Just Small Change – A refreshing update from Kisumu, Kenya.

We're delighted to hear about further progress of Just Small Change.

As you know, Just Small Change is a microfinance charity that supports some of the poorest parts of the world. Peter and Jane Donaghue founded the organisation in 2011 and we are proud to call the couple as firm friends of ours. We are equally proud to support the charity, and we have donated to the organisation through lots of varied ways including a percentage of the money raised from the sales of our bottled water. We are always pleased to hear of success stories from the charity, and we’re delighted to now present another positive update from Kisumu in Kenya.

Now is the time to install a water cooler in your workplace!

The importance of a water cooler in your workplace!

It’s certainly been a harsh winter, but the arrival of April has welcomed better conditions. Sun, blue skies and milder temperatures provide a welcome relief from what has been a bitterly cold few months, and gives us a taste of the summer season that we’re all desperately craving. So your staff can enjoy the hotter months, make sure you’re prepared. A sweltering office is no good for anyone, and the depths of dehydration can quickly set in. Help them work to their maximum potential and install a water cooler today.

The capsules behind the great beverages from the Dualit.

The Dualit is a great little machine that leaves a grand impression - and this is partly down to the capsules.

Workplace refreshments can work for everyone, but there is no ‘one size fits all’ method. No business or workplace is exactly the same, and their requirements will therefore be different. Because Coinadrink are unique in that we aren’t tied down to any particular vending supplier, it means we are able to select the very best machines for our customers and then tailor our services to suit them. The Nespresso-compatible Dualit Café Plus joined our diverse range back before Christmas, and it was the capsules that were one of the things that really grabbed our attention. We immediately saw a real benefit for our customers.

We understand the importance of workplace refreshments and have done throughout our entire history, and our snack machines are a great option for a mid-morning treat or part of your lunch time meal.

The importance of mental wellbeing in the workplace.

The importance of wellbeing in the workplace.

It’s a worrying reality that many of us continue to only associate physical symptoms with our health. If we’re suffering with a bug, flu or even a headache, we know something isn’t quite right, but the topic of mental health isn’t quite as clear. While it’s fantastic to see that the stigma behind mental health is slowly lifting, some people still find it hard to talk about their feelings. As an employer or Facilities Manager, there are things that you can do to help the cause. It’s important to create a positive workforce where your staff feel happy and comfortable.

Think hydration doesn’t matter in the winter? Think again!

Are you staying hydrated this winter?

It’s been one of the worst winters in recent memory. Many mornings have begun with extremely cold starts, and we’ve often had to make the journey into work through snow, ice, wind and rain. It’s only natural, then, to crave a hot drink when we finally do get into the office. Very little else can motivate you in the same way a hot drink can, but as the colder weather looks set to continue for a little while longer, we’re asking you not to forget your water cooler either. Many people disregard the topic of hydration all too easily in the winter, and this is dangerous.

Isn’t it about time your business disregarded the kettle?

Isn't it time you updated the kettle to a more advanced solution?

One of the common reasons we hear as to why people don’t have a vending machine in their business is because they prefer to make their own drinks. We might be a little biased here, but that’s something that frustrates us. Having had over 55 years’ experience as a company, we have witnessed the advancement of the vending industry first hand and the benefits of vending are simply enormous. Isn’t it about time you disregarded your kettle for something that’s a little more up to date?

The vending machine with a heart for the homeless.

The vending machine that aims to eradicate homelessness.

Throughout our history, we have seen vending progress to admirable lengths. Never more so, however, than when the world’s first vending machine was created for homeless people. Installed in Nottingham last month, the machine dispenses key items such as water, fresh fruit, soap, toothpaste and books. Whilst the technology behind it isn’t anything revolutionary, it’s the generosity behind the idea that has sparked attention. The Guardian are just one of the institutions to report on the hot topic…

All the weird and wonderful vending machines to grace our planet – continued.

Here's some more of the weird and wonderful vending machines...

Back in October, we published some of the craziest vending machines that could be found somewhere around the world. Live lobster made the list, and there was also a beer vending machine if you preferred to serve yourself rather than queue at the bar (this one can be found in Hackney, UK, if you’re interested!) On the back of the recent news that the first vending machine for homeless people has just been released in Nottingham, we’re keen to share more weird and wonderful vending machines that we’ve recently found…
