Coffee at home just got a little more exciting.
With the launch of Jacobs Hot & Iced Latte South Africa, the beloved coffee brand is shaking up the daily caffeine ritual – and bringing back a flavour fans have been quietly waiting for. Yes, the Jacobs Vanilla Cappuccino has returned too.
In other words? Your kitchen counter might start feeling a lot like your favourite coffee spot.
The move comes at a time when South Africans are leaning further into café-style drinks at home. According to research, the local coffee market is expected to grow by around 7.21% annually between 2024 and 2028.
Translation: we’re drinking more coffee, experimenting with flavours and turning our homes into mini coffee bars. And Jacobs is clearly paying attention.
“These additions reflect how people enjoy coffee today. From the smooth new Latte to the return of our Vanilla Cappuccino, consumers have more ways to enjoy café-style moments at home.”

Some mornings call for comfort. Others call for something cold. That’s exactly where the new Jacobs Hot & Iced Latte South Africa comes in.
This creamy, mellow coffee can be made two ways:
It’s also right on trend. Iced coffee drinks have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among younger coffee lovers who enjoy experimenting with flavours and customising their drinks. According to insights from National Coffee Association, cold coffee consumption has grown significantly worldwide.
And honestly? Once you start making iced coffee at home, it’s hard to stop.
If you’re someone who orders vanilla cappuccinos whenever you see them on a menu, this will feel like good news.
Jacobs has officially brought back its Vanilla Cappuccino, responding to strong demand from coffee lovers who missed the sweet, creamy classic.
Vanilla remains one of the most popular flavour profiles in coffee. It softens the boldness of espresso and adds a gentle sweetness that makes each sip feel a little indulgent.
And now it’s back – frothy, fragrant and ready to stir into your mug.
Both the Jacobs Hot & Iced Latte South Africa and the returning Vanilla Cappuccino come in single-serve sticks, making preparation quick and consistent.
This means you can enjoy them:
It’s coffee that works around your day; not the other way around. Together, the two drinks bring more variety to Jacobs’ speciality range while making café-style treats easier to enjoy without leaving the house.
The Jacobs Specialty Coffee Mixes, including the new latte and the returning vanilla cappuccino, are now available at retailers across South Africa.
