Cooking Like A Professional

If you are running an office that is trying to attract and retain your best employees, your first thought might be to increase their salaries. However, this is not always the best option because your company might not be able to do this and still be sustainable. One good option is to improve the soft amenities that you offer in the office. You could offer snacks, more frequent catered lunches, or shorter days. A popular option is to improve the office coffee. Here are some tips for doing so.

1. Include More Creams and More Roast Options

The first thing that you could do is include a wider variety of flavored creams. If you don't feel like doing the research to find higher quality coffees, you could offer more options for roasts. Some people prefer light roast and others prefer a darker roast. By offering a range of cream options and roast options, you can dramatically increase the chances that the people who work at your office will find something that they want to drink.

2. Invest in a Grinder

Switch to buying whole beans and invest in a coffee grinder. This will allow employees to grind the coffee just before the use it, which will usually result in the coffee having a much better flavor. This will allow you to make sure that your coffee tastes as good as possible, as well as show your employees that you care enough to work on improving their overall experience. Grinders are not too expensive and will not put much of a dent in the company's budget.

3. Invest in a Local Coffee Brand

If you buy coffee close to home, the company will be able to get it to you faster so that it will be more fresh. This will result in the coffee tasting better. National brands will need to vacuum pack the coffee and transport it long distances which could negatively affect the flavor.

4. Talk to a Pro

There are various small companies that you can hire to research the best beans for you and ensure that you have the right equipment to make the best office coffee possible. Consider talking to one of these companies, especially one that has just started, to see if they would be willing to give you a discount in return for some positive advertising from your company.
