DS Waters Announces Creation of Unified National Coffee Service

PORTLAND, Ore. December 12, 2006 – DS Waters, the leading provider of bottled water products and bottled water delivery across the United States, today announced the establishment of a unified coffee delivery service under the name “Roast2Coast.” Roast2Coast, which has its support quarters in Portland, Oregon, brings together all of the DS Waters regional coffee delivery businesses – including many that have been in existence for over 25 years – while continuing to offer the same high-quality level of coffee service that its customers have come to expect.

“Coffee is one of the least-expensive employee benefits, but it is also one of the most appreciated,” said Sheryl Evans, vice president of coffee development, DS Waters. “We are pleased to provide a variety of coffee blends and products that meet the tastes and requirements of the most discriminating offices and businesses across the United States.”

With over 150 branches across the country, Roast2Coast provides businesses with superior coffee service; incidental supplies, including cups, sugar, and stir sticks; and teas, snacks, soups, and more. Coffee brands offered include well-known, popular names as well as blends that are particular to specific regions. The company has also recently added a new selection of creamers to its extensive menu. Break rooms are restocked as needed by a Roast2Coast representative, ensuring that sufficient supplies are always in place. Coffee service can be provided alone or in conjunction with bottled water delivery.

Roast2Coast is pleased to offer its regional coffee service customers many great discounts and specials, including volume discounts and deals on certain brands or coffee flavors. In addition, the company offers businesses the option of requesting a brew demo, at which time a consultant will visit the office and offer employees a sample of coffee flavors based on the business’s budget and flavor preferences. Employees can then vote on which coffees will be available in their office.

For more information about the Roast2Coast coffee service, including brands offered and delivery areas, or to sign up for service, please visit the newly launched website at Roast2Coast.com.
