The new Flavia Lavazza C600 Coffee Machine

‘Game-Changer’ is the term that has been used to describe the arrival of Flavia Creation 600 from Lavazza. The launch of the C600 co-insides with a new arrival of a brand-new range of drinks in the Flavia range, meaning a new authentic Italian coffee experience can now be offered in the office, boardroom or showroom. The arrival of the new FLAVIA® Creation 600, has been spoken of as ‘the single biggest step change Flavia has ever accomplished’. Completely re-imagining the performance and style of it’s predecessor, the Flavia C500.

Flavia C600 vs C500

Apart from it’s obvious good looks, we have detailed a few of the features that set the C600 apart from the C500:

Customisable Brew Strength
Multimedia Touchscreen
Diary & Non-Dairy Milk Frothing Options
Cold Brew Technology – Iced Coffee & Tea (With the addition of the Flavia Chill Module)
Water Tank Capacity Double (If not plumbed into mains)
An online portal to manager brewers & monitor beverage consumption trends

Beautifully simple in form and function, it will look the part in any office or professional environment. It also plays it part in making coffee as quick and simple as possible, whilst delivering coffee-shop style drinks.

With a new focus on more ways to customise drinks, it has become one of the most versatile coffee machines on the market. Thanks to the machine’s ability to use diary free milk alternatives, such as oat or soya, alongside regular milk. Making your favourite drink is easy with the Flavia C600. Having chosen your desired milk, your cup is raised to the delivery nozzle, where the milk is heated and frothed to the perfect consistency. Then, add your choice of Lavazza coffee. That’s it; job done and when you take your drink away, the machine is left clean, ready for the next user.

The C600 is most technologically advanced FLAVIA yet. The biggest evolution from the C500 is the customisable milk frothing abilities, and an intuitive touchscreen interface. Plus an automatic cup-stand. Making the entire look and feel so much slicker, all in addition to the industry-leading reliability and consistency the Freshpack technology. The Freshpack technology from Flavia is perfect for busy office and public facing spaces. Due to the C600’s speed, reliability and requires less cleaning and maintenance.

It is also the most hygienic machine on the market, leaving no residue from one drink to the next, which also avoids any cross-contamination of dairy to non-dairy milk options. The patented technology is completely unique that no other system can match the combined abilities of great taste, ease of use and delivering a solution of the every day coffee mess and maintenance.

Back to school – The staff room coffee machine

At Wellbeing Group, we are fully aware of how hard teachers have had it over the last few years, having to somehow adapt to online classrooms through the COVID pandemic and the return to the classroom has been an even harder challenge trying to transition children back into a normal structure of education, some of whom would not have experienced a classroom during what should have been they’re formative years of education.

With increased demands and even more guidelines to now consider, the job of school staff and is becoming more and more complex, leaving teachers finding it hard to find the time to take a much-deserved break in their hectic days. So, when they do, shouldn’t they get the refreshment quality they deserve.

Hot drinks are the lifeblood of any school’s teacher staffroom, coffee is the fuel and the nectar that keeps teachers functioning until the home time bell. With a nice cuppa, often the only little moment in a teacher’s day where it may allow for a little nugget of reflection or moment of indulgence, a spoon full of instant coffee and a kettle doesn’t seem to cut it anymore, nor does it fairly represent the value and gratitude that schools should be attributing to their staff.

Coffee Machine for schools, colleges & universities

Compact bean-to-cup table-top or floor-standing vending machines, with fresh milk options, are an ideal low maintenance (easy to clean), energy and money saving solutions, whilst delivering coffee shop quality beverages to the school staff room or canteen. Coffee machines are also much more practical and efficient for teachers, as there is no waiting around for a kettle to boil at the touch of a button, you can have anything from a latte to a cappuccino or mocha in seconds – more time to actually enjoy the drink!

So much more emphasis is now place on adhering to good hygiene practices in schools, since the pandemic and many staff, pupils and parents may still be concerned about using the same equipment or appliances due to infection risks. Our range of touchless machines means that staff don’t even have to touch the appliance to get there freshly brewed beverage.

