National Coffee Service & Vending has adopted its Café classics pods to work with the Newco Fresh Cup pod brewer and similar commerical machines. NCS&V has increased pod weights from 9.5 g to10.5g for better extraction. Additionally, pods are now individually labeled with the reccomended brew style - mild, medium or bold.
Café Classic-branded Newco brewers come preset with prefered pod settings, including pre-infusion, volume and brewing time of each style. NCS&V recommends the mild setting for its Colombian Supremo, Guatemala Antigua, Sumatra Mandheling and Breakfast Blend; medium for Donut Shop, Classic Blend, Decafe Colombian and flavored varieties; and bold for its Classic Bold and French Roast coffees, and all tea pods.
