Even though the way most workplaces have evolved in recent years (think about office spaces now being hybrid with a lot of home workers, for example), there is still a real desire from on-site staff to have access to a good coffee break. The humble coffee break has been around for so long and brings with it a range of benefits to the individual staff members and the company as a whole. To maximise the potential of a coffee station in a high-traffic workplace, there are a few factors that must be considered.
Choosing the Right Location
The first aspect of a successful coffee station in a high-traffic workplace is to consider its location. The most common thought is to place the coffee-making facilities in the kitchen, as would have traditionally been the case, but why restrict it to just that area? Think about how to include a coffee break in different parts of the building. For instance, a coffee machine in the reception area makes for a warm and friendly welcome to any visitors whilst providing a hot drink as they wait to be seen. Communal spaces and collaboration zones, quiet corners, and other areas where productivity is required all have their merits. Think about what you want from your coffee machine and how it can impact the different areas of the business.
Essential Equipment and Supplies
Choosing the best coffee machine to suit your office needs must include the tastes of those who will be drinking the hot beverages, and your budget is crucial. However, there is more than just the coffee machine to consider. To maximise the enjoyment of coffee for everyone in the workplace, you’ll also require coffee beans or coffee pods (depending on what type of machine you want to install), cups and stirrers, milk and sugar, and basic cleaning equipment.
Ensuring Cleanliness and Maintenance
It is important that you stick to a regular cleaning regime with a coffee machine, in the same way you do with the wider workplace. Ensure that all employees understand their role in terms of the coffee machine. A regular wipe down and clean is necessary, but when leasing an office coffee machine, you’ll be entitled to a regular service that keeps the machine clean and checks for any maintenance issues that need repairing.
Creating a Welcoming Atmosphere
The best thing about having a coffee machine in a high-traffic workplace is that it provides a warm welcome to everyone who enters the building. If it is purely for staff use, it helps to boost staff morale, brings people together and gels the team as they chat around the coffee machine. For visitors, potential customers and suppliers, it is a lovely touch to be offered a barista-style coffee of real quality, rather than a slap-and-dash instant coffee, paying lip-service to customer relationships.
