APIQE represents the biggest revolution in the beverage industry of the 21st century.
●
APIQE's system takes the water out of the filling, bottling and distribution of beverages. Instead, it adds back filtered tap water at the point of consumption. This adds a dimension of sustainability that has never existed before in the beverage industry and addresses the significant environmental waste and damage it causes.
●
APIQE meets world class, trademark standards of taste, quality and variety across principal and emerging beverage categories. Our multi-patented, IoT platform —consisting of an All-in-One smart appliance and advanced capsules -- makes a full range of beverages including coffee, beer, filtered, carbonated and flavored waters, soft-drinks, iced tea and juices, cider and mixed drinks.
●
APIQE offers choice for people to drink what they enjoy, as well as try new, healthy options and emerging and niche brands.
