Upper Midwest Gourmet

We are very happy to now be able to offer a few new cafe equipment options to our customers. Currently in our showroom and available through us is a Sharp commercial microwave, an Ascend under-counter cooler, and an ITV ice maker. These are all NSF certified and perfect for cafe use.

You’ve been asking for them and we have listened. Upper Midwest Gourmet now is stocking 12, 16 and 20 ounce Blue Stripe RPET Recycled content Cold Cups and RPET flat lids. We can ship these all year long so you can lower your inventory and not worry about running short on a hot week when we can’t ship; you can pour HOT espresso into the cup without it turning into a balloon; they are easier to recycle than PLA cold cups and go into your common plastic recyling bin; THEY ARE MADE WITH A MINIMUM OF 50% RECYCLED CONTENT!!! Using recycled PET saves resources, keeps waste out of landfills, and lets you make a smart choice without compromising performance. Did I mention they are a little less expensive too (just a little, but hey, every dollar counts). The lids and cups are the same diameter as your current Eco Products PLA so don’t worry about having to waste any of your current inventory. If you have a few extra sleeves of cups or lids they are compatible with the new cup. Our plan is to eventually discontinue the PLA cup and move every into the RPET cup for all the reasons above. It’s our belief that this is the better cup for holding your beverages and a better choice in our mission to be more environmentally conscious.

Summer has been really hot so far most likely meaning you are selling a ton of cold drinks! Let’s all continue to enjoy the sunshine and outdoor fun while we can.
