Knowing Your Coffeemaker Cup Options in the Coffee Industry

By: Jenny Matthews

"Coffee" and "work" go together like a hand in a glove. Even coffee bean abstainers who work in an office, at a factory or on a farm know firsthand of this caffeine phenomenon. Statistics confirm that a believable half, or 50 percent of American residents, imbibes this dark Coffee maker cup at least once during the day according to the SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America). Offices in particular drive the coffee service, an industry that specializes in delivering coffee at a low cost to employees. Employers prefer establishing this method for their employees as a way of keeping them in the workplace to maximize output rather than wasting precious work time traveling to and from the nearby coffee shop.
<BR><BR>Vendors are practical for high traffic settings. Textile factories (where pieces of cloth are sown by trained sewing machine operators into clothing and curtains), for example, have many workers. Their coffee break is short, the typical 10 minutes. So the reality of them making and waiting for an entire pot to drip before they sip is nada. Coffee vendors quickly drip a Coffee maker cup per 55 cents on the average upon coin insertion. Fast, hot caffeine is appealing to weary or harried, as the case may be, workers. But this perk is not without its negatives, most notably - taste. Due to the constant moisture inside the machine and cheap, bitter grounds, the cup is of very poor quality, the lowest of all four coffee service options.
<BR><BR>The more common office alternative to vendors is electric coffeemakers. These are ideally suited for smaller settings - a research team, office meeting or kitchen - where a 12-cup decanter is sufficient. With an electric cup coffee machine, there is no coin slot (yay!), but then someone (perhaps you) must have enough initiative to make it. Employers usually supply a generic ground coffee which rivals vendors in the taste department. This is intentional. For one thing, if you don't like the flavor, you are far more inclined to bring your own, thus, saving the company some money.
<BR><BR>Perhaps the cheapest way to go with coffee is using a drip coffeemaker and what is known as a "fraction pack." A fraction pack is a packet of pre-portioned coffee grounds. It differs from coffee pods in size and shape. Packs don't just have enough for 1 Coffee maker cup but 8 (generally speaking). They run a little over a dollar per pack - sometimes as much as two, but then you have a pot for the office for the morning. Take up a collection, and the coffee will pay for itself.
