Caffeine Meltdown: Coffee Machines For Offices

Greetings from Noel Collins. I'm the HR manager for a large office. I face quite a number of trials and tribulations every day in my dealings with people. However, my biggest problem this year occurred when the coffee machine broke down. Now, I love coffee, and I'm not quite human in the mornings till I have a cup, but there were people in my office virtually having meltdowns! As a result, our office trialled quite a number of machines and various blends supplied by companies that wanted our business. We did come to an agreement in the end and everybody is back to normal. I started this blog because I really was not aware of the different office vending machine options. I figure that I might be able to save someone else the angst of trial and error. Please read and enjoy. Thank you.
