seeing this gap becoming increasingly
larger, which is an opportunity for
operators. Single serve is the format
of choice. It is a one-click coffee
experience that everyone loves. "
Sustainability
The entire panel agreed that sustainability
was a major issue when it
comes to single-serve coffee. " Single
serve is inherently wasteful, " said
Franklin. " We are trying to solve that,
but we are competing with ourselves a
bit. Consumers want single serve, and
we need to offer it, so the sustainability
part is challenging. "
Anne Djerai, CEO, Metropolis
Coffee Company, added, " I agree with
the wastefulness of single serve. It is a
problem that is not going away, but we
need to innovate ourselves out of it. "
Why evolve?
One relevant aspect of the topic was
stated in the session summary - Why
should you evolve your single-serve
offerings? The reasons provided were:
* Differentiation: Your clients expect
you to be coffee experts and bring
innovative solutions.
* ·Deepen engagement: Coffee
has always been a unifier and
contributes to productivity and
collaboration.
* Revenue opportunities: More craft
options onsite mean fewer dollars
spent on the outside.
* For roasters: Many trends are built
in the modern workplace. That
environment can be a great entry
to your brand.
* Brand alignment: No matter where
you are in this chain, you deepen
commitment to your brand by
partnering with companies who
match your values.
