COFFEE & TEA


“Operators must seek to offer delicious coffees, that rival the tastes of coffee shops, through the convenient format of bean-to-cup systems. This combination of convenience and quality is the winning recipe for the fast-paced millennial generation who are constantly on the search for delicious, on-the-move options.” Amia’s product of choice that seeks to target this


market is its Café Nueva artisan roast and ground range said to deliver on taste and quality. The Café Nueva Passione blend claims boast a traditional coffee shop taste profile.


THE FRUIT FACTOR Something else younger tea drinkers are embracing are fruity teas and infusions – thought to be a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks. Managing director at Eden Springs, Brian Macpherson, says: “As trends such as health, wellness, sugar free and all-natural ingredients pervade lifestyles, the younger consumer is turning to fruity teas and infusions as a healthier way of satisfying his or her sweet tooth. In fact, according to a recent Mintel study, over half (56%) of those aged 25-34 who drink tea and other hot drinks say that flavoured teas are a good alternative to sugary drinks. Brian says: “With younger consumers’ adventurous tastes in mind, a hot drinks machine that can cater to the growing demands of millennials is key.”


Eden Springs tries to cater for this sector with the Flavia C500 which offers 24 drinks options including a selection of black, herbal and green teas in the form of sealed fresh packs and is able to deliver in less than 40 seconds.
