Coffee service

In particular, it sometimes refers to the set of dishes and vessels utilized to serve and consume coffee, akin to the notion of a tea service.

Typically these machines give the user the choice of various types of coffee, tea and hot chocolate even fresh food and confectionery.

Money collected is usually kept by the employer to offset the cost of the maintenance contract and for the purchase of the instant coffee used by the machine.

These machines do not charge per cup, but often provide a bypass slot where the employee can add their own coffee beans.

Since local roasters will generally not have a filter enveloping machine, these packs are shipped great distances and may be weeks old before they even arrive at the office.
