As coffee and coffee-based drinks continue to be very popular drinks in Canada, coffee trends are popping up to support the desire for a great cup of java that can be served either hot or cold. Here are a few important ones, as well as how Concordia can make service delivery easier.
Cold brew coffee is one of those hot trends that has made its way from hipster cafes to mainstream popularity in chains and local establishments. Consumers can now even buy cold brew coffee packs at most stores, and with celebrities like Justin Bieber partnering with companies like Tim Hortons to make their own cold brews, it doesn’t look like this trend will slow down any time soon. Concordia clients can capitalise on this trend by including cold brew packets in their self-serve coffee machine areas.
Hanging out with friends or reading a good book in one's favourite coffee shop and cafe never gets old. Coffee houses can help keep customers returning by installing Concordia coffee machines. These machines' ease of use allows baristas to make coffee quickly for returning in-house customers as well as pick-up and to-go order customers.
Concordia's bean-to-cup systems minimize waste by grinding and brewing coffee per order, eliminating the need for disposable pods or pre-packaged grounds. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also aligns with the growing consumer demand for sustainable practices in the foodservice industry.
Concordia Beverage Systems has been a trailblazer in automated coffee technology since its founding in 1989. Based in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Concordia began with a commitment to quality, innovation, and the belief that anyone should be able to create a café-quality coffee experience. Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with reliability and ease of use, designing machines that require minimal training while delivering a consistently exceptional brew.
What does this mean for foodservice operators? It means faster service, reduced labor demands, and the ability to offer a wide range of customizable drinks at the push of a button. Concordia’s bean-to-cup solutions cater to a variety of commercial settings, including restaurants, hotels, and university campuses, allowing operators to elevate their coffee offerings while keeping operational costs in check.
