When you’re running a coffee establishment, there’s one thing you can always rely on, and that’s constantly changing customer preferences. The issue you face is simple: can I keep up with the latest trend; and if I can, how do I do it profitably?
Take the increasing consumption of cold coffee drinks as an example. Figures indicate that this phenomenon is more than a fad, it’s here to stay; and what’s more, the sun doesn’t have to be shining.
In fact, according to the Allegra Project Café UK 2024 report, 43% of industry leaders believe iced coffee is ordered year-round. This growing demand is reflected in menus nationwide, with high-street chains increasingly offering iced coffee options, regardless of the season. Astute OOH operators are already asking themselves, “how can I claim my share of this growing trend?”
As you might expect from the world’s most iconic coffee machine brand, Gaggia Milano has developed the perfect solution. Arriving in the UK this summer is Gaggia’s brand new, fully-automatic machine La Solare LatteVelluto.
The latest machine in the Gaggia portfolio has been designed for sandwich shops, bakeries, in-store cafés, hotels and more. It offers the perfect solution for cold and hot beverages, delivering finely-tuned espresso with perfectly textured milk. La Solare LatteVelluto allows you to make minute adjustments to the milk foam, to deliver drinks that surpass the expectations of even your most discerning customers. Pair it with the new ice maker – which gives you up to 80kg of ice on tap, every day – and your location will instantly be able to capitalise on the rising demand for iced drinks whilst, at the same time, up-grading your ‘traditional’ hot drinks menu.
So, how does it work? Well, the LatteVelluto system is constructed of cutting-edge components. In no particular order, it boasts a high-performance gear pump, a steam-heating unit and a high-precision regulating valve, all of which provide just what you want from a coffee machine: unfailing reliability.
This unique combination of features is what makes those fine adjustments possible, enabling you to imbue your milk with a delicious, velvety consistency, which gives your customers a uniquely flavourful experience. That’s why people are suggesting that La Solare LatteVelluto will set a new benchmark for excellence in the beverage-making sector.
Try before you buy? The La Solare LatteVelluto is set up in tandem with the ice-maker in Gaggia’s London showroom. They say ‘seeing is believing’, but wait until you taste what this great machine can do. Visit https://gaggiaprofessional.evocagroup.com/en for more information.
