Once you get your new office coffee machine there is a little bit further to go in ensuring that your new drinks station is a success. We have a few key factors for you to consider when thinking about how to manage this.
Location
Choosing a location for your machine may come down to where the water mains but most of you will have a little more flexibility. Machine can make a small amount of noise when brewing so consider opting for a location far away from where people might be trying to concentrate. Also make sure there is enough room for people to manoeuvre around the machine so they aren't bumping into desks etc.
Quality
If you have invested in a great machine but fill it with sub standard products then you won't come close to getting the coffee outcome you have been wanting. Choosing the best possible beans, tea, chocolate & milk means that you get a great brew that everyone in your workplace will rave about. Anything else is a false economy.
Responsibility
A great office coffee machine needs looking after not only to protect your investment but to keep the drinks hygienic and to keep the drinks station tidy so everyone has a pleasant experience using it. The ideal way to achieve this is to have a dedicated person or rota so that cleaning cycles are never missed, supplies are replenished and spills are tidied up quickly. No one will enjoy using a machine that is grubby.
Costs
Upfront costs are important but you must factor in your ongoing costs if you want to get the best from your machine. Really think about how much you will need to spend on the supplies including cleaning products. Avoid unexpected costs by taking out one of our hassle free maintenance agreements once your warranty has ended so you don't have to pay for unforeseen call outs.
