Flow by Blendsmiths: Barista-Quality Beverages Without the Barista
If only there was a product out there that tasted great, on par with a barista-made latte, but could be served in more than half the time with next-to-no skill set required. That’s exactly what customers were looking for. And that’s why Flow by Blendsmiths exists.
For businesses, stocking Flow means offering your customers an impressive, well-rounded drinks menu without added complexity. For your customers? It means enjoying a barista-style Matcha, Chai, or Hot Chocolate at the touch of a button.
Why Flow Works for Businesses
Whether you manage an office space, run a co-working hub, or supply vending and coffee machines, Flow is a smart addition. Stocking our full range means you’re offering something truly unique: not many (if any) other brands offer automated Chai, Chocolate, and the first-to-market powdered Matcha designed specifically for machines. It's a product range that sets us apart.
If you're an employer, Flow gives you the chance to show your team that you care. Imagine the impact of offering top-tier drinks in your break room. It’s not just about having a drink, it’s about wellbeing, culture, and workplace satisfaction.
What Customers Are Saying
We showcased Flow at the London Coffee Festival, and the response was phenomenal. People loved it. One visitor exclaimed, “My mind is blown that I can get a Matcha latte in seconds at the touch of a button!” Another told their partner, “This is an absolute game-changer.” Honestly? That’s exactly how we felt when we launched it.
And once they tried it, the feedback only got better. “Wow! It already has a bit of sweetness in there!” someone said after trying the Matcha. That sweetness comes from the granulated sugar we blend through each mix to enhance the taste.
Flavour That Stands Out
Each Flow blend is thoughtfully crafted using high-quality ingredients. The Matcha, for example, combines 28% ceremonial grade matcha with granulated sugar and a flowing agent to keep it machine-friendly without compromising flavour. The taste? Smooth and earthy with a naturally sweet, well-balanced finish.
The Chai is a warming blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, star anise, cardamom, black pepper, clove, and sugar. It’s bold yet balanced, spicy without being overpowering.
And then there’s the Chocolate. This isn’t just any hot chocolate. Made with 26% cocoa, it’s rich, creamy, and utterly indulgent. I find it tastes best with liquid milk, but it works just as well with powdered milk, showing just how versatile the Flow range truly is.
Designed for Machines, Loved by People
Another game-changing aspect, Flow’s machine compatibility. Thanks to the addition of a safe flowing agent, our powdered blends don’t clog or damage internal parts, something that always intrigues machine manufacturers during initial talks. For businesses selling machines, that’s music to their ears.
In short, Flow gives you barista-level quality, bolstered menu offerings with unmatched efficiency.
