Office coffee and drink machine come in such an enormous variety these days that choosing the right one for your office can be really easy depends how much you use. Do you go for fresh coffee or instant drinks, fully automatic or self serve, coin operated, or free vend?

Choosing an office coffee machine is not like choosing a computer or a video projector. Drinks machines need daily care and sanitising by a designated member of staff and regular servicing by professional engineers. The ingredients will need to be topped up daily, cash collected and accounted for and supplies ordered well in advance.

Also you should decide if whether to go free vend or have staff and visitors pay for their drinks.Free vend is a great perk to give your staff and visitors but obviously comes with considerable cost, although you may find better productivity because of it especially as it avoids time waiting for kettles to boil, brewers to finish etc that might otherwise be the case. With coin controlled versions you can set the vend price to cover the cost of the machine, maintenance and ingredients to break even or maybe make a profit.
