Coffee Shop in you Office

Heading to the local coffee shop for coffee and snacks is can now
a thing of the past. With the advent of the automated coffee machines like the Jura, you can get any coffee variety you want.

Coffee is still the most sought after beverage in the office environment. One of the most pondered decisions an office has to make while buying an office coffee machine is whether to buy a machine that makes use of instant coffee or one that grinds coffee beans fresh to prepare the drink, also known as the bean-to-cup coffee machine. The choice normally comes down to cost versus quality, and those office that have a priority on their employees or their clients, tend to lean toward the bean-to-cup machines.

  • The cost difference between an instant and coffee beans machine is based not only on the raw coffee because the electronics and hardware required to grind the coffee beans and make coffee is specialized compared to the instant coffee machines, which require essentially a small boiler. The quality of the brew makes it worth the cost. There is nothing like the aroma of freshly ground and brewed coffee, especially when it is shade grown specialty grade coffee. The cost per cup is slightly higher for the bean based variety
  • As regards the taste, the taste of instant coffee will differ from the bean-to-cup machine. Ground coffee would be have a stronger aroma and cleaner taste, instead of the bitterer instant coffee.
  • The time taken to prepare instant coffee is quicker than the bean coffee, but the difference is worth it, seems as it is only about 15 seconds longer


     

With an instant machine you will not stem the flow of your staff is frequenting the local coffee shop at coffee breaks or for lunch. However setting up an office bean-to-cup machine for their coffee breaks can happen in the office, and therefore drive increase productivity.
