper production.

First Press 350ML Cold Drip Dairy Iced Coffee is now available at Woolworths for RRP $4.50, and will be rolling out to independent grocers in January.
