The KIMBO In-Cup on Sundair  

German airline Sundair has partnered with coffee manufacturer KIMBO on the launch of its new KIMBO In-Cup, which enables airlines and other travel media to offer passengers freshly ground rather than instant coffee.

The KIMBO In-Cup has been developed by Kimbo UK after research with travel channel operators, the press release said. It offers freshly ground 100 percent Arabica filtered coffee in a cup using an innovative lid with an integrated filter. The expertise of the company’s Neapolitan roasters means that coffee beans from some of the best origins are now available inflight.

Kimbo coffee is sealed with aluminum foil to guarantee freshness in every single cup and preserve he organoleptic properties. Once the film is removed, the cup can be filled with hot water, and the exclusive lid with the filter applied, making it ready to be served. Milk and sugar can be added without removing the lid.

The In-Cup is now available onboard on all Sundair flights. The product is the result of a partnership between the London-based team at Kimbo UK, manufacturing partner RTMBruPac, (British in-cup drinks specialist) and bb-inflight GmbH.

“Sundair chose Kimbo because it is synonymous with quality: the aromatic flavour of this fresh blend is simply the best, with pleasant aromas and a discreet bitterness, perfect to enjoy while flying,” said Marcos Rossello, CEO of Sundair.

“The partnership with Sundair is a very important opportunity for us because it gives us the possibility of offering a distinctive product and collaborating with an extraordinary company both for its vision and in terms of targets. Thanks to its presence in the main Italian and European airports and distribution in over 100 countries, today Kimbo is the perfect coffee choice before, after and now, even during the flight!” said Luca Piccini, Director of International Business Unit at Kimbo.

Kimbo was founded in 1963 in Naples and is today present with its products in 100 countries.
