Introduction: Coffee Needs for Non-Profits
Non-profit organisations provide a much-needed service for a wide range of charitable needs, trade unions, resident’s associations, and other support services. Those employed by non-profit companies work in often challenging environments and it is important to run a workplace that is effective but also allows for those times to destress and unwind a little. This is where Cuco Coffee can help with a range of commercial coffee machines that provide staff with tasty speciality hot beverages that help to improve team morale, build in proper break times and offer barista-style coffee that doesn’t come at the price you’d pay at the local coffee shop.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Coffee Machine
There are a few factors that you must consider when choosing a good coffee machine for office use. First thing to do is to think about the size of your non-profit organisation and how many people work in the offices. This will help you to choose the right size coffee machine for your needs (more of that in a moment). Other considerations include the tastes of your workforce, and whether or not you are planning to greet visitors to your building with a cup of coffee. Barista-style coffee makes a great first impression to any guest, and this could sway you towards a certain type of machine or range of hot beverages. The budget you have in play is also a consideration, with coffee machine rental options more cost-effective than purchasing a coffee machine outright.
Top Budget-Friendly Coffee Machines
Finding budget-friendly corporate coffee machines to fulfil the needs of your non-profit workplace isn’t as difficult as you might think. We have a range of coffee machines available to rent and suitable for a wide range of office environments and coffee tastes.
Entry-Level Options
Cuco 50 is the perfect coffee machine for small to medium-sized businesses. It is also a convenient entry-level coffee machine for larger businesses that require coffee facilities around conference rooms and meeting spaces. This machine offers 24 speciality coffees up to a recommended daily usage of 35 cups.
Mid-Range Choices
Cuco 100 steps up the offering, with 24 beverages to choose from but a larger output of up to 100 recommended daily cups. It is simple to use, offering freshly ground bean-to-cup coffee and is suitable for growing businesses with plenty of visitors and staff on site at any given time.
Best for Large Groups
For larger businesses, Cuco 200 is perfect to offer speciality coffee and other hot drinks to large groups of people each day. This operates well up to 200 cups per day, with simple and fast operation and 31 drinks to choose from, including cappuccino, latte, flat white, hot chocolate, and tea.
Maintenance and Operation Costs
As every machine is different, and every office is different in terms of footfall around the coffee machine each day and the output required, the costs will differ, but we are always happy to have an honest discussion to find you the most suitable option for your non-profit office. As part of the service, we offer a weekly maintenance of the coffee machine, fully re-stocking it and ensuring that it is operating to an optimal level.
Tips for Maximizing Value and Efficiency
The two biggest things to maximise the value and efficiency of your office coffee machine is regular cleaning and ensuring your staff know how to use the machine. We will come to your office to show you how to use the machine and its capabilities. This helps you to choose the most suitable model for your needs but also trains your staff in how to be effective in its daily use. Second, get into the routine of cleaning down the coffee station at the end of every day, so that it is fresh and ready to go the next morning. Third, regular maintenance to ensure the coffee machine is in full working order helps to maximise value, and as mentioned above, this is part of the Cuco Coffee service.
Conclusion: Choosing the Right Coffee Machine for Your Non-Profit
Investing in a coffee machine for your non-profit office will make all the difference to boosting staff morale, offering a first great impression to any visitors, and providing barista-style coffee at a cost-effective rate.
