Coffee is the second most traded product in the world after oil, says the British Coffee Association, and like any other commodity, the price goes up and down depending on supply and demand. But does your local coffee shop ever drop their prices ?
Well, if you’re unhappy with the price you’re paying for a cup of coffee – you may want to consider buying or renting an office coffee maker For office coffee or a home brew, going the DIY route makes perfect ‘cents’.
But how does the costing work?
For some facts and figures about workplace coffee machines, Freshboost, a leading light in coffee vending machines in Perth, WA came to the rescue.
Obviously, costs are dependent on the size of the office coffee maker, with one of the largest machines able to handle the needs of 200 or more employees.
But to give you an idea, a cafe quality espresso from Nespresso’s newest and cheapest office coffee machine costs under 70c – while an espresso made in a Woolworths’ Caffitaly System S14 coffee machine using the Woolies select capsule costs a meagre 37c. Doesn’t that make you feel a little hot under the collar when you think about what you’re paying at your local coffee shop? $3.50? $4.00? Even $5.00?
Even when you add up the additional costs of providing sugar, sweeteners, milk etc – a workplace coffee maker delivers value-for-money.
And talking of delivery – that’s where the office coffee suppliers can also help reduce costs even further. It’s possible to negotiate free coffee machine rental if your quantities of coffee supplies warrant it. Plus, the office coffee maker supplier should offer free delivery of coffee beans, pods etc as well as competitive rates on maintenance, servicing etc.
By renting a coffee maker from one of Perth’s leading suppliers of workplace espresso machines such as Freshboost, could give your business more than just a caffeine boost – it could be a cash boost!.