A coffee machine for school and teaching staff, is much more about providing better quality beverages, it’s a gesture, staff will feel more valued. Teachers spend their lives striving to improve the lives and wellbeing for children, but what about the wellbeing of our teachers? Do we think about their mental wellbeing enough? We appreciate it’s no cure, but this small work perk will go a long way in the eyes of your staff, something for them to look forward to in the 10 minutes during their day that they might get if they’re lucky. Teachers give so much of themselves, this is an affordable, sustainable and practical way to give back.

Workplace Wellbeing – The Office Coffee Culture

There’s no getting away from the café culture that has become firmly integrated into the modern workplace, the role of coffee has undoubtedly become the social glue in the office environment. With many of us spending our working week split between the office and home, the moments of pleasure in our day and the social interactions they can provide, seem even more important. It’s more than just a caffeine hit – it gives us an excuse to gather and can even help give structure to the day. Considering this, we wanted to understand the wider impacts and trends around office coffee culture now and in the future.

Form Over Function

Coffee was always seen as serving a purpose and a functional beverage to give us a perk and get us through the day, it was more of a habit, or a mechanical instinct. Now, people are tailoring and refining their tastes becoming more educated on taste profiles and serving styles. Coffee is now a lifestyle product, it is now a drink that is desired rather than simply consumed and new standards bring new expectations.

Social Nectar

The impact can be seen in new office builds, as companies are keen to create café style social break-out and refreshment spaces. To impress employees and visitors with higher quality refreshment facilities, where traditionally, more formal and sterile reception or canteen areas might have been. Installing a sea of change around the office space and alter the landscape of workplace culture in the future.

Employee Value Proposition

Bringing people back to the office who are comfortable at home could be a challenge. There’s also an increasing range of potential competition, with flexible co-working spaces becoming increasingly popular, offering a space that combines the work and hospitality increasingly. Workplaces will need to recognise that their employees and other stakeholders will want to work or hold meetings away from the office in the facilities are no longer fit for purpose culturally and from a quality perspective to provide a level of quality that meets new expectations.

Wellbeing & Community

A study found that 80% of employees had higher morale and were more motivated to do their best work when provided with simple perks like fresh, free gourmet coffee and tea, and felt that the provision of high quality coffee at work was an indication that their wellbeing mattered to their employer – Many forward thinking companies want to be seen to be offering ‘work perks’ and employee wellbeing for many companies now form a big part of their company ethos and is often promoted outwardly as much as projects and case studies. The dynamic between employers and employees has become much more of a two-way relationship and companies must be able to articulate what they can offer to employees, rather than it all being about what the individual is bringing to a company.

Sustainability

Buying behaviour has began to massively shift to a more considered pattern among consumers, especially around produce and food. Coffee drinkers are especially keen to learn about the origins and which coffee can have the biggest positive impact on Fairtrade communities in coffee growing regions locally – As forward thinking companies want to become more aligned with sustainable values, they are much more likely to purchase coffee for the office that meets the image they practice in their customer facing proposition.

The Decaf Trend

Here at Wellbeing Group we are looking to dispel the myth that decaf coffee equals poorer flavour. With a trends towards health and wellbeing becoming more and more elevated, there should be a quality decaf option for those looking to consume coffee for the great taste without the caffeine boost. Our Fairtrade Organic Decaf 100% Arabica, from the Andean Mountain of Peru has been sourced to provide exactly this.

Brand Representation

A company’s coffee offering has the potential to help shape its external image as well as making employees feel valued. Being able to offer high-quality hospitality to all stakeholders and visitors has the ability to install and leave favourable lasting impressions and forms a positive narrative about how a company looks after it’s people.

Looking To The Future

The pandemic and lockdown has fast-tracked the inevitability and acceptance of flexible and remote working. Coffee can play a major role in encouraging people to spend more time together again in the office and central to the culture a workplace can cultivate, the moments of pleasure in our daily routines seem even more important, It’s more than just a caffeine hit, but the vehicle through which to gather and collaborate. Co-working spaces are mastering this and it feels like if the office is going to continue to appeal as we move into the remote working world it needs to evolve and embrace the culture that coffee can spearhead.

