How to Turn Your Office Coffee Station into a Company Perk

A better way to rise and grind

Is there a better way to start the work day than with a perfect cup of coffee? For millions of Americans, the answer is no. Walmart Business can help you create a office coffee station of your employees’ dreams with just a few clicks.

Start with the right coffee machine

On a relaxing Sunday morning, coffee drinkers might pull out the French press or espresso machine. But on a busy weekday morning, speed and efficiency are the name of the game. 

A smart choice is a dual-purpose coffee maker that brews both carafes and single-serve mugs. Your office manager can brew a pot or two first thing in the morning so anyone can help themselves to a cup whenever they need a caffeine boost.

Equip your break room

Speaking of cups, you’ll want to provide your team with plenty of them. Basic coffee mugs start at under two dollars, but at holiday time or when celebrating company achievements, mugs with a bit more personality make excellent employee gifts. You’ll also want to stock up on stirrers and cleaning supplies.

Stock up on high-quality java

As long as the coffee you choose is delicious and caffeinated, it’s hard to go wrong. If your office is small enough, you can ask your employees to list their favorite flavors and roast levels. You’ll also want to stock some decaf varieties.

If you get a dual-purpose coffee maker, single-serve pods give you the opportunity to expand your roster of flavors. Look for variety packs that go beyond the basics to include indulgent flavors, cider, hot chocolate and various teas so there’s something for everyone. 

Add a dash of flavor

Not every coffee drinker enjoys the taste of a plain brew, so provide items that let them customize. Milk, half-and-half and heavy cream, as well as sugar and sugar substitutes, are all good options, as are dairy alternatives like oat and almond milk.

Walmart Business also offers a wide selection of flavored creamers. Peppermint mocha can turn a dreary winter day into a cozy one, while French vanilla and caramel are year-round favorites. And you can’t go wrong with a dash of cinnamon.

Stay cool

Don’t forget to provide options for those who want cold drink options. There’s just one problem: iced coffee needs…well, ice. The solution? A compact ice maker for the coffee area. Splurge on a self-cleaning model to save yourself time in the long run and ensure your ice maker stays in tip-top shape for years to come.
