Nespresso Pod Coffee Machines on the recommended list for 2020

Its only February and the Nespresso Vertuo, XN900840 and the Nespresso Essenza Mini, XN111840 have topped the list for Best Pod Coffee Machine and Best Ground Compact Pod Coffee Machine on The Sun newspaper’s The Sun Selects feature articles for best coffee machines of 2020.

On the Nespresso Vertuo, XN900840; the author of the article highlights the how the Vertuo is one of the best rated coffee machines on the web. Being only 23cm long the Vertuo won’t take up lots of the user’s counter space and can prepare up to 5 different cup sizes of coffee, perfect for all preferences!

On the Nespresso Essenza Mini, XN111840; the author sings the praises of this brilliant compact pod coffee machine. The smallest of the Nespresso range but it still packs a mighty punch. This machine is ideal for smaller worktops as the author states is perfect for taking on weekend trips away, due its compact size. Despite the size it still comes with two programmable settings and has an auto shut off feature.

You can read the full article here: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sun-selects/8200748/best-coffee-machines/

Get Trendy: On trend styles to look out for in SDA at Spring Fair

With Spring Fair fast approaching and many of our customers out on the hunt for fresh new products to add to their repertoire; we thought it best to give you a crash course on the colours and styles to look out for in SDA this season.

Following on from last year’s go to colour of a chic and minimalist grey; this season neutral tones such as creams, warm grey, black and white continue to lead the way as the core colours consumers are looking for in SDA for their homes. Think the Russell Hobbs Inspire Collection, the Breville Flow Collection or the Beko Retro Microwaves for example. Classic but on trend; so if you’re some styling tips for your store pair your neutral coloured SDA’s with warm, rustic, neutral colours such as mint, pistachio and sage greens, mustard yellows and soft coppery browns.

For those looking to add a pop of colour to their in-store and window displays, have no fear its not all neutral and minimalist. With retro styles making a comeback in the last few years so are richer, luxurious colours, such as royal blues and deep ruby reds and metallic and chrome finishes. Think the Crux range for brushed stainless steel with copper accents and the Tefal Steam Generator Irons that come in a range of luxe colours.

To find out more about this season’s SDA trends, come and visit our stand and talk to our team at Spring Fair at the NEC Birmingham from the 1st – 6th February. To become a stockist of any products mentioned above and more email: sales@epeinternational.com or call 0844 800 8055.

EPE’s strategic brand partner Beko’s Managing Director Teresa Arbuckle sat down with ERT magazine to talk about the importance of innovation and sustainability in the future of Beko and introducing the Beko Cosmopolis breakfast range to the SDA market at the end of last year.

Teresa reflected on 2019 as a whole being a prosperous one for Beko; as they launched many new products, won several awards and launched a training programme to help educate independent retailers with product knowledge and advice to help them educate their customers.

She also spoke of highly of Beko’s new SDA range and had this to say on the launch:

“…We recently launched the Beko Cosmopolis range which has a beautiful retro look, and that’s in stores now and has been getting a lot of attention. There are some great colours and finishes, really on trend, so we’ve got high hopes for this range and we’re going to be introducing more ranges in the future too.”

EPE celebrating community spirit with Lawsons!

Community spirit is often a large part of the success of our independent retailers. Often residing in the heart of their communities, they benefit from having strong bonds and loyalty within their customer base.

One of such independent retailers is Lawsons in Devon; with four stores in Plymouth, Totnes, Tavistock and Ivybridge.

Liz Lawson, Managing Director, Lawsons celebrated 25 years of service this year at the family business; she spoke to Bira Membership Magazine this month to discuss how business has changed in the last few years and how they have adapted to new needs of their ever changing consumer base.

On catering to customers in her community she states:

“Ever since my great-grandfather Tom Lawson opened a tool shop in Plymouth in 1904, Lawsons has always been bout listening closely to customers and what they want. Last year we revisited our business purpose and concluded we exist for our communities, help local people create beautiful homes”

You can read the full interview in the November/December edition of Bira Membership Magazine.

It really speaks highly of our independent retailers and their commitment to keeping their communities flourishing; adapting and changing to their ever changing customer base whilst also maintaining that grass-roots knowledge of their local area that makes them an integral part of many communities up and down the country.

EPE hope to continue to work closely with all of our independent retailers, and supporting them by supplying quality, durable branded products, offering advice or market insights and merchandising to help them succeed.
