Unic, an Origine France Garantie label

Concerned about the origin and quality of the products we manufacture, we work every day to offer our customers the best coffee machines, whether traditional or automatic. With the Origine France Garantie label, we offer an additional commitment to the quality of the products we offer.

Origine France Garantie Label: a demanding label

With more demanding criteria than those of Made in France, the Origine France Garantie label, awarded by an independent certifying body, has established itself as a reference label, awarded to the UNIC brand since 2012. The objective of this label: to ensure that the brand manufactures its products 100% in France and that at least 50% of the manufacturing costs (including raw materials) of the product are of French origin. Checks are carried out every year. At UNIC, we are proud to exceed the 50% required for certification. All stages (R&D, supply, cutting, folding, stripping, polishing, welding, painting, pre-assembly, machine assembly, fitting, dressing) are therefore entirely controlled at our Carros site. All of our TANGO, STELLA EPIC, AURA and CLASSIC ranges have the Origine France Garantie label.

Why did you choose France?

With its focus on Europe and the international market, UNIC is nevertheless a brand that is keen to promote its French production, a guarantee of quality, reliability, robustness and precision. Manufacturing in France also encourages short circuits and limits the environmental impact of products by respecting strict environmental standards during production. This also ensures that jobs are safeguarded in France and supports the economic sovereignty of our country by preserving know-how. Finally, we also ensure the recyclability of machines in France. At UNIC, these values are part of our daily requirements.

The history of coffee: where does it come from?

2 billion cups of coffee are drunk every day around the world*. This is to say if this singular drink has been able to impose itself over time. Inseparable from the culture of the world, coffee has a rich history. Let's discover black gold...

Coffee: a drink that has traveled

Let’s talk about etymology first… The word coffee comes from the Arabic “qahwah” which means invigorating. According to some linguists, it could also come from the word “Kaffa“, the name of the province of Ethiopia where it was discovered. Coffee is a drink obtained from the seeds of the coffee tree, a shrub of tropical regions. And its culture is not new! From the fifteenth century, Muslims imported it to Persia, Egypt, North Africa and Turkey, where the first café, called Kiva Han, opened in 1475 in Constantinople.

 

In France, it was in Marseille that coffee made its appearance in 1644. A French merchant, Pierre de La Roque, would have had the initiative to import it from Egypt and make some amateurs taste it… The success is immediate and the drink seduces. Building on its rapid success, coffee consumption became popular over the years. However, coffee is still a drink reserved for the elite, as it is still a particularly expensive product.

 

The democratization of coffee

Then introduced to the Sun King by an ambassador on a trip in 1669, Louis XIV appreciated him for a time but not enough to offer him his hour of glory… It will come only a few years later, in 1686, with the opening of the famous café Le Procope, where La Fontaine and Voltaire will have the pleasure (and the habit!) of tasting. Over time, coffee consumption is gradually democratized and enters the homes of many French, in large cities at first, before spreading to the countryside during the nineteenth century.

 

Today, coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. In pods, ground, soluble, at the office, at home or at the local bistro: in 2018, the EU imported more than 3 million tons of coffee from abroad**.

The Health Benefits of Coffee

Famous stimulant, coffee has no equal to give a boost and many are those to sip it as soon as you jump out of bed to start the day. But do you know that it is rich in many other virtues? An update on its amazing benefits.

Coffee gives a boost

And yes, coffee is first a very appreciable stimulant (and very appreciated!). The coffee bean is indeed rich in caffeine, an active substance that acts in the brain and is known for its stimulating effect, both physically and intellectually.

 

It is rich in antioxidants

But coffee doesn’t just contain caffeine. It is also rich in antioxidants, more precisely the famous polyphenols, so valuable for health, which protect the body from aging and have anti-inflammatory virtues on the arteries. Drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day would even reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 20%, according to an Australian study by the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. It would also reduce the risk of diabetes by 30% and help protect the liver.

 

It contains vitamins

We do not always know it and yet, coffee is also a source of many vitamins, including B2, B3, B5 and B6, fiber, potassium, magnesium or calcium, all nutrients that the body needs to fuel at full speed and stay healthy. Coffee beans are thus real concentrates of protective compounds. No reason not to.

 

Coffee helps burn fat.

The icing on the cake, the caffeine contained in coffee stimulates lipolysis, that is to say the destruction of fat by the body. A real boost to help burn a few calories and particularly interesting when you monitor your weight and therefore your health.

 

Good use of coffee

To enjoy the benefits of coffee without its deleterious effects, it is recommended to limit your consumption to 4 cups per day. Want to drink more? You can also opt for the decaffeinated version of coffee: a good idea to enjoy its taste, without any risk!
