Increase employees productivity in the office

Saeco Vending Coffee Machine

I’m not a big fan of smoking; I don’t particularly enjoy the smell,taste, or expense. I am however a fan of having the choice to be able to smoke and as such, I notice how much more relaxed my colleagues appear after returning from a cigarette break.

However If one considers the tradeoff in productivity as a simple mathematic equation: 5 cigarettes per day X 6 minutes per cigarette = 30min per day, or 3.4 working weeks per annum!

Clearly many businesses have identified this and put measures into place to curb this lost productivity but have you translated this into other areas of your business? Improved efficiency can take many forms; having premium coffee is almost mandatory these days an office environment, it’s important to take time out from computer screens and the social benefits and ideas exchanged while enjoying a coffee is difficult to measure in dollar terms.

What can be measured however is the lost time in waiting for the kettle to boil, washing cups, wiping down bench tops etc. To ensure that you are balancing your staffs’ coffee experience (if you’re reading this we’ll assume you’ve already discounted the use of instant coffee) with optimum use of their time you need to consider the option of fresh milk vs powdered. If powdered milk is a viable option for your office, have you considered the clean, quick, convenience of a coffee vending machine?

If taste is the driving force in your decision, ensure that the machine you choose has an easy to use (and clean) auto frother for the fresh milk. The cost per cup can be measured in cents, the returns to your bottom line can be measured in dollars, at the end of the day however what matters to everyone is quality time and a productive working environment; a good coffee machine (automatic or vending) can deliver on both counts.

“Cheap” Saeco coffee machines from Bigpond

Can you buy a cheap coffee machine from websites such as bigpond? The short answer is yes, however it may not be the best  idea.

There is a saying; if something appears too good to be true, it probably is. Yes, these machines are genuine Saeco models, however they are not intended, manufactured, or packaged specifically for the Australian market and have not been imported through approved channels. This is known as ‘grey market importing’.

What this means for you as a consumer is that you may not receive the full product support that you have come to expect from your Saeco purchases. An example of this can be seen as soon as you open the box, if the machine was destined for a market such as Italy, the power supply cable will be different, so will need an adaptor and/or modification. Grey market imports carry very little support from the authorized importers as model and product variations may also not meet mandatory safety and certification requirements specific to each country.

As with any product buying a Saeco coffee machine from an approved importer will ensure the product and associated service will have you enjoying hassle free, great tasting coffee for many years to come instead of leaving a bitter taste in your mouth.

Do your self a favor, research your product and buy from an authorized Saeco distributor.

Coffee linked to reduced liver fibrosis

Good news for coffee lovers…..

Please have a look this study done by Researchers from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Is coffee deadly or healthy?

Coffee has long been reputed to be both.  Rich in antioxidants and a natural stimulant for the nervous system, coffee has recently been in the news for its potential health benefits.  It also has a long-standing reputation for being unhealthy.  In reality, it seems that coffee is negative when taken in excess, as in five or more cups a day.  It does dehydrate the body, which can cause a number of health problems if not balanced with extra hydration.  It also can cause negative side effects such as nervousness, anxiety, and temporarily raised blood pressure.  It does not cause cancer however.  In fact, the antioxidants in coffee could be a beneficial factor in reducing the risk of cancer.
