Welcome to florence by mills coffee:
If there’s one to watch in 2023, it’s certainly Millie Bobby Brown. As if bringing the infamous Eleven in global phenomenon Stranger Things to life and starring in the action-packed Enola Holmes movie franchise weren’t enough, her personal brand florence by mills has also grown to become a household name. Now, beyond its flagship range of clean beauty products, comes florence by mills coffee -- a powerful entry into the beverage world, facilitated by Millie’s global licensing partner IMG, in partnership with long-term licensed partner Collab Coffee. On launch, fans and coffee lovers can look forward to two curated signature coffee blends, delicious cold-brew concentrate coffee and a selection of Millie’s favourite syrups, all accompanied by a range of beautifully designed accessories - with more to follow.
Over the last few years, Millie and IMG have shaped florence by mills into a leading Gen Z brand, curating thoughtful partnerships that reflect Millie’s fun and bold personality, while staying true to her values and passions. Apart from the brand’s sought-after beauty line, florence by mills has also launched a clothing line and a pet apparel and accessories line in the last year.
florence by mills coffee is officially launching on May 18, 2023, in The United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Europe. European countries at the time of launch include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and Spain.
About
The huge appeal of florence by mills coffee is the versatility - the products included at launch cater to all coffee tastes. For coffee beginners, to those who are always on-the-go, the coffee concentrate and brew-bags offer a consumer-friendly route without the need for a coffee machine. Certified coffee lovers who enjoy the ritual of the perfect brew will appreciate the whole bean and ground options. Both are full bodied and can serve to all coffee brewing methods, the origins and flavour profiles are as follows:
Authentically Brew:
Brazil, Colombia, Central & South America
Medium roast
Cocoa, Roasted nuts as well as soft spices
Mindful Moments:
Brazil & Guatemala
Medium/Dark roast
Bittersweet Chocolate, Treacle & Hazelnut
The blend names are a playful take on how florence by mills coffee should be consumed. Millie’s personal brand is all about self-love and expression, so she invites coffee fans to be “Authentically Brew”, promoting how coffee isn’t just a beverage rather it’s an integral part of our lifestyle.
Millie sees coffee as a gateway to be present and a source of comfort especially during those long days on set where she’s playing an intense role, coffee allows her a moment of clarity, grounding, inner peace and of course a boost of energy.
With these blend names in mind, florence by mills coffee is creating something much more than caffeinated drinks. One of the main brand objectives is to enable consumers to find time for those coffee moments, which can allow drinkers to reset and recharge before taking on the rest of the day.
Millie has ensured that her products are convenient for first time and regular coffee drinkers alike. The coffee concentrate is a product that doesn’t require extensive equipment to make a good quality brew and is convenient in both time and cost. Being suitable for hot or iced drinks, black or with milk, preferences can be met by simply adjusting the amount of concentrate to taste. One concentrate bottle offers 16-20 servings, which ultimately costs far less per cup than a purchase from a coffee shop. This way consumers can create custom drinks at home and on-the-go.
For those who enjoy their custom-made brew on the sweeter side, florence by mills coffee is also launching with a selection of six delicious syrups. The range consists of: Vanilla, Caramel, and Hazelnut under the “Barista Collection”, and “Millie’s Favourites” Honeycomb, Crème Brûlée, and English Toffee. These syrups were sampled and chosen by Millie herself to add that personal touch to her brand. This way, fans get the opportunity to feel closer to her through a mutual love of coffee.
These coffees can all be enjoyed in the florence by mills Glass Tumbler. A sheer glass finish with distinctive florence branding, complete with a bamboo lid and glass straw, making it the perfect reusable tumbler to showcase any custom brews fans choose to create. This will be the first to debut due to the timelessness, but fans should stay tuned for what else is yet to come.
