Why Employees love the Espresso Fresco Office coffee service

Coffee Lovers rebel against high prices

Most people who like good coffee at work don't realise just how much it costs them, but many are beginning to – and they are doing something about it.

The average coffee drinker picks up their favourite cappuccino or latte on their way into work and then pops down to the local café twice more during the day for another caffeine fix. At an average price of $3.60, those three cups per day amount to a massive $2,700 per year! And the cost will only continue to rise.

More and more employers are now providing an in-house coffee service for the staff . In some cases the employer covers the cost and, in others, the staff form a "coffee club" and contribute.

In the past this hasn't been workable for two reasons. Coffee machines require maintenance and servicing and it was always difficult to rely on staff members to do this and consequently the coffee machines inevitably break down. In addition, most rental contracts were for a fixed period and staff members come and go.

The advent of services such as the "Espresso fresco coffee club service" has solved these problems and made it very simple for staff members to band together and enjoy great café quality coffee for around one third of the usual price!

Provided the staff coffee club has at least 15 members, Espresso Fresco will provide a top quality automatic coffee machine free of charge and with no contractual period.

With the "Office club service" now available, it's no surprise that many employees are enjoying readily available, premium café quality coffee with no fuss or maintenance worries and saving, on average, around $2,000 per year each.

Why Employers love the Espresso Fresco Office Coffee Service

The high cost of coffee is not limited to those who buy it

In offices today the "smoko break", which used to cost employers substantially in terms of time lost and productivity is rapidly being replaced by the "coffee break" . Many employees who are coffee lovers shun the instant coffee usually provided by the employer and now nip down several times a day to the local café for a quick brew. But the "quick brew" is often not so quick.

If each coffee drinker "grabs a quick brew" three times per day and it takes an average of 20 minutes (by the time they wait in line, chat to co-workers etc) the cost to the employer is one hour per day per employee. At an average salary plus on-costs of, say, $50 per hour*, this is a direct cost to the employer of around $12,000 per year per employee.

This is a cost which rarely appears on the books but many employers have now realised just how real it is.

The obvious answer is to provide an "in office" facility for café style coffees to replace the old instant coffee and so many businesses bought automatic coffee machines. However, in the past this has had its problems for the simple reason that all automatic coffee machines require regular and thorough servicing and it is difficult if not impossible to find staff members prepared to do it and consequently the machines either break down or the quality of the coffee deteriorates.

In addition to this, many businesses do not want to commit to either a capital cost nor an extensive lease period in the current climate.

The advent of services such as the "Espresso fresco coffee service" has solved all of these problems and made it very simple and cost effective for employers to provide such an "in office" facility for providing premium quality coffee to their staff at a total cost of around $1 per cup!

Consequently, with no capital expenditure nor long term commitment, employers are reducing the cost of "coffee breaks" from around $12,000 to around $720 per annum per employee ……….and their staff thank them for it!
