Cafe Express 2

The  Cafe Express 2 is the latest one cup coffee maker in the office coffee service market.  It is an outstanding piece of equipment for  both the medium and large sized professional office environment.  With 10 selections, it provides the user with the ability to make all kinds of different coffees, teas, hot chocolate as well as espresso and espresso based drinks - lattes, mochachinos, cappacinos, etc.

Having been in the office coffee service market for the last 17 years, there is no doubt that the hot chocolate is the best in available for office coffee service.  The milk product, which is always been a challenge for these type of machines(mixing a milk powder with water) actually tastes excellent.  For people who have tried  milk product in other machines that attempt to mix  espresso or coffee with milk, you know that this can be a challenge(disaster). 

The quality of the coffees and teas are as good or better than any of the one cup coffee makers currently out there.  Light, medium and dark roasts are available in coffees as well as flavored coffees and all kinds of organic teas!

One of the  added benefits of this machine and products is that the cost per cup is about 20% less than other single cup coffee systems!  A great combination - quality and cost efficient.

It is a great system to consider/demo for any office with 35 or more employees!

Pod Coffee Systems

Single cup systems have become more and more popular in the office coffee service realm over the last 10 to 15 years.  In the last 9 months, unfortunately, we have seen the price of these products go up 30% percent.  Whereas the price per cup used to be in the 42-45 cent per cup range, it is now upwards of 60 cents per cup.  For many offices this could mean an increase of thousands of dollars per year!  

There is an answer that combines quality and affordability -  Pod Coffee Systems.  The new pod systems feature all the same selections of coffees as traditional single cup brewers and the cost per cup is about 20% less.  The pods are biodegradable and compostable  so they don't have the negative impact on the environment that other single cup brewers have (filling up landlfills by the millions with non recyclable coffee capsules).   Some recognizable roasters have gotten into the Pod coffee production, including Barney's, Wolfgang Puck and many others will soon be following suit.  Unfortunately many office coffee service administrators have had to deal with significant price increases for single cup coffee systems over the last several months, but they do have an option. 

We at The Gourmet Coffee Co have converted many customers to the Pod system and the response has been fantiastic - our customers love the quality and are quite pleased to be paying per cup what they were paying a year ago, before coffee prices started soaring!  If you are an office coffee service administrator and struggling with the price of your single cup system, consider the Pod system.  They are not just a substitute for a single cup system, but an upgrade.  These systems include the Fresh Cup, which brews all different kinds of Coffees & Teas and The Cafe Express which offers 10 drink selections inlcuding Coffees, Teas, Lattes, Espresso, Cappacinos, Hot Chocolate and more!   The Hot Chocolate is by far the best on the market!

Peets Coffee

Peets coffee, currently is the coffee for dark coffee lovers.  For dark coffee lovers, who drink their coffee black, nothing compares in the office coffee service realm.  Whereas alot of the dark coffees out there are dark, but almost burnt or bitter, Peets has found the formula to producing dark coffee that is rich but also very smooth.

In the office coffee realm, Peets is still relatively new, especially to South Florida, but that should soon change.  It is comparatively priced to the other high end coffees and we have seen quite a few of our customers switching to it.  The fact that they roast to order ensures a relatively freshly roasted coffee as opposed to the coffees that sit around in  warehouses for months at a time.  Their packaging also does a great job of keeping the coffee very fresh.

The Gourmet Coffee Co coffee service  is proud to carry Peets coffee!  Call or email us for some samples.  Have a great day!
