Costa Express is rolling out what it describes as the world’s first integrated hot and cold self-serve Costa Express machines across Britain this summer.

The Costa Express machines have been upgraded to deliver both hot and iced drinks. Up to 1,100 new machines are being installed across England, Scotland and Wales with a selection of beverages including lattes, cappuccinos, iced fruit cordials and milk coolers, as well as a limited-edition new Iced Salted Caramel Frappé.

All coffee beans used in the Costa Express hot and cold drinks self-serve machines are made using [Costa Coffee’s Mocha Italia Signature Blend, which is 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified with the use of fresh milk.

Nick Orrin, Costa Express director UK & Ireland, said: “Costa Express is synonymous with exceptional coffee on-the-go, so we’re delighted to be able to rollout our Costa Express hot and iced drinks machine this summer. The technology used in these state-of-the-art machines is nothing short of a gold-standard level of innovation – a world’s first for the self-service coffee machine industry. What’s more, we are giving our customers what they have been asking for from us – their favourite crafted coffee, personalised for how they want it and when they want it.”
