Lavazza Professional is delighted to announce the arrival of a range of Lavazza Bean to Cup machines designed to bring the coffee shop experience to workplaces in the UK.

The company has joined forces with industry leading machine manufacturer Coffetek to harness the potential of combining premium drinks technology, class-leading design and high-performance engineering with Lavazza coffee.

Renowned for quality and innovation since it was founded in Turin in 1895, Lavazza is one of the most recognisable brand names in the world.

The new Lavazza Professional Bean to Cup offer is available in both table-top or free-standing machines, ensuring that customers large and small can avail themselves of the opportunity to provide the best-possible coffee experience to visitors, customers and staff members.

On the menu are up to fifteen drinks options. For popular coffee choices produced to the highest standards, the machines are equipped with integrated grinders, nine atmospheres of pressure and a milk frothing system.

Lovers of tea and hot chocolate are equally well catered for in the Lavazza Professional Bean to Cup offer. Birchall Great Rift Tea is a unique loose-leaf English Breakfast blend, deliciously strong and bursting with full flavour; whilst Cocoa Fantasy is manufactured from carefully selected, high quality, cocoa beans that are roasted and ground by skilled master craftsmen, for an exceptional hot chocolate drink.

Lavazza Professional’s UK Market Director, Ashley Weller, said: “The machines are intuitive to use and feature innovative Distance Selection Technology, enabling drinks to be selected without the customer having to touch the screen.

“With hygiene being more important than ever, the touchless operation of the Coffetek range promises to be a popular feature as businesses return to work.”

Director at Lavazza said: “The safety of those in the workplace is paramount and we’re pleased to be able to help them return to work with confidence.’

Lavazza Professional’s UK Market Director, Ashley Weller, said: “I’m delighted to add Bean to Cup to our range of workplace beverage solutions. Complete dedication to the workplace is fundamental to the solutions we offer and the unbeatable service we deliver.

“The addition of our Bean to Cup range gives our customers more choice than ever before, backed up by the reliable service that we’re so proud to offer.”

She added: “The global reputation of Lavazza for coffee quality and prestige has now combined with the expertise garnered by Lavazza Professional from over 40 years at the forefront of vending to ensure every detail has been considered to provide the nation’s workplaces with the ultimate Bean to Cup coffee service.”

The new Bean to Cup offer will sit alongside Lavazza Professional’s ever-popular KLIX® and FLAVIA® brands.
