Pour Moi is a unique coffee shop concept developed for vending operators. The distinctive brand brings coffee shop quality to vending machines with its premium product and large 12oz cup and lid offering.

Pour Moi offers three vending options: Premium, Fairtrade and Classic Colombian. Each one supplies operators with a different ingredient package to suit individual business needs. Packages range from Buendia's 100 per cent Colombian coffee and award winning Fairtrade Percol coffee, to the premium freeze-dried coffee brand, Douwe Egberts. In addition, HVO free options such as Amour de Chocolat hot chocolate and 100 per cent Granulated Skimmed Milk from Milfresh, are included.

The premium Douwe Egberts offer is popular with public sites and high-end white collar office environments as it supplies leading, top brand beverages including tea, coffee and HVO-free hot chocolate. In contrast, the Fairtrade or Classic Colombian is favoured by educational establishments such as colledges and universities, where ethically sourced ingredients are preferred.

The Fairtrade offer supplies operators with high quality Fairtrade accredited coffee, tea and chocolate ingredients. The Classic Colombian selection provides the most cost effective solution, offering ethically sourced coffee, premium Rainforest Alliance accredited tea from PG tips and HVO-free hot chocolate ingredients.

Simon Kershaw, Sector Marketing Manager (Vending), comments: "The Pour Moi concept gives operators choice - with three options for different site profiles and budgets. Operators can expect to see higher profit margins when using any of the three Pour Moi vending options. With Pour Moi vending, operators can be sure they are offering consumers top quality drinks that will drive high margins."

Aimia also recently launched a new luxury hot chocolate for vending and foodservice operators in the UK. Amour de Chocolat offers an indulgent hot chocolate formulated for high-end vending and foodservice outlets. In line with current consumer trends, it is a more natural chocolate beverage option which is HVO-free and contains a high cocoa content for a rich dark continental flavour.

Sales of chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks currently show the fastest increase with retail volume growth of six per cent and current retail value growth of seven per cent*. This impressive performance is driven mainly by the trend towards buying more indulgent, yet more natural products, particularly among women and younger consumers.

Amour de Chocolat enables operators to be more adventurous and serve continental style beverages for an intense chocolate experience.

Granulated for ease of flow and low dusting, the multifunctional add milk formula is made for Milfresh superior granulated skimmed milk for vending operators and foodservice providers with table top vending applications. Milfresh provides a healthier alternative to traditional whitener as it contains no additives or preservatives and is HVO-free.

Simon Kershaw explained: "Amour de Chocolat gives vending and foodservice operators a real opportunity to stand out from their competitors and provide their customers with the ultimate hot chocolate experience.

"With the rise of the indulgence trend, people are seeking a cosmopolitan style beverage which is rich in flavour. Following this, luxury chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks are predicted to show growth in volume and constant value sales in the future as the category continues to expand."
