Bevi moves beyond water, unveils brand refresh and fully Connected Beverage Platform. GlobeNewswire | Bevi Today at 6:05am PDT The Bevi Signature Countertop featuring an updated, intuitive user interface, set to roll out across machines this year. BOSTON, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Bevi today announced a brand refresh designed to better reflect the company's evolution from the creator of the Smart Water Cooler(R) to the leading connected beverage platform for commercial spaces. This next chapter is marked by the introduction of several new products that diversify Bevi's offerings beyond water, cementing its position at the forefront of the commercial beverage category. Bevi Expands Functional Beverage Offerings, Delivering Nutrition with Hydration A recent EY Consumer Beverage Survey found that wellness expectations are now shaping how consumers evaluate beverage choices. As a result, the interest in functional beverage options has increased dramatically in recent years - with research firms predicting the better-for-you beverage market will hit $355.5 billion by 2033. To continue meeting this rapid demand, Bevi is adding a new functional enhancement to build on its existing offerings, which include Vitamin Boost, Electrolytes, Energy Boost, and Focus Blend. In addition, the company is introducing its first soda option and new hardware, deepening its commitment to building a healthier, more sustainable world, one drink at a time. Specifically, Bevi is announcing: * Prebiotics - Bevi's fifth wellness enhancement, offering 4 grams of fiber per 12oz serving to bring personalized, prebiotic power to every drink. Bevi Prebiotics is unsweetened and can be combined with other Bevi flavors and enhancements for all-day drinkability. * BeviPop(TM)- Bevi's better-for-you soda uses all natural flavors and no artificial sweeteners. Crafted solely for use in Bevi machines, BeviPop will give drinkers options beyond water that are healthier and more sustainable than traditional soda brands. * Signature Countertop - The next era of the Bevi countertop machine, the Signature Countertop offers expanded customization with 8 flavor slots and the ability to mix up to 5 flavors and enhancements at once - including cold and ambient temperature options, with a hot water accessory planned as a future add-on. That's thousands of possible drink combinations available in one machine. The Signature Countertop also features crisper carbonation, advanced filtration, and an updated, intuitive user interface. With the introduction of BeviPop, customers will have the opportunity to add three new beverage selections to their Bevi machines: * Prebiotic BeviPop - This guilt-free, carbonated drink has added fiber, making enjoying soda an active part of wellness routines. * BeviSport - A sports drink without the sugar crash, BeviSport is a fully customizable, electrolyte-boosted beverage with less sugar and no synthetic dyes. * BeviEnergy - A low-sugar, caffeinated beverage that delivers all the benefits of an energy drink, without the artificial ingredients. Each of these products will be made available later this year. In addition to the above, Bevi has also added a new, all-electric BeviMobile to its growing fleet of mobile beverage-testing vehicles. Acting as a user research experience on wheels, the BeviMobiles travel around the United States to offer a taste of the future of beverages to consumers. Bevi: The Leading Connected Beverage Platform With the launch of its expanded offerings, Bevi is establishing itself as the leading connected beverage platform, combining hardware, data, and beverage innovation to deliver still, sparkling, flavored, and enhanced drinks on demand. Bevi's updated branding, which will be gradually introduced to machine interfaces throughout 2026, reflects this evolution and ensures greater alignment with the company's long-term vision. As Bevi continues to scale, it remains dedicated to transforming the way the world drinks by making beverages fun, customizable, sustainable, and - most of all - delicious. "Bevi is more than a water cooler; we are the operating system for the modern beverage," said Cathy Lewenberg, CEO, Bevi.
