Coffee machines for a law firm

Illustration for: Coffee machines for a law firm

A law firm runs on billable hours, and the walk to the café is not one of them. Clients come in for conferences and signings. Lawyers and support staff work long days at the desk.

One machine has to serve the meeting room and the late afternoon without anyone acting as barista.

Clients in the conference room

Offering a drink at the start of a conference is expected. A cup made at a button, while the file comes out, is easier than an assistant boiling a kettle down the hall.

Arico installs a Saeco Royal Plus. It is an automatic bean-to-cup machine: whole beans in a hopper, a grind for each cup, a button. Boardroom and meeting room machines covers where it sits when clients are the main audience.

Long days at the desk

The cups a firm drinks are spread across the day, and often past the hours a café keeps. A machine in the kitchen does not close. The hidden cost of the café run is that habit added up, without invented figures.

Check your own receipts and petty cash before you compare. We do not print a saving.

Practices of every size

A sole practitioner with a receptionist and a floor of forty lawyers take the same machine. The bean order is what changes. Small office coffee machines is the brief for a small practice. Coffee machines for a large office is the brief for a big one.

The same answer fits an accounting practice, a financial planner, or any professional services office where clients come in and sit down.

Who looks after it

Reception or the office manager empties the grounds, fills the hopper, and keeps water in the tank. It is a short daily job. Give it a name, or it belongs to whoever notices the warning first.

When it stops for a reason that is not beans or water, that is ours. Servicing and tech support are $0 while you order beans each month. Who services the machine covers what that includes.

What it costs the firm

You pay for the coffee, from as little as 40 cents a cup, delivered monthly. The machine is $0 while that order continues. There is no hardware line on the invoice and no lease to sign. Stop ordering and the arrangement stops.

Hire versus a free machine puts the two invoices side by side, for a partner who wants the paper. We install in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. The postcode on the call confirms the office.

Where the bench goes

Put the machine where a client can be offered a cup without walking past open files. In most firms, that decides the bench before anything else does.
