Innovative coffee solutions provider, Scanomat has launched a range of flexible retail and hospitality formats, built around its iconic TopBrewer coffee solution, designed to help businesses capitalise on growing demand for fast, barista quality coffee.
We are pleased to share that we are switching to bio-degradable coffee waste bags for TopBrewer, available in packs of 50 bags. The eco-friendly bags are made of sugarcane waste material, are 100% home compostable and will help us and our clients reduce waste and reliance on single-use plastics.
This autumn, Material Source will throw open the doors to its first Studio offering architects and designers an experience like no other. The brand new 15,000sqft, Manchester-based design destination will allow visitors from across the north west and beyond to fully immerse themselves in ‘beautifully useful’ products and materials, while becoming part of a likeminded creative community. We’re delighted to share that TopBrewer has partnered with Material Source to provide a premium, barista-quality sustainably designed coffee experience which we hope will provide inspiration & innovation for the A&D community in the North West and beyond.
As non-essential retail stores prepare for reopening, the question remains about what the future will hold for retail in the ‘new normal’.
The global pandemic has accelerated change in consumer behaviour and put ecommerce at the forefront of the retail experience. In fact, in a recent report about how the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift to online spending, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reports that the proportion of non-essential retail sales that took place online during the first wave UK lockdown (March – August 2020) more than doubled versus the same period in 2019.
With statistics like these, retailers need to work harder than ever to connect the dots between their digital and physical presence – and fast – if bricks and mortar retail is to thrive in the post-pandemic world.
Launching today in The Guardian and online, our Co-Founder, Tina Williams is interviewed by Media Planet on how TopBrewer is turning the office coffee experience from an executive perk into a source of workplace wellbeing for all employees.
As we start to look toward the post-Covid workplace and prepare for a return to the office, looking after your employee’s mental and physical wellbeing is more important than ever before.
Key thought leaders across the UK have worked with Media Planet to highlight the impact, importance and benefits of employee wellbeing and we are delighted to have contributed to this important topic.

Often described as a hybrid of a hotel and high-quality student accommodation, co-living brings the concept of communal living into the 21st century. Popular in cities, where real estate can be very expensive, co-living as a concept has been increasing in popularity in recent years, particularly amongst Millennials and Generation Z. Co-living is often described as the housing equivalent of coworking, bringing together likeminded individuals with similar interests into a shared house or apartment. Central to the co-living concept is creating a real community that goes beyond just being neighbours. The co-living experience includes a private bedroom, but places emphasis on communal spaces such as living areas, kitchens, gardens and amenities including gyms and cinema rooms. With community and collaboration at the heart of the co-living ethos, the communal spaces and amenities are arguably the most important feature. After all, a well decorated bedroom could be found in any type of shared living, but a well decorated bedroom with access to a cinema room and a house of like-minded people is something else. But how can you stand out and offer something the co-living generation will actually want?
