All coffee beans used in the Costa Express hot and cold drinks self-serve machines are made using [Costa Coffee's Mocha Italia Signature Blend, which is 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified with the use of fresh milk.

Nick Orrin, Costa Express director UK & Ireland, said: "Costa Express is synonymous with exceptional coffee on-the-go, so we're delighted to be able to rollout our Costa Express hot and iced drinks machine this summer. The technology used in these state-of-the-art machines is nothing short of a gold-standard level of innovation – a world's first for the self-service coffee machine industry. What's more, we are giving our customers what they have been asking for from us – their favourite crafted coffee, personalised for how they want it and when they want it."
