Determine your coffee consumption

Our own research shows that, on average, we drink four cups of coffee per day at work. Sound familiar? Or are you and your colleagues more into tea? And not unimportant: do you regularly receive guests at the office? Make sure your coffee machine isn’t too big or too small by mapping out how many cups of coffee employees and guests drink on average. This is an important first step in choosing the right machine

Choose the brewing method that suits your workplace

Consider how many cups of coffee your employees drink daily. This way, you can select a machine with the right capacity to meet demand, without providing too much or too little.

Espresso machines

Ideal for lovers of high-quality coffee with a rich flavor, but they require more time and maintenance.

Suitable for larger teams, with a familiar taste and easy maintenance.

Instant coffee machines

Perfect for fast service with minimal maintenance, although the taste often doesn’t match that of freshly brewed coffee.

Cafitesse-machines

Working with liquid coffee concentrate allows for fast preparation and consistent flavor, with the added benefit of a longer shelf life.

Capsule machines

They offer convenience and variety, but keep in mind the environmental impact and the cost per cup

What to consider when choosing your coffee machine

Maintenance and cleaning requirements

Some machines require more frequent cleaning and maintenance than others. Espresso machines often need daily attention, while filter and instant machines are usually easier to maintain. When choosing your machine, consider how much time your team can dedicate to maintenance.

Brewing time per cup

In a dynamic work environment, the brewing time per cup is important. Instant and Cafitesse machines brew coffee extremely quickly, while espresso machines take longer but deliver higher quality coffee.

The right service contract

Service contracts vary depending on the type of machine and ownership model. For rented machines, service is often included, while purchased machines usually require a separate contract. Choose a contract that fits the needs of your machine and your company’s budget.

Aligning with your company's values

Consider how the choice of coffee machine reflects your company’s values. If sustainability is important, for example, choose machines with recyclable cups or a model that minimizes waste. Also, make sure the machine’s capacity matches the size and usage of your team.

More satisfaction and productivity with the right coffee machine

Choosing the right coffee machine is about finding the balance between quality, efficiency, and your company’s values. By identifying your team’s needs and preferences, you can select a machine that contributes to greater satisfaction and productivity in the workplace.
