Why Use Self-Serve Technology For Kombucha?
Unlike other beverages, kombucha is a fermented product. Maintaining the fermentation process safely and healthily requires careful long-shelf storage, which is why our tap systems are so invaluable. Aside from making drinks accessible to patrons, the customized system also maintains the ideal taste, freshness, and probiotic content better than aluminum cans or other methods of serving.
Maintaining Live Cultures: As a fermented beverage, the active probiotics in kombucha require specific conditions to thrive. Our system prevents temperature fluctuations and maintains just the right pressure, guaranteeing kombucha that offers its full health benefits.
Preventing Cross-Contamination: Kombucha's organic acids and live bacteria can interact with residues in poorly maintained lines, causing contamination that impacts flavor at best and can be dangerous at worst. Effective design, installation, and maintenance helps prevent unwanted microbial growth and the buildup of yeast or sugar deposits.
