COLD COFFEE producer BKON
believes in unforgettable beverages. They embrace this mantra
by utilizing their patented brewing
technology called RAIN® to deliver
exceptional cold coffee extracts.
Originally a basement invention,
RAIN has grown into a leading technology that sets coffee beverages
apart by extracting at the deepest
layer of the bean.
Shelf stable cold coffee has a
flavor challenge. The harshness of
the retort process creates limitations. Even ultra-pasteurized cold
brew has fallen short in delivering the distinguished flavor you
taste with a fresh cold brew. But
the operational advantages are
necessary, thus leaving operators
compromising on flavor. But BKON's
recent breakthrough is shattering

that barrier. The unique capabilities
of their brewing technology have
allowed thermally processed cold
coffee to achieve the pinnacle of
café quality standards with both
RTD and concentrate applications.
" The limitations surrounding
coffee concentrates have forced
operators to compromise quality
and consistency in order to satisfy operational requirements, "
said Lou Vastardis, BKON's Chief of
Sales & Marketing and Co-Founder.
" BKON's innovation enables optimal and fresh tasting cold brew to
be created from concentrates with
the same turn-key design as a soft
drink program. "
