What are the latest trends in out-of-home coffee consumption? The changes that took place in the first months of the pandemic have had a significant impact on consumers and have become consolidated as new consumer habits. How is teleworking affecting coffee consumption?

According to Enrique Tomás, the best-selling product with ham is coffee. For this reason, they have launched a new concept in which they combine the coffee world with the ham world. We will learn first-hand about the details of this new restaurant concept.

To optimise the infusion versatility of the unique blend illy 100% Arabica in cold for 12 hours, illy caffè collaborates with the Italian bartender Giorgio Facchinetti, who will show with the acrobatic flair technique, this original cocktail based on illy Cold Brew, ideal and refreshing for the hot summer months. The illy Cold Brew preserves all the aromas of the illy blend and enhances its flavour without adding sugars or preservatives. This expands the possibilities for coffee consumption, from breakfast as a morning refreshment to as a base for alternative cocktails for after-dinner and summer evenings.

With the health crisis, the use of terraces in the hospitality industry has increased, and what was once a necessity has become an opportunity for the use of urban spaces and the enrichment of cities.

“An age-old practice, grilling leads to a combination of tradition and modernity in contemporary cuisine. This cooking technique ensures that the juices of the food come into contact with the embers, the source of heat. This contact generates a gaseous chemical reaction (the smoke), which impregnates the food with its characteristic flavour. We’ll discuss the different grilling techniques, as well as the equipment we have to offer this style of cooking at current-day restaurants”.

The pandemic has highlighted the current and future importance of having solutions for rapid and effective disinfection of our facilities. The HORECA sector has been particularly vulnerable in this respect, as it is a place where many people gather and it is not feasible to keep the mask on while consuming food and beverages. For many years, there have been solutions that guarantee the disinfection quality of rooms and the environment. Representatives of manufacturers of innovative solutions will speak about these solutions and their experience with them at the table.

Are hyper-personalisation and hyper-experiences integrated concepts in the strategies of tourism companies? If not, now is the time. Tourists and guests are looking for unique, different experiences, in which they receive a tailor-made service throughout their stay in the accommodation and in the destination; adapted to the different client profiles, even anticipating their needs, and making innovation and technology the best ally for this.

Coffee to go shop or Gourmet coffee shop? Should quality in fast service be dispensed with? Running a cafeteria offering an excellent culinary proposal and excellent coffee within minutes is possible and without the need for large spaces, multiple cooking equipment or skilled labour.

The cafeterias are committed to the experience with welcoming premises, with good gastro-café proposals and fast delivery or on-site service.
