Iced Coffee for the week, handled

Fozzy Coffee’s weekly latte jugs are one of the easiest ways to keep great coffee in your fridge all week long.

Each 32 oz jug makes four 12 oz iced lattes, perfect for mornings at home, taking to work, or sharing around the office.

You can choose from homemade syrups including:

  • Vanilla

  • Banana Bread

  • The Fozzy Bear (honey, cinnamon, and brown sugar flavor)

…plus your choice of whole, oat, or almond milk.

You can place your order by Saturday evening, then pick it up Monday or Friday between 7:00am-10:00am or 4:00pm-7:00pm.

They’re made with locally sourced ingredients and homemade syrups, and it's an easy way to enjoy a delicious latte from home.
