Single-serves seen driving US coffee sales
New York
MASSIMO Zanetti Beverage USA, the maker of Chock full O'Nuts and Hill Bros coffee brands, sees the future of US sales in a single cup.
Overall sales in the US will grow 3-5 per cent in 2016, and the "driving piece of our business is single-serve" coffee, said John Boyle, the chief operating officer of the company, a unit of Italy's Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group. While demand is slowing from its recent pace, single-serve sales are expected to grow by "double digits" this year, Mr Boyle said.
