You might be planning a move to a new office. Perhaps you’re scaling quickly and needing to offload lower value tasks to make room for the higher value ones. Either way, there are several reasons why you would start to want to use an office coffee service. We’ll share the most common reasons we’ve seen over the years.
Reason #1) You’re Team Is Moving To A New Office
We know it’s not exactly fun to coordinate a move into another office. There are dozens of details you need to think about and execute flawlessly (oh, and do all your regular job stuff too). It’s easy to lose track of what needs to happen and miss details. Sorting out the coffee situation can add to your workload, and cause more worries that everything will be great on Day 1.
Here are all the reasons we’ve seen an office choose to work with an office coffee service during a move:
An office has a smooth self-managed system that is working well in their old space, but they are looking for something more hands off after the move to free up time.
The office management team wants to make a splash when they move into their new space and upgrade their coffee option with espresso, cold brew, higher quality drip coffee, or a great tea program.
The new office has a kitchenette or break room with a waterline, and it’s time to upgrade to a machine that does not to be filled with water every day. The office management team wants a service to recommend a machine, install it and manage the orders.
Reason #2) Your Team Is Growing
Growth is exciting and creates tons of opportunity, but it can put a strain on your existing workload. Coffee is usually one of the first areas where this becomes noticeable, because more people means more opinions and voices. Depending on how quickly you are scaling, it’s tough to stay on top of the amount of coffee you’ll need and keep everyone happy.
Here’s why we’ve seen offices start working with an office coffee service due to growth:
Teams find themselves spending too much time coordinating deliveries on places like Costco or Instacart, and find it tough to manage how much coffee they need each week.
More people brings more tastes and preferences into the office. People start speaking up and are looking for more variety and different options.
Reason #3) Your Coffee Equipment Is Failing You
Leaks, electrical problems, coffee tasting like batteries. Sound familiar? Well, you’re not alone. Failing coffee equipment is actually one of the biggest reasons why offices start working with a coffee vendor. Google search data supports this. One of the most searched keywords in the office coffee space is “office coffee machines”. It’s hard to say why people are searching that, but I'd bet a few dollars it’s because their machines are breaking and they need help finding new ones.

An office coffee service helps teams with failing equipment in a few different ways:
If they are strategic, an office coffee service should consult your team on the best coffee equipment for your office, even if you decide not to use them. They should have the expertise and professionalism to help make this choice easier for your team.
Most office coffee services maintain and provide service on the machines they place in offices so you don’t need to worry about it anymore.
