Britvic has unveiled what it claims is the 'world's first' fully integrated tap system – the Aqua Libra Flavour Tap Nano – designed for smaller office kitchens.
The solution offers a range of naturally-flavoured, sugar-free drinks, including watermelon, mango, raspberry and peach, cucumber mint and lime, and more, alongside chilled, sparkling and boiling water options. The tap also provides functional water with added electrolytes, such as zinc, to support immunity.
The Flavour Tap Nano eliminates the need for separate taps, soft drink fridges and kettles. Its cartridge system delivers up to 10,000 servings, reducing both costs and waste while providing sparkling soft drinks on demand.
The tap features single-hole installation to replace existing systems, a customer portal for usage tracking and stock management and a five-stage purification system to prevent limescale build-up. Remote management and predictive cartridge replacement minimise maintenance.
Noel Dickson, managing director for Aqua Libra, commented: “Proving a full-service hydration wellbeing offer to office workers can be a headache. There are kettles that need to be descaled regularly, fridges that need to be stocked and re-stocked, and recycling management. Then there’s the cost of running all of this."
“For the first time ever, managers can now offer all of this through the Flavour Tap Nano, which brings a full wellbeing offer to micro kitchens without the usual operational complexity. The Flavour Tap Nano is a straightforward upgrade that exceeds employee expectations without additional cost or waste."
