Nick has been in the coffee wholesale industry for 9 years. Having looked after more than 1000 businesses, he’s spent time learning and understanding what different businesses’ need. Red Cup Coffee is tailored to help most businesses and corporations.
We were so excited, the first night we used the new machine. We had sourced what we believe to be the best and simplest coffee system in the world. Our journey took us to Italy to find the perfert machine.
La Piccola have a beautiful design, simple to use and easy to maintain. The functionality of the machine is simple. Even a 10 year old can make a perfect coffee on this machine. Cleaning is simple and maintenence in minimal.
We felt there was a big gap in the market between domestic capsule machines and Commercial cafe style machines. We also looked at the affordability for a lot of businesses to invest in an expensive machine. So we took on the free on loan model where we supply you the machine and all you do is pay for the coffee. This way businesses can keep their all important cash in the business and just purchase coffee as required.
The response has been overwhelming, when we demonstrate the machine to business owners, they get so excited about how good the coffee is and how simple the system is. The first container load of these machines disappeared quickly and the next was on its way.
Since the start we knew we would need people to share this coffee journey with us, and have now set up local distributors in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria with good interest in Adelaide. Our machines are now scattered from Cairns to Adelaide.
Another important reason we went this way was that these pods are environmentally friendly, they compost in the garden, biodegradability is that good.
We chose to go with the non standard pod which is 38mm diameter. Lucaffe in Italy were the original developer of this exclusive 38mm pod. This pod still has the same 7gm of coffee, just a little narrower and a little thicker. Luca found that these extracted the coffee better than the standard size.
