Coffee and Peers in the Workplace

In 2010, there was a survey regarding coffee consumption habits of certain adults. An astounding 88% of them claimed to drink at least a cup of coffee a day. This is one the many reasons why employers must strongly take into account having coffee in the office

Employees tend to be more productive when they feel valued, respected, and when their needs are recognized. When employers provide quality coffee, they send a message that they care about the employees.

For the lovers of coffee, if they can’t get their caffeine fix in the office, they are likely to swing by local restaurants or cafe to get their fix. Long queues in this places might cause tardiness or increased time away from work.

Research has it that workplace friendships increase employee retention. The almost proverbial “water cooler conversation” may come into mind, you could think that, but toss in come coffee. Coffee vending area is where they exchange banter.

This certain survey also showed that only 8% of coffee drinkers will drink coffee alone in public. We all love to share coffee and relating to our peers. Combine them and you’re bound to see workplace smiles.

But of course, you can’t overlook the quality and flavor of the coffee used. Majority of coffee drinkers will only drink a good-tasting quality coffee, not the ones that can be considered as coffee-colored water. Coffee drinkers go for smooth and complex, not bitter or bland.

Combine them all together, a good coffee in an environment conducive for workplace friendships provides employers with a motivated workforce. The perks plus the peers will yield a happy and productive team.

Arabica Coffee Beans – The Best Coffee Beans

There are two types of coffee beans available, Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans are dubbed as the high quality one. Robusta is known as a cheap filler type of coffee beans. That being said, if it’s the flavor you’re yearning for, the there’s no reason why you should not go for Arabica beans.

Actually, Robusta beans have a more bitter taste to them and have more caffeine than Arabica However, Arabica offers more flavor, so they are being patronized by coffee shops. If you’re the thrifty type and don’t want to splurge on luxurious coffee shops on a daily basis, feel free to buy these beans and brew them at home in your home coffee maker.

To make you feel even better when you’re drinking this beloved type of coffee, know that organic Arabica coffee beans are actually cultivated on sustainable farms, hence the mild and non-acidic taste. Going for the organic variety almost always means going for the pricier variant, but you have to consider that you are adding up to the quality of the coffee industry as a whole.

If you check various specialty coffee retailers, you’ll know that a lot of them only sell Arabica because of their high quality. Nonetheless, if you swing by a grocery store or any other location for commercial coffee beans, then you are bound to find the Robusta variety, or a mixture of the two. I’ll say it again, the reason for this is because Robusta is way cheaper and is usually made use of as filler for coffee “blends”.

You can go online and find reputable sellers of Arabica beans. Yep, you read right. That is because Internet has paved way to better access to almost any kind of goods. Just do some research and you are on the road to finding your perfect Arabica beans to complete your day everyday!
