Short answer: plan on two to three drinks per person per working day, which is roughly 0.5kg to 0.9kg of beans per person per year on singles, or 1kg to 1.6kg on doubles. A 50 person office typically uses 40kg to 70kg a year.
Short answer: plan on two to three drinks per person per working day. On single shots that is roughly 0.5kg to 0.9kg of beans per person per year; on doubles, roughly 1kg to 1.6kg. A 50 person office therefore lands somewhere around 40kg to 70kg a year, depending on the drinks mix.
Adjust for the pattern of your workplace. Hybrid offices with three days on site use far less than the headcount suggests, and client facing sites use more because visitors add drinks that do not show up in headcount.
Once you have an annual figure, divide it into fortnightly deliveries rather than quarterly bulk drops. Coffee is a perishable ingredient, and a large delivery that sits for two months is money spent on flavour you will not taste.
Track actual usage for the first two months and correct the estimate. Real numbers beat planning assumptions, and your supplier should be adjusting the schedule with you rather than holding you to a minimum volume.
Roughly 110 to 140 single shots, or 55 to 62 doubles, depending on your dose.
Only to the point where the coffee stays fresh. Bulk pricing is no saving if the last third of the pallet tastes flat.
Scheduled deliveries should be adjustable. Ours are, and there is no minimum volume commitment locking you into a figure that no longer fits.
Yes. Trade accounts can be set up with a scheduled delivery cycle and reminders, so nobody has to remember to reorder.
