Caffe D’Vita for the Holidays: From our Family to Yours

/in , , /by

By: Kara Mae Adamo

There is a classic coziness to the holiday traditions. The colder air brings us together–encouraging warmth from within–glowing from your hearts, hearths, and coffee mugs. Caffe D’Vita believes that it is this togetherness–this warmth–that truly exemplifies the spirit of season. Classic flavors and scents like the almond flavor of amaretto and the crispy, fresh aroma of peppermint lie at the core of this sweet, warm holiday tradition.

This season, entice your customers with the sweet, savory aroma of our Pumpkin Spice and Irish Cream Cappuccinos. Offer them a warm Amaretto or Peppermint Mocha Cappuccino with a candy cane swizzle. Or, invite your customers in from the cold for a steaming cup of our premium classic Hot Cocoa. Made with the finest ingredients, our products will delight palates the way they have for almost forty years.

Caffe D’Vita’s products have a long shelf life, are kosher and gluten free, are quick to make and can be used hot or cold. For Cappuccinos simply mix with hot water or for a Blended Iced Coffee, Frappe, or Fruit Smoothie use either a blender or granita machine. The premium ingredients are guaranteed to produce accurate serving results every time. For foodservice customers, our unique customer service and promotional support is backed by our depth of experience serving the premium beverage industry.

To contact us, simply call us at 800-200-5005 x315. Caffe D’Vita’s premium foodservice products will exceed your quality and taste standards as our Cappuccino products have for over 37 years.

Caffe D’Vita Pumpkin Delight Smoothie Recipe

/in , , /by

By Kara Mae Adamo

Walking briskly through the streets, you can smell it. The cinnamon brooms hung on doors – the smell of freshly brewed cappuccino and coffee. Leaves are just on the brink of changing – building up to their brilliant, fiery crescendo of light and color before the winter’s end. Brisk autumn wind has begun swirling through in the mornings and at night. Daylight is charmed with bright blue skies and light jackets.

Among the many images of fall, pumpkins rein king. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soups, pumpkin ales and even pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin raviolis have shown up in restaurants and coffee houses from coast to coast. Served hot or cold, in dinner, desserts, or drinks, the spicy sweetness of pumpkin can be found everywhere. A North American native, the pumpkin has been an integral part of the holiday tradition for centuries.

Celebrate the season with Caffe D’Vita’s delicious recipe for a “Pumpkin Delight” smoothie. Made with their premium Vanilla Base Cream Smoothie, this recipe will be sure to delight the senses of everyone. Not to be outdone, for a warm and tasty treat you might also try Caffe D’Vita’s Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino.

Caffe D’Vita Pumpkin Delight Smoothie

Ingredients:

Crushed Ice

Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Base mix

Pumpkin Pie Filling

Half and Half

Water

Cinnamon

Whipped Cream

Directions:

Pour 1/3 cup of Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Base mix into a blender. Add the ½ cup of Pumpkin Pie filling, 2 ounces of Half & Half, and 2 ounces of water. Add the ice and blend. Take a 16 ounce glass and fill it with ice. Add that amount of ice to the blender and blend everything on low, then on high, and then on “pulse.” Check the consistency. It should be smooth; not too thick and not too watery. Pour the Pumpkin Delight drink into a glass and top it with whipped cream. Garnish it with cloves or cinnamon.

Caffe D’Vita Enchanted Chai, A Premium Chai Experience

/in , , /by

If you’re a big fan of chai drinks and want to know how to make these at home, then Caffe D’Vita Enchanted Chai drinks may just be right for you. Caffe D’Vita’s Spiced Tea Latte and Vanilla Tea Latte are pre-mixed powder blends; all you’ll need to make these delicious concoctions is a cup and some hot water for hot chai or a blender, water and ice for blended ice Chai lattes.

What exactly is a chai drink?

Chai is an age-old drink that comes from India where the word “chai” means tea. But chai isn’t just any ordinary tea; it contains special blends of spices, called Masala in India, which makes the tea much more delicious and satisfying than normal tea. Another benefit that chai tea has involves the health benefits that the tea and the spices added to the tea can provide. These drinks have become quite popular in tea and coffee houses and now it is possible to easily make chai tea at home. Read more

Using a Caffe D’Vita Cappuccino Mix in Your Store, Office and at Home

/in /by

Caffe D’Vita’s Cappuccino mix has become very popular with those who don’t have coffee making equipment in their retail store or who make their own specialty espresso drinks at work or home. Not everyone has a machine that can pull espresso shots and, to that end, there needs to be alternatives for those who don’t want to pay $5 or more for their morning coffee.

A mix allows you to simply add hot water and enjoy your beverage. For your store customers, use a coffee cart or counter area with air pots, which you can get from cash and carry, restaurant supply or online sources. As far as quality, this is not the same as instant coffee, however. These mixes usually contain a variety of flavors and don’t have the characteristically harsh flavor of instant coffee.

