Cold coffee drinks are in demand as never before and all the indications are 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 care home operators – always trying to satisfy their residents – are already asking themselves, ‘can I respond to this growing trend to stay ahead of the game?’
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 might have been designed specifically for care homes. It offers the perfect solution for cold and hot beverages, delivering finely-tuned espresso with perfectly textured milk. What’s more, it’s a fully automatic machine that’s simple to use, enhancing residents’ lifestyles by adding to their sense of independence.
La Solare LatteVelluto offers management the opportunity to make minute adjustments to the milk foam, to deliver drinks that match the expectations of those for whom a visit to the coffee shop was one of life’s great pleasures. Pair it with our new ice maker – which gives you up to 80kg of ice on tap, every day – and your residents can treat themselves to a refreshing iced drink, as well as enjoying an up-graded ‘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 delivers a uniquely flavourful experience.
Try before you buy? We have La Solare LatteVelluto set-up in tandem with the ice-maker in our London showroom. Give us a call and we’ll make a date… They say ‘seeing is believing’, but wait until you taste what this great machine can do…
