We recently partnered with [Beaudry Express](https://www.facebook.com/Beaudry-Express-147587181926316/), a convenience store located in Elk River, MN and installed a new bean-to-cup machine. The goal was to provide their consumers with an experience they desired while getting gas and their coffee fix. We asked them the same questions we will ask you... What makes a great cup of coffee? Is it the experience? The variety of options? The taste of your favorite coffee bean?

Here's what Beaudry Express consumers had to say about how the new bean-to-cup machine met and exceeded their expectations...

## 1. It's Quick

The bean-to-cup coffee machine makes a hot cup of [Caribou Coffee](https://blog.bernicks.com/blog/caribou-on-the-loose-how-c-stores-are-offering-consumers-handcrafted-coffee) in just minutes. This means no lines and no waiting. The machine allows the consumer to become the barista, while providing quick coffee cup turnaround time. Now, they can save time while getting the same quality coffee they get at their usual coffee shop. 

## 2. It's Convenient

It's fast, easy, and will get you to work on time with enough caffeine to get you through the morning!

Consumers can also add a shot of espresso if they desire; cup sizes range from small (12 ounces) to large (16 ounces). Other coffee drinks and hot beverages include:
