The Hidden costs of cheap office coffee machines.
That “bargain” machine might cost you more than you think!
Buying a cheap coffee machine for the office might seem like a win, until it starts leaking, clogging or brewing borderline undrinkable coffee. If your team ends up leaving the office daily and queuing for their caffeine fix, is it really saving your business anything?
Here’s what those budget machines often leave out:
Poor Taste, Lower Morale
Bad coffee = unhappy staff. That cheap unit might tick a box, but if it churns out burnt shots or watery brews, it’s not helping anyone stick around the kitchen or the office.
Cheap Machines Break Often
Most budget models aren’t built for office use. Expect breakdowns, cleaning dramas, and frustrated staff when nothing works by 9am. More downtime = more dollars spent fixing it or replacing it sooner than expected.
Hidden Costs Multiply
Low-cost machines come with higher running costs:
- More energy usage
- No self-cleaning
- Wasted beans and milk
- Time lost while staff head out to buy real coffee
