What does 'bean to cup' coffee actually mean and what are its advantages?
Bean to cup vending machines create coffee based drinks from freshly ground coffee beans rather than instant (i.e. freeze dried/granulated) coffee.
B2C machines incorporate a bean grinder which operates on demand – for each and every cup – and dispenses the perfect measure into a sophisticated brewer system.
This in turn forces filtered water through the grounds at the optimum pressure and temperature to bring out the full flavour of the selected beans.
The aroma, look and taste of a bean to cup drink is widely regarded as superior to other methods.
The beverage can also be as distinctive as the particular roast of coffee beans chosen by the operator.
