Estate Select Coffee From NYC’s Greenest Roaster

Posted by Alex in About CDC | Coffee | Environmental Issues - (0 Comments)

We would like to congratulate our roaster, Eldorado Coffee Roasters, on the news of their 240.24 kilowatt solar array. Over the course of the year, Eldorado will generate enough clean solar energy to offset 100% of their electricity needs. We proudly join them in proclaiming Eldorado to be “the only green coffee roaster in New York City.”

Our Roaster Is Now 100% Solar Powered!

Eldorado Coffee Roasters, locally based in Queens, NY, sources the beans, roasts, and packs Coffee Distributing Corp.’s private label Estate Select brand of coffee. Eldorado has been our primary roaster for many years. We have always been proud to use a local roaster with a strong commitment to quality. Add in a renewed commitment to sustainability, and we are even prouder of our ongoing partnership.

CDC's Estate Select Coffee: Expertly Roasted In Queens NY

Our Estate Select brand of coffee is available in both whole bean bags and ground fractional packs. Estate Select is a particularly popular option for our “wholesale” customers, such as delis, for whom we can offer not just great-tasting coffee options, but also an entire program of branded promotional materials.

Estate Select Coffee Bean and Ground

A Wide Variety Of Estate Select Bean And Ground Coffees Are Available

Estate Select is an increasingly-popular office coffee solution as well, particularly with our single-cup pods and pod machines. As the more well-known single-cup office coffee solutions become more expensive, low-cost pods (which brew a superior cup of coffee) are becoming an increasingly attractive option.

Timothy’s Frac and Bean Coffee Discontinued

Posted by Alex in CDC News | Coffee | Product Information - (0 Comments)

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which now owns Timothy’s Coffee, has decided to discontinue producing Timothy’s bean and ground fractional (frac) pack coffee. Once we run out of these items, they will no longer be available.

Timothy's Coffee Discontinued Letter From Green Mountain

Timothy's Announcement Letter From Green Mountain Coffee Roasters

Affected products include:

  • Timothy’s Italian Blend Bean 5 lb (TIMIB)
  • Timothy’s Breakfast Blend 2.5 oz (TBB)
  • Timothy’s Cafe Noisette Hazelnut 2.5 oz (TCN)
  • Timothy’s Colombian Milano 2.5 oz (TCM)
  • Timothy’s Decaf Colombian 2.5 oz (TDEC)
  • Timothy’s Italian Blend 2.5 oz (TIMI2)
  • Timothy’s Private Blend 2.5 oz (TPB)
  • Timothy’s German Chocolate Cake 2.5 oz (TGC)

A wide range of Green Mountain coffees — including Dark Magic, House Blend, Breakfast Blend, Hazelnut, Colombian Supremo, Decaf Colombian, French Roast, and many more — are available to replace the above discontinued products. Please note that Green Mountain offers more variety, including a range of product weights, but may not be able to exactly match the 2.5 ounce frac pack size you are used to from Timothy’s.

Now may also be a good time to try our premium Estate Select coffees, sourced globally and roasted locally here in Queens, New York. Contact your salesperson or our customer service department to discuss your options.

K-Cup customers: Please note that a number of Timothy’s K-Cup coffees and teas are still available. This announcement only affects ground and bean coffees.

Estate Select Cups Now Available!

Posted by Alex in CDC News | New Product - (0 Comments)

Exciting news: our branded Estate Select cups are now available! These are the same style hot paper cups that we have been selling for years, now available with our Estate Select artwork instead of the generic “envy” design.

Estate Select Coffee Distributing Corp. Paper Hot Cups

4 Sizes Of Paper Cups Now Available With Estate Select Artwork

Estate Select cups are currently available in four sizes: 10 ounce “squat” (ESCUP10), 12 ounce (ESCUP12), 16 ounce (ESCUP16), and 20 ounce (ESCUP20). All four sizes use the same lids: flat (LIDF) or dome (LIDD).

Estate Select cups are just the latest addition to our growing line of Estate Select branded materials. We recently started shipping our coffee (the same, great coffee) in new Estate Select frac packs, started outfitting pod brewers with Estate Select artwork, and made available Estate Select point-of-sale materials such as signs, airpot wraps, and loyalty cards.

Cups Join Our Existing Lineup Of Estate Select Branded Materials

Note that we still carry the generic “envy” design cups and you will only receive Estate Select cups if you specifically request them. All of our available cups and the corresponding lids are outlined on our cups and lids pdf page.

Estate Select: Same Great Coffee, Impressive New Packaging

Posted by Alex in About CDC | Coffee | Product Information - (0 Comments)

Just as we’ve done with our private label pod coffee, we are rolling out new artwork for our Estate Select Colombian Supremo ground fractional packs. The coffee is exactly the same — ground from the same beans, roasted at the same local facility, and filled from the same hoppers. We decided that this new film offers a better look. Also, it matches our new Estate Select Point of Sale materials. What do you think?

To ease the transition, for the next couple of weeks, cases of Colombian Supremo will include a mix of bags in the old and new film.
