How to find the perfect coffee station for your office
Buying a coffee bar should be well considered – with a bit of preparation and structure you can ensure that your coffee corner is just the way you want it. We'll help you find the right coffee station.
First step: define requirements
Think about what criteria your future coffee bar should fulfil. For example, ask yourself: How big should the coffee station or tea kitchen be and for what purpose should it be set up? How many cups are needed per day? Which coffee specialities should be offered? It is best to visualise the coffee station.
Second step: Analyse the location
It is essential to consider where the coffee bar should be located. Outside or inside? In the office space or a separate room? Make sure that the coffee machines you choose are suitable for the environment.
Third step: Determine assortment and filling quantity
Of course, all employees, clients, and guests should be able to enjoy different coffee specialities. To achieve this, the hot beverages must always be in stock – even at peak times and on special occasions. Depending on the location, it may be necessary to fill your coffee station daily. For this, we advise you to pay close attention to the preferences of your guests, employees, and clients.
