Stokes Coffee and The Kinema in the Woods have been partnered for a year, delivering a great coffee experience to moviegoers.
The Kinema in the Woods is an independent 4 screen cinema, which has been open since 1922! Showing all the modern films, as well as concerts, ballet, opera and more.
The partnership began when one of our Account Managers, Ben, visited the historic cinema and found them experiencing coffee machine issues. We quickly resolved the issue by installing a new Coffetek X3 bean-to-cup machine, which the Kinema have been enjoying ever since!
To ensure a seamless transition before installation, Ben invited the Kinema team to our showroom and roastery, where we gave them a roastery tour, coffee tasting, and a professional training session.
“When a customer asks about the coffee, it's great to be able to give a recommendation because you genuinely like the coffee”.
Today, the cinema proudly serves Stokes signature Heritage Blend, which is provided through our zero-waste bucket scheme using reusable, returnable buckets. These buckets are delivered on a fortnightly basis, on our pre-planned delivery routes, which minimise milage and keep our deliveries as sustainable as possible. Our friendly customer service team calls ahead of these deliveries, to ensure nothing else is needed.
“One of the things we particularly love, is that we don’t get the coffee in bags and boxes anymore. We get it in plastic buckets, which are environmentally friendly.” - Kinema in the Woods
In addition to supplying the machine and ingredients; Stokes also carries out an annual equipment service for partners such as the Kinema, including water filter changes. To learn more about our servicing, click here.
