Global beverage company Coca-Cola has unveiled its latest fountain dispenser, Coca-Cola Freestyle 9100.

With more than 200 options, the dispenser will offer low and no-calorie beverages.

Coca-Cola Freestyle vice-president general manager Chris Hellmann said: “When we introduced Freestyle, it was truly a disruptive innovation.

“Choice and customisation are not fads, they’re here to stay. So we’re focused on making sure the Coca-Cola Freestyle platform stays current and contemporary and that we continue to offer more beverages people want.”

The new Coca-Cola Freestyle 9100 will be the newest addition to the Freestyle range, and will be available across the US from next year.

“We’re focused on making sure the Coca-Cola Freestyle platform stays current and contemporary and that we continue to offer more beverages people want.”

The dispenser features a 24in, high-definition touchscreen that is designed to make it easier for users to find the beverages they want. It also comes available with Bluetooth connectivity, which allows consumers to connect to the Freestyle mobile app.

Hellmann further added: “We’ve built features into this dispenser that are not only contemporary for today.

“We’ve also future-proofed the platform with not-yet-activated features like audio capability, optical sensors and a new equipment option that will eventually support the addition of drink categories not available on Freestyle today, such as teas, cold coffees and new varieties of juices.”

The Coca-Cola Freestyle team is planning to extend its new Freestyle operating system to all dispensers in the market to enable new features, including access to a diagnostics dashboard with real-time drink inventory levels.

The new operating system integrates with the Coca-Cola Freestyle content management system (CMS) introduced last year.

Coca-Cola Freestyle launched its first unit in 2010.
