SEATTLE, April 21, 2017 – RipplesTM, the innovative IoT company behind the Ripple MakerTM, a revolutionary device that produces ANY image or message (known as a ripple) onto a foam topped coffee has unveiled the latest version of its device optimized for Nitro Cold Brew Coffee. In addition, Ripples has announced a partnership with JoeTap, one of the pioneers of the Nitro trend and leader in on-demand Nitro Cold Brew, to bring best practices in the delivery of Nitro coffee to coffee serving establishments.

The Ripple Maker combines two of the biggest trends in coffee, Nitro cold brew drinks, and custom coffee art. It turns ordinary coffee routines into amazing social experiences, allowing any business serving coffee to create extraordinary moments of engagement with customers that drive revenue and loyalty.

Each ripple is created using a tiny amount of coffee extract, stored within a Ripple PodTM located inside the Ripple Maker. The high-resolution images, created in a matter of seconds, enrich the coffee experience with gorgeous graphics, inspiring statements, clever commentary, and personalized messages.

The Ripple Maker’s new functionality developed for Nitro drinks is being unveiled at the Global Specialty Coffee Expo and demonstrated at the Ripples booth #2436, alongside JoeTap’s barista countertop Nitro dispenser with an integrated nitrogen generator.

“Already deployed in hundreds of stores, hotels, and lounges the Ripple Maker has been delivering a proven increase in customer engagement and sales,” said Yossi Meshulam, CEO of Ripples. “Thanks to our new Ripple Maker optimized for Nitro and our partnership with JoeTap, we are excited to offer even broader consumer reach and social media opportunities to our customers looking to differentiate themselves through creative content.”
