Ellis Coffee Introduces Smartfruit Refreshers with High-Margin Profits for Operators
Ellis Coffee, one of the oldest family-owned and operated coffee roasters in the US since 1854, is proud to announce the launch of Smartfruit Refreshers—a delicious new addition to the company’s beverage portfolio. Just in time for the summer season, these vibrant, lightly caffeinated fruit blends are a perfect way to satisfy customer demand for flavorful, health-conscious drinks while boosting profitability for operators.
Smartfruit Refreshers are a versatile, easy-to-prepare beverage option made with no added sugar, GMOs, or artificial ingredients, and are both gluten-free and vegan. Infused with hydrating coconut water and powered by green coffee bean extract, they deliver 34mg of plant-based caffeine per serving. At only 50 calories per 16oz drink, customers can enjoy a guilt-free, energizing beverage that’s as functional as it is refreshing.
Smartfruit Refreshers are available in six bold flavors:
- Dragonfruit Elderberry
- Strawberry Açaí
- Watermelon Cucumber Mint
- Kiwi Mint Lemongrass
- Starfruit Passionfruit Mango
- Lemonade
To further enjoy our flavors, try some of our recipes:
- Lemon Lift Spritz (with tequila, lemon, and mint)
- Creamy Refresher (with plant-based milk and freeze-dried fruit)
- Fizzy Refresher (with soda water for a bubbly finish)

Smartfruit Refreshers offer operators a high-margin product with wide appeal. Each bottle yields 16 drinks at just $1.00 per serving cost, with retail prices ranging from $3.99 to $4.99 (as of May 2025). That means an average profit margin of 300–400%, making this summer-ready drink a smart addition to any menu.
Quick to make and endlessly customizable, Smartfruit Refreshers can be served with soda water, milk, lemonade, or even alcohol for a fruit-forward cocktail. Garnish with freeze-dried fruit for added flair and flavor. All it takes is a shaker and 60 seconds to create a vibrant drink your customers will crave.
