Barista style drinks at the press of a button
The UK’s burgeoning coffee culture means that we
have come to expect a lot more from our coffee
than we did just a few years ago. However, there
are times when there isn’t a barista on hand to
prepare the drink, such as at the gym, in a car
showroom or even at the office. In these instances, 63p per cup, between Tea and Coffee. If a Coffee
an automatic machine is the ideal piece of
equipment.
Bean to Cup machines is perfect for providing
freshly made coffee, with all the taste that we have of £23,000 pa. If you were able to double your
come to expect from our drink of choice. The
beauty of a bean to cup machine is that the drink
is prepared simply at the press of a button.
Automatically grinding the beans, brewing the
coffee and steaming the milk results in a freshly
made, flavoursome drink, prepared exactly to each
consumer’s taste – and with the added benefit of
complete consistency throughout.
With the milk foaming technology now available,
bean to cup machines can prepare a drink that is
barely distinguishable from one prepared by hand.
The beauty of the Gaggia Milano, Necta and Saeco
ranges is that they have been designed from the
ground up to deliver fresh milk-based drinks, such
as a latte, cappuccino, flat white or even a simple
americano with milk.
Consumers currently spend on average £1.68 on a
cup of Tea vs £2.31 on a Cappuccino or Latte. 53%
of those drinkers would spend more on premium
Tea.

In our experience at Novus Tea, we have found,
that improving the quality of the Tea improves the
volumes of tea at least four times over. With some
volumes in excess of 10 times that of the lower
quality Teas. Proving that the quality of the leaf
enhances the drinking experience.
Increases in quality must be conveyed through
pricing. Prices must be elevated alongside the
Coffee products (a Teapot can elevate the price
above a cup.) It is clear why the price has increased
when the quality of the leaf is evident in their cup
or pot. If you take the above price scenario, from
the Allegra Coffee Report. There is a difference of
Operator was able to bridge this difference as a
minimum expectation, by changing to premium
leaf teas, based on 100 customers a day,
hypothetically, this would yield additional revenue

And for those who choose not to drink a dairy
milk? No problem! Necta’s Kalea Plus comes fitted
with a separate steam wand as standard, so you
can steam non-dairy milk without contamination
from the so-called “standard” milk kept in the
fridge. Alternatively, for those locations where
powdered milk is more convenient, Necta’s Krea
Touch can accommodate a powdered non-dairy
option, such as Oat Milk powder, keeping this
completely separate from the dairy milk canister
and mixing chamber – again ensuring that there is
no cross-contamination of ingredients.
