SDS V310 single-serve coffee machine

Sparkling Drink Systems International (SDS), the beverage crafting company specializing in multi-drink beverage appliances and on-the-go beverage solutions, has signed a letter of intent with Reily Foods Company to create a strategic partnership to produce a range of branded coffee and tea pods with New England® brand coffee, French Market® brand coffee and Luzianne® brand tea.

Together SDS and Reily Foods will launch a global line of iced, milk and water based coffee pods in addition to sparkling and still iced tea pods. The pods will be co-developed exclusively for use with BE, SDS’s new generation of ‘all-in-one’ appliances and portable beverage products that use a patented powdered technology.

David Darragh, President and CEO of Reily Foods Company states, “We are proud to partner with SDS and look forward to having our coffee and tea brands more broadly available in a convenient and fun format. The quality of our products, matched with the convenience that SDS delivers, brings real value to our consumers.”

“We were very impressed with Reily Foods’ assortment of high-quality coffees and teas and are delighted to be able to further expand our range and offer their great all- American brands to the BE consumer,” explains Serge Bueno, SDS Founder and Executive Chairman.

This partnership builds on BE’s already strong coffee and tea portfolio. This endorsement along with remarkable feedback from the market including the biggest players in the coffee industry, both in the USA and in Europe, positions SDS to make a mark on the coffee industry. “Our coffee pods are like nothing currently available on the market,” continues Bueno. “We call it pre-brewed, all-natural, aromatic blends™, and it tastes great hot or iced! Everyone who has tried it agrees, the taste is truly unmatched.”

SDS formally introduced the V350, a unique and innovative at-home beverage maker at the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago in early March. The V350 has a detachable water tank with a 1.5 liter capacity and offers consumers the ability to make any kind of drink, whether hot, cold, sparkling or still.

SDS is now publicly announcing the launch of the V310, an at-home, single-serve coffee machine designed to work exclusively with the highly anticipated BE coffee pods.

Retailing at $49.90, the V310 is a ground breaking appliance which will open the ‘coffeehouse at-home’ experience to a whole new sector of consumers. “We wanted to prove our innovative technology is far better than the existing player’s. To demonstrate it we knew we had to introduce an appliance at a truly entry-level price point. A capsule coffee maker at less than $50 is a truly unique offering!” states Bueno. “We believe that the V310’s unmatchable price, combined with our incredible coffees will totally reinvent the at-home coffee market. In addition, we anticipate that the success for the V310 will drive the consumer towards our ‘ON-the-GO’ all-in-one beverage makers which start at $19.90, as a way to try all of our drinks.”

The full range of branded coffee and iced tea pods together with 600 flavor profiles including pops’ new generation, energy drinks, kids’ favorites, mixed fruit blends, exotic drinks, smooth milk drinks, vitamin enhanced sparkling flavored water, electrolyte water, non-alcoholic cocktails, calorie burners and non-alcoholic beer are expected to be available in the U.S. in the summer with the V350, the portable Copco Twist & Vibe Range and V310 following in Q4 2015.
