Before you introduce an office coffee machine make sure
it fits.
“Some questions you will need to ask”

You’ve visited the coffee machine company’s website, you’ve got the brochure and you’ve decided which coffee machine you want. Soon the sales rep visits and helps you decide which machine will do the job. You decide you want a plumbed in coffee machine, everyone’s too busy to be filling the machine up every five minutes you need it to have a constant supply of fresh water.

You sign the contract and within a week a man with a van turns up to fit it.
You show him where you want it set up when you sense there maybe a problem. The man with a van nods his head in disappointment.

“Problem I’m afraid. The water supply is more than one meter away you will have to get a plumber in to sort that out.”

Yes this is what can happen if a site survey has not been conducted by the company supplying you with the coffee machine. Site survey is industry speak for making sure the power supply, water supply and the surface it sits on all meet specific criteria. If any of these specifications fall short the coffee machine will either get returned to sender or sit dormant.

For example if you go for a vision 400 office coffee machine it has to be situated 1 metre away from a drinking water supply and 1 metre away from a power supply.

So if you decide to get an office coffee machine congratulations it will be a lot cheaper than going off site to the nearest café but make sure the site survey is conducted and in the words of Elvis Presley’s 1962 hit its not returned to sender.
