As both our personal and working lives continue to change, the vending and water dispenser industries are well equipped to adapt with innovative new solutions. We have already seen contactless water dispensers with AA First and now Borg and Overstrom have delivered an equally impressive contactless system themselves. Their new hands-free foot switch is an impressively simple way to control the flow of water without needing to interact directly with the dispenser.
The kettle remains a solid choice for the home, but it’s in urgent need of replacing in the workplace. Not only is it slow and unable to deliver a hot drink of any meaningful quality, but the whole process of making a hot drink using the kettle is actually unhygienic for your workforce. Or at least, it is when compared to a vending machine.
And during a time when hygiene matters more than it ever has before, you should seriously be looking into upgrading your workplace refreshment facilities once and for all.
The popularity of the UK coffee shop is unquestioned. According to one study, 5.3 million people visit a coffee shop once a week, which more than contributes to its £10.1bn worth as of last year. However, coffee culture has now extended to the workplace, too.
It makes sense, really. Nearly 100 million cups of coffee are consumed every single day in Great Britain. And as we spend more and more time at work, employees are demanding higher quality coffee. Often courtesy of a high quality coffee machine. This blog post has all the details, courtesy of a Nespresso report.
