Pistachio is Having a Moment
Pistachio milk is on the rise, celebrated for its nutty sweetness and creamy texture that steams beautifully for latte art. Pistachio milk has grown 27.3% over the past year, with a 57.6% increase in social media mentions, underscoring its growing popularity among consumers. Research also shows 13% of consumers are willing to pay more for pistachio milk and 30% are more likely to visit cafés offering it.
“We understand what baristas need both on-bar and in running their businesses. We’re thrilled to introduce a product that inspires creativity and helps expand menus with beverages that celebrate consumers’ growing love for pistachio,” said Debra Kaminski, Director of Foodservice Marketing at Pacific Foods.
Built for Baristas, Perfected for Performance
Like every variety in the Barista Series lineup, Pistachio was designed with professional performance in mind, steaming to a velvety microfoam, never separating and maintaining a balanced flavor that complements rather than overwhelms coffee. Beyond its technical performance, it brings exceptional versatility across the menu. Its subtly rich yet balanced profile shines in everything from pistachio lattes and iced shaken espressos to pistachio cold foam over cold brew. It also pairs particularly well with Colombian, Ethiopian, and Kenyan roasts, giving baristas endless ways to create signature drinks that stand out.
It’s also vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and carrageenan-free, aligning with evolving customer preferences for clean-label, plant-based ingredients.
“We’ve found that Barista Series Pistachio allows us to offer new flavor experiences for our guests, with different possible applications that all support specialty coffee and how we can meet consumer demands,” said Kay Cheon, 2025 United States Barista Champion, Dune Coffee, Santa Barbara, CA.
“We’re proud to be among the first to bring a pistachio milk crafted specifically for baristas to market,” adds Kaminski. “Innovation has always been at the heart of the Barista Series, and this launch continues that legacy by giving coffee professionals a new way to delight guests and stay ahead of what’s next.”
Pacific Foods® Barista Series™ Pistachio is now available through foodservice distributors nationwide.
