Coffee Service and the Minneapolis and St. Paul Micro-Market

Coffee Service in Minneapolis and St. Paul

Office coffee service (OCS) is often considered a separate service when it comes to the break room. But it doesn’t have to be. For a moment, ponder what it would be like to mesh coffee service with a micro-market. On their own, each offers distinct benefits. But when they are blended together in your Minneapolis and St. Paul office break room, they create a unique employee perk.

Employees now have a relaxed on-site spot to grab a gourmet coffee and a snack or meal. This is now even more important. Research has also found the best time to enjoy a cup of coffee is mid-morning or early afternoon, not right after waking up.

To effectively blend coffee service and micro-markets, there are two things to consider. The first is the different aspects of coffee service. And the second is how each aspect helps integrate coffee with the micro-market.

Coffee Brewers

    • choose a brewer that makes gourmet beverages; bean-to-cup and single-cup brewers are the current favorites
    • with the concerns around COVID-19, consider a touchless brewer
    • discover which brands are most sought after in your area—yes, brands matter even with brewers

Coffee Beans

    • offer a range of local and national brands
    • discover which coffee brands are well known and liked by your Minneapolis and St. Paul employees
    • make sure that the perception of the coffee brands matches the perception of the micro-market—both should be high-end

Other Coffee Service Factors

    • place the coffee service near food and snacks that go well with coffee. Minneapolis and St. Paul employees are more likely to purchase a breakfast item or an afternoon treat if it’s nearby.
    • create a supply station with a variety of creamers, flavorings, and sweeteners.
    • employees are consumers. Brand recognition of brewers and coffee brands plays a role in purchase decisions.
