Why Great Coffee and Drinks Matter in Kitchens & Breakrooms
Breakrooms are where workplace relationships really happen. Someone microwaving lunch starts chatting with a colleague making coffee, or team members naturally gather around the coffee machine to debrief after a tough meeting. These are places where connections form and stress melts away.
Good coffee in your breakroom creates moments where people actually want to take proper breaks instead of eating lunch at their desks. It shows your team that you care about their daily experience, not just their productivity. When someone’s having a difficult day, that perfectly made cappuccino can genuinely lift their mood.
At Lavazza Professional, we bring Italian coffee culture to workplace breakrooms, delivering genuine café-quality taste, speed, and simplicity that makes every break better.
Understanding Your Kitchen & Breakroom Needs
Getting breakroom coffee right means considering these practical factors:
Team Size & Usage Patterns
Breakrooms typically serve 40-80+ people, with predictable rush periods during morning arrivals and lunch breaks. Your machine needs to handle these surges without creating queues or breakdowns.
Space Reality
Most workplace kitchens are compact with limited counter space. You need tabletop units that fit comfortably without overwhelming the area or blocking access to other appliances.
Diverse Preferences
Some people want strong espresso, others prefer milky lattes, and many appreciate non-coffee options. Your system should satisfy different tastes without being complicated to operate.
Practical Maintenance
Breakroom machines need to work reliably with minimal staff intervention. Look for systems with easy cleaning, automated maintenance alerts, and simple restocking procedures that don’t disrupt the workday.
The Three Best Machines for Kitchens & Breakrooms
Here are three excellent options from Lavazza Professional, each designed for different breakroom sizes and requirements.
Best for Smaller Teams (40+ People, Compact Bean-to-Cup)
Kometa coffee machine
Space is precious in most workplace kitchens. The Kometa delivers café-quality drinks in a compact, low-maintenance format that fits perfectly on countertops without taking over your breakroom.
Your team gets genuine barista-style coffee using fresh Lavazza Expert beans and precision brewing technology. Despite its space-saving design, Kometa serves a full menu of favorites - espressos, americanos, cappuccinos, and mochas - keeping everyone happy regardless of their coffee preferences.
The 7-inch touchscreen is simple to navigate, even during busy morning rushes when people are half-awake and need their coffee fast. The integrated milk fridge delivers real milk-based drinks with that rich, smooth taste people expect from their local café, not the powdered alternative that tastes artificial.
Fast brewing times and automated cleaning cycles keep things running smoothly with minimal fuss. Perfect for teams who want great coffee without the complexity or space requirements of larger machines.
