From bean to brew: the art of the perfect vending machine coffee
The perfect cup of vending machine coffee is so much more than a quick beverage. It’s part of a daily ritual followed by millions of people around the world. With its rich aromas and warming flavours, freshly brewed coffee creates a welcoming atmosphere and fuels productivity, particularly in shared working environments.
With so rich a selection available, coffee vending machines are becoming a popular fixture in offices and break rooms across the UK. Workers are realising that vending machine coffee doesn’t have to compromise on the taste and quality they enjoy in local coffee shops. They also appreciate that it offers a more affordable and convenient solution than buying a takeaway coffee, bringing further benefits to the workplace.
But what ensures great quality, taste and aroma for the perfect coffee at the touch of a button? Read on to learn how Your Refreshments ensures an uplifting experience with every cup of our bean-to-cup coffee.
Creating the perfect conditions
Great coffee starts with rich, high-quality beans.
Fairtrade is the benchmark for sustainable coffee, and we’re proud to offer a complete range of Fairtrade vending machine coffee. Your Refreshments directly supports the Rwandan co-operative Point Foundation, which is where we source our first-class Caffe Praego coffee beans.
Rwanda’s sub-Saharan high altitudes, tropical rainfalls and volcanic soils create ideal growing conditions for beans. From pick to pour, Caffe Praego supplies the best speciality coffee with an aromatic and distinct taste.
Not only does our coffee taste fantastic, but it also has a positive social impact. 10% of the profits from our coffee sales go directly to the Point Foundation to support the families that grow the beans. This means that when you choose Your Refreshments as your bean-to-cup coffee supplier, you also support the Point Foundation’s work.
Using the right equipment
In today’s thriving coffee market, there’s no end of tools you can purchase to help craft the perfect coffee, including milk frothers, handheld whisks and coffee tampers. Or, you can rely on a machine to do all of the work for you.
At Your Refreshments, we’re proud to supply quality bean-to-cup coffee vending machines, so that you can get an authentic, barista-like coffee experience in your workplace. Our machines:
