Bevi is a smart, connected water cooler that dispenses still, sparkling and flavoured water on tap from a single plumbed-in unit. Controlled via a touchscreen and a linked app, it is designed to cut bottled water use in offices, gyms, hotels and other workplaces. ADS Coffee Supplies installs and supports Bevi smart water coolers across the UK.
What is Bevi?
Think of Bevi as a water cooler that has been rethought for a workplace where people want more than one option. Instead of a jug of tap water and a crate of bottles in the kitchen, one machine handles chilled still water, sparkling water and flavoured variations, all drawn from the mains and filtered on site.
The “smart” part is the connectivity. The unit has a touchscreen for selecting drinks and it reports back on usage and service status, so refills and maintenance can be planned rather than discovered when something runs dry.
It sits in the same part of the business as your coffee setup but does a different job. Plenty of sites run a Bevi alongside a bean-to-cup machine from our machines range, covering hot and cold drinks without two separate suppliers.
How the Bevi smart water cooler works
Plumbed in, not bottled
Bevi connects to your mains water supply rather than taking 19-litre bottles. Water passes through filtration before it is chilled, carbonated or flavoured, which is why the unit needs a water connection, a drain and a power socket in roughly the same spot.
Filtration matters for taste as much as for the machine itself. If you already run filtered water into an espresso machine, the principle is familiar, and our machine filtration range exists for the same reason: mains water quality varies enormously across the UK.
Flavour and carbonation
Flavours are held in cartridges inside the unit and dosed into the water as it is poured. Carbonation is produced on demand, so sparkling water is made at the point of serve rather than stored.
Touchscreen and app
Users choose their drink on the screen. Behind that, the connected side of the system tracks consumption and flags when a cartridge or service visit is due, which is the difference between a managed cold drinks system and a cooler nobody looks after. Bevi sits within our wider cold drink systems range.
What drinks can you get from Bevi
One cabinet, several outcomes. The exact flavour line-up depends on the cartridges you stock, but the core choices are consistent:
- Chilled still water, filtered from the mains
- Sparkling water, carbonated on demand
- Flavoured still water
- Flavoured sparkling water
For sites that also want hot chocolate, milkshakes or soft drinks in the break area, our other drinks range covers the rest of the offer. Bevi handles water; it is not trying to be everything.
Who is Bevi designed for
Any site where a lot of people drink a lot of water, and where the current answer is plastic bottles. That usually means:
- Offices and workplaces wanting to stop buying and storing bottled water
- Gyms and leisure sites with constant refill demand
- Hotels offering water in meeting spaces, gyms and public areas
- Larger reception and breakout areas where a standard cooler looks tired and runs out
It is less suited to a small café counter or a two-person office. The economics work when volume is high enough to justify the plumbing and the service arrangement, which is something we will be straight with you about at enquiry stage.
Bevi compared with bottled water and standard coolers
| Bottled water | Bottle-fed cooler | Bevi | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water source | Delivered bottles | Delivered 19-litre bottles | Filtered mains |
| Storage needed | Significant | Spare bottles on site | Cartridges only |
| Drinks available | Whatever you bought | Still, sometimes chilled only | Still, sparkling and flavoured |
| Single-use plastic | High | Reduced | Minimal |
| Manual handling | Deliveries to unpack | Lifting bottles onto the unit | None |
| Installation | None | Plug in | Plumbing and drain required |
The honest trade-off is upfront work. A bottle-fed cooler can be running in ten minutes; the Bevi unit needs a proper install. In return you stop paying for water to be driven to you in plastic, and nobody has to wrestle a full bottle onto a cradle.
Getting Bevi installed at your workplace
What happens first
We start with a conversation about headcount, the space and what is already on site. From there, a survey confirms the water connection, drainage and power, and whether the location you have in mind actually works in practice.
Quote and installation
Pricing depends on model, usage and site requirements, so we quote per site rather than publishing a figure. The quote covers the unit, installation and ongoing support, including cartridge supply.
We have been supplying and servicing drinks equipment since 1993, so the install is handled by people who have done it before and will still be answering the phone next year.
Bevi suits sites that already get through a lot of bottled water and want that cost and clutter gone. If the volume is there, the case usually makes itself within the first quarter.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bevi a coffee machine?
No. Bevi is a water cooler, not a coffee machine. It filters mains water and dispenses it still, sparkling or flavoured, so it sits alongside your coffee setup rather than replacing it. Many offices run Bevi next to a bean-to-cup or espresso machine.
Does a Bevi machine need plumbing?
Yes. Bevi connects directly to your mains water supply and typically needs a drain line as well as a standard power socket. A site survey confirms what is needed before installation, which is why we recommend getting in touch before ordering.
How much does a Bevi smart water cooler cost?
Pricing depends on the model, volume of use and site requirements, so there is no single fixed figure. Contact ADS Coffee Supplies with details of your space and we will put together a quote, including delivery and installation.
Can Bevi make sparkling water as well as still?
Yes. Bevi units are built to offer a choice of still and sparkling water from the same machine, often alongside flavoured options, so users select what they want from the touchscreen rather than needing separate dispensers.
