BURLINGTON, Mass. and PLANO, Texas, Feb.
3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Keurig Commercial, the
away-from-home coffee division of Keurig Dr Pepper
(NASDAQ: KDP) and the leader in single-serve office
coffee1, today announced it has introduced touchless
brewing capabilities on its bean-to-cup coffee makers designed for
work environments. Using the new Keurig® Remote Brew app, consumers
can brew their favorite coffee or specialty beverages through a
mobile device. Keurig's first touchless brewing innovation
complements the Company's existing Safe Brewing Toolkit, designed
to support safe and hygienic coffee stations in the workplace,
including floor decals for social distancing, brewer signage to
support cleaning schedules and coffee maker deep cleaning kits. The
Company will be unveiling additional brewing innovations during the
year to meet the evolving needs of workplaces and offices.
"Coffee is a valued workplace amenity, and businesses are facing
new challenges as they bring their employees back to the office and
re-open breakrooms," said Phil
Drapeau, Senior Vice President, Away-From-Home for Keurig Dr
Pepper. "While a lot has changed, we're committed to providing our
office customers the comfort and normalcy of great coffee with safe
and hygienic brewing solutions."
To deliver on the company's commitment to help consumers brew
safely throughout COVID-19, the Remote Brew app was developed in
conjunction with a Bluetooth kit that customers can quickly and
easily install on the Eccellenza Touch® and Eccellenza Momentum®
bean-to-cup brewers. Once the Bluetooth kit is installed, a QR code
allows consumers to interact directly with the machines through
their phones using the Remote Brew app. The touch-free technology
allows consumers to select and customize their beverage of choice,
and press brew, all from the convenience of their phone – and
without having any contact with the coffee maker itself.
Keurig coffee makers are designed to brew a quality cup of
coffee while offering easy cleaning and sanitization. In fact,
office decision makers are 2.75 times more likely to consider
Keurig as a sanitary option over drip coffee2. Keurig
coffee makers have non-porous surfaces that do not absorb bacteria
or germs and most common Environmental Protection Agency-registered
household or commercial disinfectants can be used effectively.
Additionally, each K-Cup® pod features an air-tight seal for
freshness, a double-wall design to protect the grounds from
external factors and advanced technology keeps water and coffee
untouched and safe from start-to-finish during the brewing
process.
