The days when stale water dragged from plastic gallon containers or crates were a staple of office life are over. Sustainability and smart hydration management are the new standards. If you are engaging with innovative solutions for Beverages, you have surely come across the name Bevi.

But what about availability in Europe? In this article, you will learn all about Bevi.co and why ReDrink is the ideal, locally adapted alternative for companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

What is Bevi.co and what makes the Smart Water Cooler so special?

Bevi.co is a pioneering American company from Boston, founded in 2013 by Eliza Becton, Sean Grundy, and Frank Lee. Their vision: to revolutionise the beverage market and completely eliminate single-use plastic.

A Bevi Smart Water Cooler® is far more than a simple water dispenser. It is an internet-enabled IoT device that transforms filtered tap water into an individualised taste experience.

The key features of Bevi:

• Variety at the touch of a button: Still, sparkling, with natural flavours or functional additives (vitamins, electrolytes).

• IoT Connectivity: Real-time monitoring of consumption data and automatic service notifications.

• User Experience: Modern touch interfaces for intuitive operation.

• Sustainability: Thousands of plastic bottles are saved annually per location.

Availability: Is Bevi available in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland?

Bevi has firmly established itself in North America (USA & Canada) with over 6,000 installations. In early 2025, the company launched its first international expansion in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The hurdle for the DACH region: As of today (early 2026), there is no comprehensive service infrastructure or official availability of Bevi in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland comparable to the US market. This poses significant hurdles for local companies:

1. Lack of on-site service: Maintenance and installation are critical with complex IoT water dispensers.

2. Import hurdles: Logistic costs and customs issues often make the solution uneconomical.

3. Different standards: German drinking water regulations and hygiene standards (like DIN standards) are stricter than in the USA.
