Announcing the Concordia  “President’s Hotline”
For some time we’ve been surveying our customers to determine what’s important to them in choosing a commercial Self-Serve Espresso System. We have also been asking them how we are performing against the promises we made when we sold them their machines.

We’re pleased to say that the results of the surveys are very positive. We have also used the information that our customers provided us to make changes in the design, manufacturing, and servicing of our equipment. The impact of these changes is showing, and our customers now agree with us when we say that we make the most reliable espresso machines in the world. 

We want to hear from our customers, prospects, suppliers, and distribution partners so we have established “The President’s Hotline.”  All your calls will go directly to the office of the President of Concordia Coffee Systems.  You can reach the President by dialing 1-800-995-9019 ext. 150 or by sending him an email at presidentshotline@concordiacoffee.com

We would love to know what you think about our products, services, and people.  Please give us your thoughts.

Concordia Coffee Systems Announces The ATM of Specialty Coffee with fully automatic infusion of Torani™ brand syrups and sauces combined with Fully Automatic Espresso

Vanilla Mochas, Hazelnut Lattes, and Caramel Macchiatos. More than 70% of all espresso beverages sold in a café are flavored. To meet this evolving consumer preference, Concordia Coffee Systems has released its second-generation Self-Serve Espresso Barä. The new unit comes complete with the first ever fully integrated flavor infusion system.  Fresh whole beans and fresh milk are used to create world-class beverages.  Industry leading Torani-brand sauces and syrups are automatically steamed into the beverage at the touch of a button to provide a genuine cafe experience without a barista.

The Self-Serve Espresso Barä brings consistent, high-quality gourmet coffee beverages to consumers at a fraction of the cost of building and staffing a cafe. It is an ideal way for coffee roasters, managed foodservice operators, hotels, and other high volume venues to capture profits from the booming specialty coffee business.

The stylish contemporary kiosk with cherry cabinetry features Concordia's Model 2500E automatic espresso machine.  Users make their beverage selection and the machine does the rest in one single step-- it grinds whole coffee beans, automatically injects flavored syrups and sauces, and steams and froths fresh milk for a superior espresso drink. Fully Automatic Drink choices include Latte, Cappuccino, Mocha, Brewed Coffee and Hot Chocolate.  Chocolate, Caramel, Vanilla, Almond, Hazelnut, and Sugar Free Vanilla syrups and sauces are stored in proprietary 2.5 gallon “bag-in-box” containers.  A vending system is also included which accepts debit/credit cards, bills, and coins.

The Self-Serve Espresso Barä is a complete package that gets you up and running with a gourmet espresso business in no time," says David Isett, Concordia Coffee Systems president. “This new generation of espresso bar really is the ATM of specialty coffee.”

Because the sauces and syrups are steamed directly with the milk rather than stirred in, the rich all natural characteristics of Torani flavors are greatly accentuated.

Fully self-contained, the espresso bar fits through a standard doorway and is fast and easy to set up -- simply connect to power, water, and a drain line. The espresso bar is approximately seven feet high and six feet wide installed. It includes customer-branded signage and menu board, refrigeration unit, water treatment system, cup dispensers, waste bin and under-counter supply storage area. The espresso bar may also include a high capacity milk system, providing unattended operation in excess of 150 drinks. It also includes a remote paging system that notifies a key operator when the unit requires assistance.
