Corporate Coffee Solutions
It's a great idea to have regular coffee breaks in the office!
Many businesses consider a coffee maker to be an essential piece of equipment.
Excellent corporate coffee solutions is a necessary prerequisite.
For those who are in charge of setting up their office's pantry, picking the right coffee machine might be a daunting undertaking.
What kind of office coffee machine you have, what kind and strength of beans you use, how often you drink coffee, and what brewing methods you have to choose from are just a few of the many considerations you have to make.
What's the best office machine?
In a sense, they are the most widely used (best) office coffee machines, and this article explains the four most common and popular models of these machines so that you may make an informed decision.
Bean to Cup Coffee Machines
One of the most popular bean to cup coffee machines is the Franke system.
They're the most adaptable and convenient office coffee makers because they can create a cup of joe at the press of a button and don't require any special training to use.
Fresh beans are ground and brewed in the coffee brewer on demand. To meet a wide range of needs, these coffee makers are available in a variety of footprints and production capabilities.
You can choose a machine with a smaller or larger footprint and output capacity depending on the amount of coffee drunk in your office.
Single serve coffee machines like the Nespresso machine
Single serve coffee machines work by using coffee pods or coffee capsules, depending on the brand. Each coffee pod or capsule can only be used once. It's good for one single cup of coffee.
With these machines, the brewing system usually lets you make either an espresso or a long black coffee. There are some more advanced machines that can also mix in milk to make milk-based coffees like a latte or a cappuccino.
Semi-automatic espresso machines, such as the La Marzocco.
We're referring to the semi-automatic commercial espresso machines that are commonly found in specialty coffee shops.
These machines are powerful and high-quality, and they're widely considered to be the best sort of coffee machine out there. However, in order to accomplish so, the system will necessitate the use of skilled operators and a separate coffee bean grinder. Large, sophisticated offices like Facebook and Google, which employ more than 300 employees, typically make use of these equipment.
A full espresso machine can be a great option for your workplace if you have the space and budget for an office pantry, possibly even one that is run by a skilled barista. Because of the machine's presence and the superior beverage quality it produces, it may be the best office coffee solution available out there.
Nescafe Milano Duo Instant Coffee Maker
When using an instant coffee machine, rather than a bean-to-cup machine, you'll use a blend of instant coffee powder and water instead of freshly ground beans. As a result, using this machine to make a typical espresso is impossible.
On the other hand, because of the several hoppers included in most instant coffee machines, it's possible to make a much wider range of drinks. A non dairy creamer and hot chocolate powder are common additions to instant coffee. However, matcha powder and milk tea powder are becoming more popular options in the workplace.
