Coffee Makers in the Workplace

Numerous people have a coffee maker at work. This is a great idea because it lets employees and managers alike have something in common and allows everyone have a short break from work whilst they refresh their coffee mugs. Coffee makers are used in office buildings, manufacturing plants, and almost every type of business there is from fast food to convenience stores. The office coffee maker is a place everybody can go and chit chat for a few minutes similar to a water cooler.


The typical office coffee maker is of the automatic drip variety and makes about twelve cups at one time. The funny thing is, 12 cups from a coffee maker implies about 5 ounces per cup. Nobody drinks that little so you might also assume one pot will serve six people. For a busy workplace, you may need a bigger coffee maker to cater to everyone and might even decide to use a coffee vending machine. If this is owned and operated by the company, they may lower the prices so they don't make a lot profit. This will be made up with employee morale and productivity so it evens out.


Numerous individuals feel better and more alert after drinking coffee so naturally, a coffee maker in the workplace helps everyone. The caffeine in coffee is a stimulant and should help them feel that way. If your employee is alert, there's less chance of unfinished work and injuries as they should be paying more attention to the job at hand.


The kind of coffee maker for the workplace will need to be talked about amongst all the coffee drinkers and if a fancy one is needed, everybody should support pay for it. A normal coffee maker costs between 10 to 40 dollars but fancy ones can be 60-90 dollars based on the features. These higher priced coffee makers generally come with a foamer, grinder, or some other special feature which would cause the price to be so high. You might wish to just get two cheaper ones as there is always somebody who wants decaffeinated coffee and doesn't like to mix the two types of coffee in one pot.


If you work in a big manufacturing plant or industrial building, odds are you will have to walk a long way to get a cup of coffee. Numerous of these workplaces make use of strategically placed break rooms that will have an assortment of vending machines. One of those might be a coffee vending machine or there might be a coffee maker on the counter for employees in your area to use. Make sure you have somebody clean it before you clock out or management might take it away. I have seen this occur before.


With espresso and cappuccino getting very popular, you might have one of these machines in your workplace. They cater to certain individuals usually but numerous come with a normal coffee pot on one side. This can help balance out 2 distinct tastes and make more employees happy.
