In the not too distant past people expected very little from their workplace coffee but now everyone is a coffee connoisseur with their own sophisticated individual tastes and we have all been exposed to high quality coffee on the regular so our expectations are high.
A bean to cup office coffee machine is a great way to meet these demands. Often the coffees are of such a high quality that they are indistinguishable from a coffee made by hand. So how can you ensure that your bean to cup machine a consistently delivers a satisfying cup of coffee? We have some great tips.
QUALITY BEANS
Having the best coffee beans in your machine will make all the difference to the quality of your coffee which is why we always recommend Lavazza Coffee Beans. Lavazza has been creating blends that the Italians have loved for the last 130 years and it is a firm customer favourite. So much so that its the only coffee we sell.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR BEANS
If your beans are stale then you won't get the coffee experience you are after. It may be tempting to just dump your whole bag of beans into the hopper and be done with it but you will be doing you and your coffee a disservice. Coffee beans react quickly with oxygen so you want to keep them in an airtight, opaque container for as long as possible to maintain their freshness. Add only the beans you feel will be used in the very short term to ensure you get a tasty brew.
A CLEAN MACHINE
Bean to cup office coffee machines require very regular cleaning especially of the milk tubes for a good cup. The best way to make sure this is done is to have a person or two who is dedicated to maintaining the machine. Hoping someone else will do it in a busy office means no one will do it and dirty machines not only causes bad coffee it also is a major cause of machine faults.
A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERTHING IN IT'S PLACE
Having a pleasing bean to cup office coffee machine station will make its use more enjoyable. Keep it clean and organised. Make sure there is a bin so rubbish is easily thrown away and keep handy cleaning wipes with easy reach so spills are wiped up promptly.
Having an ample supply of coffee cups, sugar and milk make brewing a coffee a snap but you should consider offering plant based milks, cinnamon, syrups & cocoa powder to give staff the full barista experience. Having a table top water cooler such as one from our Borg & Overstrom range can really tie it all together.
The finishing touch might be using glassware instead of crockery as bean to cup office coffee machines often produce beautifully layered drinks and this little detail can really impress.
