You woke up very early in the morning, prepared the kids’ snacks and got them ready for the school, went through the rush traffic and finally you got to work, and then you realized that you forgot to get coffee! Oh no! How are you going to function without coffee?!
We’ve put together a list of the best office coffee machines for your small business, so you won’t have to be without your dose of caffeine in the morning. Whether you want a budget-friendly pick or a specialized cold brew machine, you’ll find a coffee maker on this list that’ll keep your employees (and yourself!) happily caffeinated.
FOR THOSE THAT NEED A LARGE DOSE OF CAFFEINE
When it comes to selecting the best coffee maker for your office, the first thing to consider is how many people actually drink coffee within the office. Smaller offices which just have a few coffee drinkers can easily settle for opting for a conventional home coffee maker, whereas larger offices or corporate buildings may want to invest in a heavy duty commercial grade coffee machine to keep up with the caffeine supply and demand throughout the workday.
Coffee is an essential part of any small or large business kitchen or break-room, and here are 3 different options for those with a high-traffic area:
BUNN COFFEE BREWERBunn has long been one of the leading names in coffee machines, renown for their high quality products and their ubiquity just about everywhere coffee is made.

We know that most offices run on coffee. Investing in a quality office coffee machine for your office does not only have benefits for employees, but it can improve the whole work environment and increase workers’ productivity. Sure, there’s the caffeine (and its effect on alertness), but coffee breaks also give people a structured way to step away from their monitors—which in turn boosts morale, team-building, and overall employee health.
Taking a coffee break with colleagues during the work day is nowadays a widespread and ingrained habit in office culture. Meeting or inviting co-workers to take a coffee is a perfect occasion to foster relationships, network and talk things over in a more relaxed way. The Swedes even have a word for it, ‘Fika’, and they believe that it’s during the coffee break that most work gets done.
Delight your team with the best office coffee and create an unique culture where employees and clients feel pampered with a true café experience right in the office. Afterall as some people say, better coffee makes for a better workplace. 😉
Hopefully this brief guide has set you on the course to finding the perfect coffee maker for your office.
