The Best Office Coffee Products for Every Price Point

A whopping 66% of employees start their workday with a cup of coffee, and the trips they take from the office to the coffee shop add up to over a week's worth of lost time over the course of a year. On top of that, it's costing them $2,800 annually to get their Java fix. That's all according to a 2023 survey by Flavia.

If you're a workplace manager looking to jazz up your office vibe and make it more welcoming, here's a tip: bring that coffee shop feel to your workplace. Before you panic, know that you don't need to curate a smooth jazz playlist or import an aspiring screenplay writer to build a competitive employee experience. With the right corporate coffee selection and accompaniments, your employees will be excited about coming back into the office one cup at a time.

Because enticing experiences often come with a hefty price tag, we've put together this guide to help you satisfy your team's caffeine craving, no matter what your budget sheet looks like this quarter. ☕

Whole Coffee Beans

First and foremost, investing in fresh, high-quality beans is key. Coffee drinkers know the difference between a good bean and a bad one, and they’ll gladly leave the office for a cup of joe if you're only stocking subpar options. The good news is that delicious, newly harvested beans are available at every price point. So, whether you want to be conservative with your spending or splurge, you’ll have a variety that your employees and accountants will love equally.
