Regardless of the size of your healthcare organisation business, it is highly likely that there will be a sizeable portion of coffee lovers in your midst. Deciding which machine to purchase, however, for not only the preferences of your team, but for your business is crucial.
Whether this is about cutting down on overheads, the amount of people your machine is required to serve or ease of maintenance, each business has unique needs.
With over 50 years of acquired knowledge in providing coffee machines for your healthcare organisation, at Nexus we are aware of the key factors that are important when choosing a hot drinks dispenser.
When it comes to hot drinks dispensers for healthcare organisations, the two most popular types of machines are bean to cup and single serve. When making a decision about which is best for your company there are three crucial factors that should be thought about– machine maintenance, hot drink selection, and whether you will charge.
Maintaining your healthcare organisation coffee machine
Bean to cup machines grind coffee internally, this means that they will need to be disassembled after a certain amount of use for cleaning. Whilst the time between cleaning will vary from model-to-model, in workplaces with larger teams, this can mean fairly frequent maintenance.
This problem can, however, be navigated to some degree if your business is willing to train staff properly on how and when to clean the healthcare organisation coffee machine. As a result of their capsule brewing method, opting to go with a single serve machine can be another, more convenient, way to solve this problem.
The hot drink selection that suits your healthcare organisation
The second key element to bear in mind when deciding between these two options is hot drink selection.
Despite coffee often being the go-to choice of hot drink in most workplaces, it is important to ensure that everyone’s preferences are accounted for. At Nexus Drinks, our single serve Flavia and Klix models serve some of the UK’s most popular hot drinks brands, such as Mars, Kenco, and Yorkshire Tea.
These machines are perfect for healthcare organisations people have varied tastes.
Charging for drinks
When it comes to choosing a hot drinks machine for your healthcare organisation, it is also crucial to consider the price of hot drinks. In smaller teams, offering free hot drinks can be an inexpensive booster of morale, but in larger teams this can become pricey very quickly. Our machines, such as the Flavia, can be fitted to charge for drinks if you think this would better suit your business.
Can using coffee machines in healthcare organisations be environmentally friendly?
At Nexus, we are knowledgeable of the environmental issues that are associated with packaging. This is why we work closely with organisations such as Terracycle for packaging that is more difficult to recycle and also guarantee that we supply sustainably packaged options in every area that we can.
