Why Great Coffee Matters in the Office
Behind every successful person is a substantial amount of coffee. If you want every person in your team to be successful, make sure there’s good quality coffee available.
Coffee fuels the moments that drive success. Those impromptu conversations over a fresh cup often spark the best ideas. It’s around the coffee machine where brainstorming happens naturally, problems get solved, and colleagues share insights that can transform projects. The energy boost from a well-made coffee gives people the mental clarity they need to tackle challenges and think creatively.
But coffee also provides the perfect excuse for a proper break. There’s something deeply satisfying about taking five minutes to enjoy the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, perhaps with a biscuit, while having a relaxing chat with a colleague. These moments help people de-stress, recharge, and return to their desks with renewed focus and energy.
To make this happen consistently, you need the right coffee machine for your office. Your team uses coffee machines multiple times daily, expects them to taste great consistently, and doesn’t want to deal with a temperamental machine that breaks down. With Lavazza Professional’s Barista Collection, you can bring proper Italian coffee culture into your workplace – think high street café quality without the queue or the price tag.
Finding the right machine means matching your office size, usage patterns, and your team’s coffee preferences. From compact tabletop solutions for smaller offices to high-capacity floor-standing machines for large corporate environments, there’s a perfect fit for every workplace.
Understanding Your Office Coffee Needs
Choosing the right office coffee machine means thinking about a few key things:
Team Size and Daily Usage
How many people work in your office, and how much coffee do they drink? A machine that’s perfect for a 40-person office will struggle during the morning rush in a 100+ person workplace.
Available Space
Office layouts vary. Some have dedicated kitchen areas that can accommodate floor-standing machines, while others need compact tabletop solutions that fit into existing spaces without overwhelming the area.
Coffee Preferences
Your team has varied tastes – some prefer a simple black coffee, while others need their morning oat milk latte. The best office machines cater to everyone without being complicated to use, so nobody’s waiting ages trying to figure out how to get their usual order.
Maintenance and Management
Office coffee machines need to be reliable and easy to maintain. Look for machines that handle themselves – automated cleaning, clear indicators when something needs attention, and minimal daily intervention required. Your facilities team has enough on their plate already.
Technology and Features
Modern office machines have come a long way from basic push-button models. Today’s machines offer touchscreen interfaces, customisable drink options, nutritional information, and mobile app connectivity. These features make the machines easier to use and help you understand how much coffee your office actually gets through.
