Selecting An Office Coffee Service

By Luisa Sharpe


In recent times people have wanted to maximise their time in the office. This means fewer people spend time going out to lunch. Therefore the office coffee service has become more and more important. The right one can help ensure that people maintain their productivity as they are properly refreshed.

The first thing to look for is an experienced company. If the company has been serving businesses for a number of years in the local area then they are more likely to know what you want. Furthermore these will often be the kind of businesses that other companies are likely to recommend.

A machine should also be relatively inexpensive to maintain. Some filter machines are very simple and only need basic cleaning. For the simplest operation it is worth looking for machines that can either be quickly rinsed or are dishwasher safe in order to ensure you get the most user friendly device.

There is also the issue of what sort of coffee they like. Some people like strong espresso style coffee in order to keep them awake. Inevitably these people will want something authentic and therefore you would want a company that is able to provide the best quality beverage. Despite the name there may be other types of drinks that they would like as well such as tea or hot chocolate.

In order to find the ideal one you need to look for experienced people. They tend to be more aware of what people want. Generally the companies that have been operating for a number of years will also tend to be the ones that get the most positive word of mouth. They also tend to be the people that know when to stick with traditional options and when to adapt to changing tastes.

Flexibility is also a key consideration. In recent times it is not enough to offer coffee and tea. Some people want decaf tea and coffee. Other people want hot chocolate while other people may want herbal or fruit tea. There is also the issue of how personal they make the service. Some companies may turn up, make the refreshments and let people stir in their milk or sugar. Others may make more effort and find out who likes two sugars, who likes one and who wants the teabag left in their cup.

It may sound obvious but it is best to have someone come to you in person. They ought to be willing to provide samples of the refreshments they provide. If they are confident in what they have to offer this should not be a problem. If they are hesitant than you should consider looking elsewhere. Ideally you should compare at least three services so that you get a good idea of what is available in the local area.

You can find numerous services online. It is best to check a number of different companies and customer feedback. This will allow you to find the best people suited to the needs of your company and the needs of your employees. Remember value for money means getting the best service for your money and not the service that is offered at the cheapest price!
