The Ideal 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.

Despite the name companies that offer this kind of service are not just offering this beverage. They could also offer tea, hot chocolate and other types of drinks. They may offer snacks as well, something that can be very useful for employees as they need to keep their energy up throughout the day.

Reputation is also important when you are looking at someone to supply refreshments for your office. You want someone with a reputation for being prompt and who will arrive and offer refreshments when you and your employees need them. They ought to be willing to work to your needs and the requirements of your employees. For example they should know if someone likes to leave their tea bag in their tea or if someone likes one or two sugars.

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.

The difficulty comes when you have a mixture of people who want the authentic experience and someone who wants something quick. Therefore ideally you want someone who is reasonably flexible. They ought to be able to quickly mix up drinks but also be able to brew something authentic as well. It is also important to see what they offer alongside the drinks such as cakes, cookies or sandwiches. As more people eat at their desks this becomes more and more important.

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.

There is a wide array of services available online. It is best to talk to at least three different businesses before choosing someone to serve your coffee. If you are looking for a machine then it is worth looking for product reviews and customer feedback to find something reliable. With the right approach you can ensure that your employees are always properly happy and refreshed!
