Fancy a Coffee?
27/02/2012 By Chris Cook
You may have already read that our philosophy is to provide 'great service and great drinks', that's why we've teamed up with Mars Flavia to bring you the best instant hot drinks you'll find on the market! Thanks to our partnership with Flavia, we are proud to bring you delicious coffees, teas and hot chocolates.
So, if you'll indulge us a little, we'd like to tell you about the coffee we provide.
You may, or may not, know that there are two main types of coffee beans - Arabica and Robusta; Flavia only use the finest Arabica beans to make their coffee. The beans are hand-picked to ensure only the best ones are used to make our coffee. Then the beans are roasted; this improves the flavour reducing any acidic taste from the beans. Once the beans have been roasted, they are then carefully blended to create different flavours. Did you know that the finer you grind your coffee beans, the stronger the coffee? Each individual fresh-ground filter coffee pack makes one drink and contains approximately 58 coffee beans per 6g packet.
The Flavia range of coffees is excellent, and we'd like to invite you to try our coffee!

An Improving Environmental Footprint for the Bottled Water Industry
Consider this; recycling a single large plastic bottle (made
from PET) conserves enough energy to light a 60 watt bulb for 6 hours. The National
Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) reported that in 2010 1.5
billion pounds of PET was recycled in America.
Recycled PET (rPET) can be made into all sorts of things like car parts,
playground equipment, carpet or even clothing.
Now consider this; in America (and I daresay the figures are
not that dissimilar in the UK) plastic bottles ...

Strong Performance for UK Bottled Water in 2011
Good news for the bottled water industry as it reports a 2.8%
increase in sales in 2011 (1.8 billion litres). As an industry that employs two
thousand people it is good news in these economically trying times as the UK officially
enters a double dip recession. So with unemployment remaining high and when
people are cutting back on so much, saving their pennies, why does the bottled
water industry grow when compared to 2010.
Well it seems there are a lot of other factors at play.
UK households ...

Venezuela’s President Announces Price Caps on Bottled Water
Flamboyant Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, has started
announcing more price caps as part of his government’s Law of Fair Prices,
passed back in November 2011. The law was designed to limit what is seen as
excessive profiteering on 19 household goods and groceries but is now being
expanded as the government announce new prices for different products and it is
starting with bottled water and deodorant.
The books of over 16,000 companies have been examined by
the Venezuelan government so far ...

Polyethylene terephthalate
What is polyethylene terephthalate? Well chances are you’ve
encountered it already today if you’ve swigged from a bottle of water or any of
a whole range of bottled drinks. Abbreviated to PET, polyethylene terephthalate
is probably most associated with the packaging for plastic bottles due to its
properties as an excellent and durable barrier material. The thermoplastic
polymer is part of the polyester family and can exist in both amorphous
(transparent) and as a semicrystalline polymer which ...
