Coffee Maker Cup Service

By: Jenny Matthews

Since coffee became a staple in the American diet - with more than half of inhabiting adults (those 18 and over) - consuming at least 6 ounces diurnally, the coffee service industry sprouted, giving the disgruntled worker a way to recharge at work. Employers loved it. They got more work and better quality work out of their employees for a fraction of the expense. To best suit their needs, employers choose from four options, each in varying degrees of cost and quality.
<BR><BR>The first option, which happens to be the most inexpensive for the employer to provide, is coffee vending machines. Yes, vendors - we've all experienced their amazing quality. That's the not the point. The point, at least to the employer, is reaping the benefits for the lowest possible cost. That, of course, means vending machines. Coffee vendors instantly dispense brewed, hot coffee into a small disposable cup for half a dollar, give or take ten cents. The number one drawback, naturally for this infrequently cleaned, high moisture, cheap ground environment is understandably poor taste. But the employee pays his way, so it is self-paying for the employer.
<BR><BR>Electric coffee machines are cleaner than vending machines because you can clean them as need be without calling a maintenance team (very inconvenient). The company machine may vary in type from single Coffee maker cup using a pre-packaged, single serve pod to 12-cup grind-and-drip-brew maker. It depends on the office needs. People prefer the brewing options and taste to vendor coffee. The company may have a standard coffee ground offering near the pot, but the preferred protocol is for you to bring your own or at least take turns amongst co-workers.
<BR><BR>You may be familiar with this one: frac pacs or fraction packs. These strange-sounding coffee things are not machines but what you put in them to make your brew, coffee portioned in small packets. Standard serving size per pack is two ounces (not the same as fluid ounces) which make 8 cups - a good-sized pot that is perfect for the workplace. Using a fraction pack means you don't have to measure or guess, just add water, knowing how much coffee you're good for. There are many flavors available, both caffeinated and decaffeinated. Cost-wise expect to pay a dollar per pack. The flavor is not as good as freshly ground coffee but definitely beats vending machine coffee.
