Keurig Commercial, the away-from-home coffee division of Keurig Dr Pepper, has introduced touchless brewing capabilities on its bean-to-cup coffee makers designed for work environments, according to a press release. Using the new Keurig remote brew app, consumers can brew their beverages through a mobile device.

Keurig's first touchless brewing innovation complements the company's existing safe-brewing toolkit, designed to support safe and hygienic coffee stations in the workplace, including floor decals for social distancing, brewer signage to support cleaning schedules and coffee maker deep-cleaning kits.

"Coffee is a valued workplace amenity, and businesses are facing new challenges as they bring their employees back to the office and re-open breakrooms," Phil Drapeau, senior vice president, away-from-home for Keurig Dr Pepper, said in the press release.

The remote brew app was developed in conjunction with a Bluetooth kit that customers can quickly and easily install on the Eccellenza Touch and Eccellenza Momentum bean-to-cup brewers. Once the Bluetooth kit is installed, a QR code allows consumers to interact directly with the machines through their phones using the remote brew app.

The touch-free technology allows consumers to select and customize their beverage of choice, and press brew, all from the convenience of their phone and without having any contact with the coffee maker itself.
