ALL PRO BEVERAGE Introduces A Better Answer to Coffee Pod Machines

Posted by CoffeeFan on March 17, 2012 0 comments

Paramount, California (Vocus/PRWEB) December 02, 2010

All Pro Beverage introduces a better answer to the demand for single-serve coffee makers. The Espresso Etc coffee machine grinds the beans fresh, brews one cup at a time, and produces many gourmet flavors at the mere push of a button. Plus, these machines are environmentally friendly and even clean themselves.

Because a coffee maker is the most popular appliance purchased for office coffee services, most companies spend considerable time to choose the best, most cost-effective and environmentally responsible machine for their break areas. The idea of brewing a single cup of coffee at a time is especially appealing because there is no coffee sitting around in pots getting old, the coffee is brewed fresh per cup, resulting in little wasted coffee. Just like at Starbucks, pods offer many flavors, but no one has to leave the office, and the price is certainly better.

The Truth About Pod Coffee Makers:

  • Is the coffee really fresh? No. True, the containers are sealed, but there is no way of knowing how long ago the coffee was roasted, ground and put inside the pod. The only way to have really fresh coffee is to grind it right before brewing.

  • Is there really little waste? No. The pods need to be disposed of and create a lot of trash. The pods are plastic, which is not a green or environmentally friendly product. These pods will spend hundreds of years in landfills.

  • Are pods saving your company money? No. The pods are expensive, especially compared to regular brewed coffee. Often, the pods find their way into the purses and pockets of people who own similar machines at home. The thinking of otherwise honest people may be that it's not really stealing, if it's just one little pod. It may be considered the same as filling up a cup to drink on the ride home: drink it now or later, what's the difference? But these add up over time and create added expense, anywhere from 50 cents to $1.00 each pod.

For a limited time, All Pro Beverage is offering to place an Espresso Etc single-serve coffee maker inside qualifying businesses for free. If a company has 35 or more employees, All Pro Beverage Service will set up an Espresso Etc super automatic, single serve coffee machine inside the company's break or lunch room for a no-hassle, no-obligation FREE TRIAL. The company's employees and visitors will be able to experience the convenience and economy of pod-free specialty coffee, the freshness of espresso beans ground per cup at the mere push of a button, and the flavor of specialty coffee beverages are just like Starbucks – without the expense, waste, or hassle of pod coffee machines. Flavors include: Espresso, Americano Cafe Latte, French Vanilla, Chai Latte, Hot Cocoa and more.

About All Pro Beverage
As a leader in the specialty coffee industry and office coffee services, All Pro Beverage is recognized for its award-winning coffees, innovative brewing technology, and socially responsible business practices. All Pro Beverages operations are managed through three distribution units: The All Pro Beverage unit manufactures and produces bag-in-box bar supplies and equipment. The Espresso Etc Specialty Coffee unit produces super automatic espresso machines, fresh roasted coffee, tea and hot cocoa. The Fructomat USA Healthy Beverage unit produces custom formulated juice, water dispensers, and vending machines.

The NESCAF CHILL LAH PLEX is the ideal platform for young Malaysians to show off their creativity and chill out at the same time. The use of homonyms in the contest mechanics allows the participants to create their own CHILL LAH language and underscores the fact that in life, we can't always look at things too seriously, he added.

They work by forcing water via little packets of coffee known as pods. The pods are individually sealed, which keeps the coffee extremely fresh. Numerous customers like the convenience of these machines as there’s extremely small clean-up, and no require to measure coffee or deal with spilled coffee grounds. They also permit you to instantly brew a single cup, which numerous individuals prefer over waiting for an whole pot to brew.

You will find a number of various brands of pod coffee makers accessible these days, and they all provide their own brand of coffee pods. The pods are usually brand-specific, even though you will find some generic pods which work with many different machines.

