New Coke Freestyle Machine - 106 different flavors of Coca Cola Products for One Cost

The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine is a new type of coke fountain drink machine being rolled out in many markets. The machine is a new type of soda fountain that dispenses 106 different flavors of Coca-Cola products. This new machine is building a loyal following in the locations where it has already been released.

The machine is very simple to operate from the customer standpoint; it is a touch screen format with just a few menus to work through. The machine dispenses ice, and the drinks themselves are at a very cold temperature to help provide the perfect glass of soda.

The machine operates from concentrated ingredient packages, so it eliminates the use of the large syrup boxes that traditional soda fountains require. One downfall for restaurant operators is that the machine cannot produce drinks in the speed of a standard machine, topping out at a maximum of just under 100 glasses an hour. According to an article in The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, the machines cost a minimum of $2,000 and can be considerably more once remodeling factors are considered because of the size of the Freestyle machine.

The drink choices seem almost endless. Many of Coca-Cola's basic drink flavors are available in different varieties such as: orange, raspberry, cherry, lemon, and vanilla. This machine is very exciting for those who drink diet beverages as Diet Coke, Coke Zero, and Sprite Zero are each available with several different flavor options. Having tried several of the exotic flavors, I was less than thrilled. However I was quite happy to be able to drink my favorite Cherry Coke Zero with my pizza for lunch. Other less common drinks in the machine include several varieties of flavored Dasani Water, PowerAde, and Fanta sodas.

The machine is still being rolled out across the United States, in the Atlanta area where I am based it is becoming easier to find around town. Many locations of Firehouse Subs, Taco Mac, Burger King, Schlotzsky's Deli, and AMC Theatres have installed them already. Rumor has it that they are being installed in several Wendy's locations around the area as well. If you are outside the Atlanta area you should see them popping up soon. Coca-Cola has plans to begin shipping the machines outside the United States in 2012. I anticipate that this machine will become a very important part of some target locations, but will likely not replace the standard drink fountain until it can duplicate its output speed.

Drinks I have personally tried include:

• ·         Cherry Coke
• ·         Orange Coke
• ·         Raspberry Coke
• ·         Vanilla Coke
• ·         Lime Coke

Each of these flavors is available in Diet Coke and Coke Zero as well.

I really enjoy traditional Cherry Coke and Cherry Coke Zero, but my Husband loves the Diet Vanilla Coke.  He Says the Vanilla Coke Zero doesn’t taste as good.

There are also many variations of Sprite, Fanta, Powerade, Dasani Flavored Water and Hi-C.
