The iconic "Draft Latte" texture is hard to beat, but in 2026, consumers are looking closer at the fine print. While typical ready-to-drink lattes can contain 11g to 13g of sugar per serving, Bare Brew offers a naturally smooth, creamy mouthfeel with 0g of sugar. We've mastered the art of the slow cold steep to give you that "café texture" without the dairy or the added sugar.
-
The Sugar Gap: Even "lower sugar" lattes often contain around 7g of added cane sugar. Bare Brew achieves a smooth flavor using only high-quality beans and water.
-
Acid Management: Traditional lattes are built on hot-brewed espresso. Cold brewing extracts fewer of the acids that hot brewing pulls from the same beans — research published in Scientific Reports found cold brew has a lower total titratable acidity than hot brew, though pH is comparable. If you have a digestive condition, talk to your doctor.

Calorie Efficiency: A standard latte ranges from 100–150 calories, while Bare Brew's black cold brew has 20 calories per 12oz can.
