There is no single price for office coffee service, because no two breakrooms use coffee the same way. What you pay is driven by a handful of predictable factors. Knowing them makes it easier to compare quotes and to design a program that fits your budget.
Headcount and cups per day
Consumption, not square footage, is the biggest driver. A team that drinks two cups per person each morning uses far more product than one that drinks a cup after lunch.
Equipment type
Single-cup brewers, batch brewers, and bean-to-cup espresso machines differ in equipment cost and in cost per cup. Leasing or renting spreads equipment cost over time instead of a large purchase.
Product mix
Coffee, tea, creamers, sweeteners, cups, and hot chocolate all add up. A focused product list costs less than a wide one.
- Premium vs. everyday coffee
- Portion packs vs. bulk
- Whether cups, plates, and cutlery are included
Number of breakrooms and visit frequency
Each additional breakroom adds equipment and stocking time. Weekly visits cost differently than biweekly ones. A walkthrough is the fastest way to get an accurate quote.
