As of today, Delta has become the first of the ”big three” US airlines to (quietly) introduce cold brew coffee onboard. All I can say is ”woohoo,” and ask what took so long?!

Coffee Concentrate?!?! You Americans have obviously never touched, much less eaten, real food. I'm not even talking about gourmet food, but plain regular food.
On my recent trip on Amtrak first class between NYC and Boston, I discovered they have La Columbe available - made me so happy!
Hopefully this takes off and they have plenty on board. If not, I wouldn't be surprised if flight crew keep what little is allocated for their own consumption.
Very excited about this! Hopefully they add to all flights soon. Flying ATL:AMS in a couple weeks in DeltaOne and this would make the mediocre breakfast much more exciting!
Delta brought back PDB's on June 1st. It's shaping up to be a thirst-quenching summer in the pointy end of Delta's planes.
@Max, for what it's worth most cold-brew is made as a concentrate and then diluted with water and ice to the preferred strength. Even espresso over ice is more diluted than most people would prefer.
Little click-baity given it's only on premium routes. Hopefully it's a full roll-out soon. I feel airlines have stepped up their seltzer game recently. The watermelon-lime AHA on AA is great.
Re the comment about juice: for a year now Delta offers a good cranberry juice from a 1L carton. It’s tangy and features pure cane sugar, not corn syrup.
SY has had Caribou cold brew for a while. Should probably write an article about it.
This is a good idea. I'd much rather have bottled coffee than whatever comes from the airplane's water tank.
Yes! Those cold brew cans are a godsend in the mornings, not having to rely on Dunkin' hot coffee
@Brad C
Espresso is espresso. And you don't concentrate it to dilute it with water later. Mamma mia, stupido americano!
Does not affect my points or miles strategy. Not a reason to choose Delta over others. Is the coffee in the bottle zero calorie and have the same benefits as coffee or is it more like the Starbucks mixed "coffee" drinks in the bottle which are not really coffee?
