Guy Fieri Coffee Keurig

Now Available: Guy Fieri Flavortown™ Roasts Keurig-Compatible* Coffee Capsules

If there’s one thing you know about every diner, it’s a place where you can always find a great cup of coffee. So who better than TV’s own Guy Fieri to put their name on a new line of Keurig-compatible* coffee capsules; I mean the guy has traveled the country since 2006 searching for America’s best Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. When Corporate Essentials ended its nearly 20-year relationship with Keurig in January of 2015, it should be no surprise that offering the Food Network Star’s line of coffees to our customers was a top priority on our list. All of the varieties of Guy’s Flavortown™ Roasts have been created by Guy Fieri himself, and they’re now available to be delivered to your NYC, NJ, Manhattan or Brooklyn office from Corporate Essentials. Here’s a look at the full lineup of big, bold flavors coming to you straight from Flavortown™: Bananas Foster

Cake Boss Coffee Keurig

Now Available: Cake Boss Keurig-Compatible* Coffee Capsules

Okay so we’ve all thought it before, sometimes coffee flavors can get a little – well, boring. That’s where New Jersey’s own Cake Boss is looking to change things up a bit. When Buddy Valastro, the Cake Boss, sat down with the team at Single Cup Coffee to create his own line of Keurig-Compatible* coffee capsules, they came up with flavors as big and bold as the fondant-covered masterpieces he’s known for creating on TLC. Trust us, you won’t find your traditional French Vanilla or Hazelnut coffees in Buddy’s lineup, what you will find are some big flavors inspired by some of Carlo’s Bake Shop’s best selling treats. Here’s the full Cake Boss coffee lineup, all available now from Corporate Essentials: Buddy’s Blend (Medium Roast, 24 per box) This medium roast blend offers a rich, smooth cup that balances full body with bright, citrusy highlights. Buddy’s personal favorite! Chocolate Cannoli

Grady's Cold Brew Coffee

Now (Cold) Brewing: Grady’s Cold Brew Concentrate, Freshly Brewed & Bottled in Brooklyn

In late Summer of 2014, Corporate Essentials began brewing our own cold brew coffee, and putting our own Javarators into large offices in NYC, Manhattan, Brooklyn and NJ. As our ready-to-drink cold brew kegs gained popularity, we were faced with a “problem.” Offices who weren’t large enough, or didn’t have the space for a dedicated coffee kegerator wanted awesome, locally brewed cold brew coffee too. As of this moment, we are happy to say that Grady’s Cold Brew, New Orleans-style coffee concentrate, brewed and bottled in Brooklyn, is now available from Corporate Essentials. Grady’s cold brew coffee concentrate is made by steeping a special blend of freshly roasted coffee and chicory in water overnight; the coffee grounds are then removed using a two-step filtration process, leaving behind a smooth liquid concentrate that can be mixed with milk or water – served over ice or steaming hot. We receive fresh deliveries

The Perfect Energy Drink? Introducing Guayaki Organic Sparkling Yerba Mate

If we told you that there was a naturally caffeinated beverage made from a tree with leaves which naturally contain 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids as well as an abundance of antioxidants; and also had the “strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea and the euphoria of chocolate,” while not producing the crash associated with most popular energy drinks – we think you’d be intrigued. And if we told you that this beverage was available for delivery to your NYC, Manhattan, NJ and Brooklyn office, right now, we think you’d give it a try. That’s why Corporate Essentials is now offering three varieties of Guayaki Sparkling Yerba Mate (yer-bah mah-tay). And while Yerba Mate is not new, in fact in 1964 The Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific society concluded “it is difficult to find a plant in any area of the world equal to mate in

First Look: New Pure Essentials Bottled Water Logo

As you probably already know, in addition to being NYC & NJ’s Premier Office Coffee Service, Corporate Essentials also leads the way in bottled water and water filtration. That’s why, when we went back to the drawing board for our Pure Essentials bottled water program, we decided to make some changes. Not only to the way our logo was designed, but to what the Pure Essentials brand meant. Pure Essentials Spring Water has always meant that you’d be guaranteed 100% pure spring water, delivered to your office by one of our Corporate Essentials delivery professionals, but we wanted the Pure Essentials name to stand for more. That’s why, starting today, we will donate 3% of the total sales from our Pure Essentials Spring Water to charity: water, a non-profit organization that brings clean and safe water to people in developing nations. So now, when you’re enjoying a refreshing glass of Pure Essentials Pure

Java Cafe Coffee - NJ, NYC, Manhattan, Brooklyn

First Look: Java Cafe Dulce de Leche Coffee Pods

When talking to our customers about what they want, it was clear that those who enjoy single-cup coffee ask for one thing much more than anything else – more flavor choices. That’s why, in putting together the Java Cafe Coffee Pod lineup, we wanted to push the bouderies of flavoring past the regular french vanilla and hazelnut choices (although Java Cafe Vanilla Bean and Java Cafe Pacific Northwest Hazelnut Coffee Pods are part of the lineup too). We’ve purposely added more flavoring to our coffee pods than anyone else in order to ensure our flavors shine through.Finally coming to the idea to create Java Cafe Dulce de Leche Coffee Pods was not difficult. Although most caramel flavored coffee pods present the coffee lover with a toasted caramel, or creme brule-like flavor, we wanted ours to be different. We wanted the Java Cafe Dulce de Leche Coffee Pods to have a

First Look: Java Cafe Empire Diner Blend Coffee Pods

Today we’re unveiling the first selection in Corporate Essentials‘ Java Cafe Coffee Pod lineup: Java Cafe Empire Diner Blend Coffee Pods. Over the past few years, the trend has been to make, what the industry has termed, Donut Shop Coffees. As a matter of fact, since 2007, Coffee People’s Donut Shop Keurig K-Cups for the Keurig Brewing System have outsold every other Keurig K-Cup about 8 -to-1.But when you really think about it, outside of the donut shop with the pink and orange logo, in what other donut shops do you really drink coffee?As we do for a lot of our marketing meetings, we got together at the Pine Brook (NJ) Diner, right down the road from our office to initially discuss the Java Cafe Pod lineup. As we sipped our coffee, the thought that was echoed over and over was that we need to have a great “donut shop blend”

Coffee + Beer = A Perfect Match?

Writing for two separate (coffee industry) blogs on a daily basis can lead to a lot of days where we’re left searching for ideas that our customers and followers will find to be interesting. It’s not too often we find a topic that works for both the followers of of at-home blog, as well as our office-coffee-service based blog; but today was one of those beautiful days where a topic comes up that we think all off our readers (on both blogs) might find interesting. I mean, when the words “Dogfish Head Beer” show up, and are coffee related, it opens up some eyes, because we’re 100% positive that there are many of you out there who had no idea that coffee and beer could even go together, as well as an entire community of beer geeks (said with the utmost respect, as I am one myself) who will have

A Paper Coffee Cup that’s Truly Compleat

Our friends over at SingleServeCoffee.com recently posted some information on a new product that we really felt the need to share. This brand new disposable coffee cup, appropriately called Compleat features an all-paper design which includes a built-in lid and sipping spout.The SingleServeCoffee.com post goes on to provide some interesting stats on how the Compleat cup may be able to make enjoying your cup of coffee a little more “green.” According to SSC, we probably use 3-5 disposable cups per week, many of those with a disposable lid. Now imagine that everytime one of those paper cups are thrown out, a plastic lid is included with it.The Compleat cup does not yet have an official launch date, but their plan is to initially target coffee retailers. But the Compleat cup is definitely a product to keep an eye out for in 2012, and if it becomes available for offices, there is no doubt Corporate Essentials will
