A VESSEL MID-LIFE UPGRADE , OR EVEN ANNUAL YARD OVERHAUL , IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT ON-BOARD COFFEE SERVICES AND ECONOMICS ON TRACK
Many vessels world-wide have expensive and resource wasting piston coffee brewers installed . These require cumbersome and expensive daily maintenance and produce massive volumes of coffee waste .
When a vessel changes owner or trading route it often goes through refur-
bishment and classification at a shipyard . This is an excellent opportunity to completely overhaul the coffee services into profitability and cost-efficiency , not to mention sustainability .
Old coffee brewing equipment is often energy wasting and work intensive on already stretched crews .
On ALFÅGELN , a hardworking shortsea ferry trading in the Åland archipelago for many years , her coffee moment came in 2022 . The cafeteria staff wanted to concentrate on servicing passengers with good food and coffee around the clock . The solution was a Cafitesse brewer with a swipe payment system for bank cards . The new system was installed during a yard visit and tested to capacity before ALFÅGELN returned on route .
The new coffee service immediately changed passenger perception of good coffee on board and increased service level
Cafitesse makes real milk coffees for quick service in the busy bar .
in the cafeteria . In two years , almost all ferries in the area have changed to Cafitesse . Passengers now can buy hot and good coffee anytime during crossings between harbor stops . Customer satisfaction is further increased as sustainability , biohazard safety and recycling are visibly communicated . n
