Orange lid is technically for cold brew but most stores have it on tap so they probably don’t need them anymore and just use them for their iced coffee instead. My store has a Curtis to store iced coffee so we actually use orange lids for sweet cream 😂

We don’t have decaf iced coffee. They might not have enough brown lids and use the orange lid as a back up.

Our pitchers with an orange lid is Cold Brew

It honestly depends on the store. I’ve had stores that have used yellow for lemonade AND sweet cream, and someone had been using the kiwi for black tea backups.
No one cares anymore lol

Decaf was a grey lid. Orange is cold brew, brown is iced coffee.

I don't think any stores do iced decaf anymore. It never sells. If they're using an orange lid on a pitcher of iced coffee, and you know it's iced coffee, then the best logical guess is that they ran out of lids and needed to use something for it lol

We do not have any type of iced coffee that is decaf. As others have said, the orange lids were originally for cold brew but are probably being re-purposed for something else now as the cold brew is not kept in pitchers anymore. Typically, old lids like that are simply reused and relabeled for something different. It can’t possibly be decaf tho, because like I said, none of our cold coffees are available as decaf.

we use an urn for iced coffee and kegs for cold brew. our pitchers are used for sweet cream and lemonade so we just use whatever lid

In my store it’s Un Cut cold brew with orange lids and it’s rare we use this or even have a pitcher for it

orange lids were for uncut cold brew but since many stores have cold brew on tap now they just use it for iced coffee. in my stores case, we have a bigger pitcher called a curtis that dispenses iced coffee, so we don’t really use the orange lids at all

Back in the day (ten years ago), the decaf was a gray lid. The orange is for regular coffee and only used when closing. Brown lid is for black tea and we don’t serve decaf iced coffee anymore.

We have decaf iced coffee. They are in a silver and blue bag. They are smaller and brewed in quarter batches. We use a brown lid for ours. We only go through a pitcher a day.

In our store regular ice coffee is in a big urn. Decaf has either a brown or grey lid, with a label that says decaf on it.


Orange lids have cold brew molded into the lid it's self. We sometimes use the orange lids for sweet cream.

No. We just the brown ones. That’s cold brew with the orange lids. But they could be reusing them

I kno most stores dont have decaf iced coffee but my store does. Its in a picther with a light sea green color lid. We have a handful of people that order it at my store. We never make more then one picture a day but we definitely it everyday. But every story uses different colored lids for certain things only. I know my store keeps sweet cream in the pictures with the gray lids. Then we use the brown lids only for black iced tea. I don't think we have an orange one besides whatever that color is for the new pineapple refresher that came out. So some stores use some of the lid colors for different things.

Okay, thanks for the prompt reply…I guess I’m a bit cynical these days.