A Caffe D’Vita Cappuccino mix will produce a different beverage, in several regards, than will an espresso machine. The basic formula for a traditional cappuccino is one part espresso, one part milk and one part foam. Because an espresso shot is only 1oz, you can see how small this drink truly is. For most Americans, this will be far less beverage than they’re used to in the morning. Making a traditional cappuccino is a complex process, as well, and not everyone has the time to do it. This means that there are a large number of people out there looking for something different.

Hot water and an air pot or thermos is all you need

Enter the Caffe D’Vita Cappuccino mix. With some hot water, and nothing else, you can make a Caffe D’Vita Cappuccino mix and be on your way. Because it is premixed, you can make larger or smaller drinks by simply increasing the proportions. With a traditional espresso machine, this would require you to brew multiple shots of latte, steam and foam to make the proper drink. With the Caffe D’Vita mixes, you’re also able to brew up a flavored cappuccino mix with no syrup or extra steps. You can just buy the mix with the desired flavorings already added, which saves a lot of time and hassle and saves money at the same time.

If you’ve developed a love of fine coffee but don’t want to shell out for a machine to brew it, you can still enjoy a good cappuccino. Often times, you’ll find that you get better results by using these mixes than you would by making your own with a machine. Given that espresso machines can easily cost over $400, it’s much cheaper to get by with mixes for your store or home.

Caffe D’Vita Cappuccino mixes are available in a variety of popular gourmet flavors. Visit Caffe D’Vita at www.caffedvita.com

Make A Delicious Caramel Latte Blended Iced Coffeehouse Drink At Home

/1 Comment/in , /by

The blended iced caramel latte is probably the most popular frozen beverage served in coffee houses and cafes all over the United States. Here is a recipe you can make at home with Caffe D’Vita’s Caramel Latte Blended Iced mix

Caramel Latte Blended Iced Coffeehouse Beverage Recipe

Makes 1 – 12oz beverage
Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup fresh Espresso or brewed coffee, cold or room temperature
  • 1/3 cup milk (low-fat or non-fat milk foams up better than whole milk, you can also use soy milk)
  • 2 heaping tablespoons Caffe D’Vita Caramel Latte Blended Iced mix
  • 2/3 glass of crushed ice

    Optional

  • Caramel syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Straw

Directions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. You don’t need a commercial blender.
  2. Blend using low speed then high speed to the consistency of “mud”. If you get “stuck”, use your “pulse control” and add more liquid
  3. Pour into glass and add syrup and whipped cream to taste

Getting the right combination of ingredients and the right consistency takes a little practice but soon you will be making these drinks and all of their variations for friends and family.

Want to cut the calories? Forgo the extra caramel, whipped cream and use non-fat milk or just water. Also, keep an eye on portion size. A 120z. portion should be enough to satisfy most home users although coffee houses serve 12, 16 and 24 oz. versions. Cost difference between homemade and coffee house versions might be as much as a $3.50 savings per drink!

America’s First Premium Cappuccino Mix

/in /by

In the early 1970’s Al Greene realized that coffee sales were dramatically increasing in the American market. Part of this change was due to technology and the ability to produce good coffee quickly and easily.

Coffee houses sprang up and boomed, premium coffees became popular and coffee was becoming a recreational beverage consumed around the world. It was clear that coffee and coffee drinks were here to stay and would become part of a changing lifestyle.

With this expanded growth came new markets, one with an international flavor. To meet this demand Al Greene formed Brad Barry Company and pioneered development of the first commercially available Instant Cappuccino at the retail level.

Initially, we introduced Caffe D’Vita Cappuccino in the Southern California market in 1974 where it was an immediate success. Now in its thirty-fifth year, with national distribution from coast-to-coast, Caffe D’Vita continues to innovate by creating distinctive drinks for all to enjoy.

Caffe D’Vita is recognized in the specialty coffee industry as ‘The Premium Beverage Mix”. Consistently beating the competition in blind taste tests Caffe D’Vita’s award-winning flavors are the result of premium ingredients we blend to make every cup a rich, creamy and flavorful experience. Using the best Arabica coffees, premium creamer system and other quality ingredients we are still proud to be making Caffe D’Vita Cappuccino. After three decades and over one billion servings of Cappuccino, Brad Barry has grown into an internationally recognized manufacturer that services Retail, Clubs, Food Service and Export customers.

During its history the company has continued to innovate and bring additional products to the market, most notably our Premium Hot Cocoa, Espresso and Enchanted Chai Tea Lattes. Also, knowing our customers are a valuable resource we have responded to their needs and have introduced various Caffe D’Vita products in sugar-free versions using Splenda®.

Now, entering our thirty-fifth year, we are very excited to be adding ‘Blended Ice Coffees’ and ‘Fruit Cream Smoothie Mix’ to our Product Line. These new drinks are easily mixed with water and ice to create smooth, creamy, and delicious blended drinks. They represent our commitment to stay at the forefront of technology, taste and style.

Brad Barry Company is continually striving to meet our customers’ expectations by introducing newly developed products, maintaining our standards of excellence, while providing the most enjoyable “Premium Instant Beverages” available today!

Remember, “Drink Premium™” and Enjoy!