Connoisseur Coffee Beans for Europe – CoffeeBeanShop.co.uk Announces European Deliveries for Freshly Roasted Coffee

Posted by CoffeeFan on February 10, 2012 0 comments

Pluckley, Kent, UK (PRWEB) September 11, 2008

Coffee lovers from mainland Europe can now acquire very high quality coffees from an additional European source. By adding a European delivery capability to their online store, CoffeeBeanShop.co.uk is hoping to replicate their UK successes in mainland Europe.

We've always had a European fan base said Elizabeth Powell, co-founder and master coffee roaster. Our European customers could only get our coffees by ringing us up and making special arrangements, she added. However, due to the unprecedented success of our recent appearance in the UK's premiere coffee industry podcast (Common Grind), we encountered a huge rise in the number of coffee lovers from mainland Europe asking us how they could get to taste our coffees she added.

We very quickly contacted our web-design partners, and asked them to add European delivery destinations for our coffee beans as an option on our online store said Dean Chalk, co-founder and coffee roaster. Those web guys then spent several days (and nights) re-working our website to allow for European deliveries he added. Almost as soon as the changes were made, we've seen a steady stream of European customers order our freshly roasted coffees he added.

Interestingly, we've had a lot of interest from Europe in our espresso blends, particularly 'Morning Glory', 'Mocha Guatemala' and our 'Everyday Espresso' coffee beans. European favourites in the single origin selection include the bolder flavours of our Guatemalan and Yirgacheffe coffees, Liz said.

As a specialty coffee roastery tracking down and hand roasting the world's finest coffees, it seemed natural to us to expand our geographical reach to include coffee lovers from mainland Europe. The UK connoisseur marketplace is quite small at the moment, and by extending ourselves into new territories we have an opportunity to increase the number and quantity of premiere coffees that we source and roast. Liz added.

In addition, we can now comfortably extend our reach in terms of buying green (raw) coffees from other import partners said Dean. The UK has only a limited number of quality coffee importers, and because we can now buy in greater quantities, we can extend our search for the very best coffees to include mainland Europe and North America he added.

Transcend Coffees Josh Hockin Wins the 2011 Canadian National Barista Championship

Posted by CoffeeFan on January 31, 2012 0 comments

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) October 05, 2011

Josh Hockin, one of Transcend Coffees trainers and professional competitive baristas won the 2011 Canadian Barista Championship Monday in Vancouver. Winning the top prize means that Hockin will now travel to Vienna, Austria to represent Canada at the World Barista Championship in June 2012. Transcend barista and trainer Ben Put took second place, so it was a one-two sweep for Transcend. Jeremy Ho from Calgarys Phil and Sebastian Coffee Roasters took third place, for an unprecedented Alberta sweep.

I didnt really think that I would win, says Hockin, But I tightened up my set from yesterday and I was relaxed and simply did my best. I really want to thank the entire Transcend team and all of the people that made this win possible. I couldnt have done it on my own.

Hockin was up against the 15 top baristas in Canada, who all won the right to compete on the national stage by placing in the top four at regional competitions. Each competitor must prepare and serve 12 separate espresso beverages: four espresso, four cappuccinos, and four signature drinks of their own creation, and present them to a distinguished panel of judges. Competitors have only 15 minutes to prepare all 12 drinks and are judged on station cleanliness, taste, beverage presentation, technical skills and overall judges impression.

Im so proud of Josh, says Transcend Coffee owner and founder Poul Mark, I was hoping for a one-two finish today but was completely overjoyed when it actually turned out that way.

Hockin prepared his drinks using Santa Lucia organic coffee, roasted by Transcend Coffee. Transcend has purchased the organic coffee beans directly from the farmer, Ricardo Perez Barrantes, for the past three years running. Santa Lucia is a certified organic farm from the Alajuela region of Costa Rica.

Josh Hockin will spend the next several months practicing and refining his presentation in the hopes that he will place well at the World Barista Championships in June.

About Transcend Coffee:
Transcend Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster, retailer, and education facility based in Edmonton Alberta. Our goal is to roast and serve the very best specialty organic coffee beans and coffee in Canada, and to educate coffee drinkers about the art and craft of specialty coffee.