Our range of Bean To Cup Coffee Machines, are a great addition to any workplace or office environment. A great way to introduce a better quality of hot beverage facilities and install a better culture and wellbeing among your employees.

Coffee Machine for Co-working Spaces

A guide to choosing the right coffee machine for your co-working space.

This guide will help you decide the right coffee machine for coworking spaces. With more people working remotely or seeking more flexible work spaces, coworking spaces are being increasingly popular. You may be an independent start up and having worked around the clock and invested your hard earned cash into renovating a space, you want to see the biggest return on investment. ROI from a coworking space is only going to come from your clients using the space to its maximum potential.

Coworking doesn’t work for everyone, however, by creating a space with lots of different working environments it can help attract a larger client base. Some people love to work in a vibrant, bustling workspace, whilst others prefer a quiet corner at times to put their head down to the work. A lot of people are happy working in a coffee shop so providing good coffee in your co-working space will help draw these people to your space, you really need to take the coffee culture in your coworking space to the next level. Holding free trial days in your space can help build momentum when you’re looking to attract more clients, and having a coffee machine offering top quality coffee will go a long way. Remember that a lot of these people will have been used to buying 2 or 3 cups of coffee per day from coffee shops and if you offer this free in your space, this will be a big magnet as they could actually see themselves saving a few pennies each day by working from your space.

Co-working doesn’t work for everyone, however, by creating a space with lots of different working environments it can help attract a larger client base. Some people love to work in a vibrant, bustling workspace, whilst others prefer a quiet corner at times to put their head down to the work. A lot of people are happy working in a coffee shop so providing good coffee in your co-working space will help draw these people to your space. You really need to take the coffee culture in your coworking space to the next level, holding free trial days in your space can help build momentum. When you’re looking to attract more clients, and having a coffee machine offering top quality coffee will go a long way. Remember that a lot of these people will have been used to buying 2 or 3 cups of coffee per day from coffee shops. If you offer this free in your space, this will be a big magnet as they could actually see themselves saving a few pennies each day by working from your space.

So how do you decide which is the best coffee machine for your co-working space?

Firstly, you need to consider who is your captive audience and how many drinks will be vended per day? These points mean a lot. If you are looking to create a ‘coffee shop style’ environment, you really want to look at a traditional espresso coffee machine to create the authentic feel about your space. The Merano Group coffee machine will create some of the best espresso’s you can imagine. However, the biggest draw back of having a traditional espresso machine is that you will need someone to operate the machine. We can provide you support and barista training but you will need to consider whether you want to be making the coffee manually rather than using an automatic bean to cup machine for your coworking space. The number of drinks required per day will also determine the capacity of machine you will require. There’s no point spending extra on a huge coffee machine if the maximum capacity in your coworking space is 20 and vice versa. So if you’ve got a 100 plus users you will need to look at a machine that is capable of making coffee all day long.

There are many options when it comes to a bean to cup machine and they are usually split into two types; granulated milk and fresh milk. We usually recommend the granulated milk type as they require less cleaning and there is no risk of milk going off in the machine as it’s a freeze dried product. Granulated milk has come a long way in recent years and our product is 100% skimmed milk, which isn’t sweetened like the traditional whitener and all the drinks are ‘skinny’! Fresh milk coffee machines do have the edge over granulated milk but they will need to be cleaned each night to flush out the milk pipes and help prevent them blocking up. Unless you have a dedicated front of house person or cleaner, the cleaning can be an issue which is why it may be better for you to consider the granulated option.

Minimising touch points is a hot topic right now and therefore we have created a touchless coffee machine! Our Aviano coffee machine has the ability where you can select your drink from 2cms away from the screen without actually touching it. It’s very clever but simple technology and we highly recommend this coffee machine for your coworking space. It looks great and offers a wide range of drinks, covering most of the range that a coffee shop offers. The Aviano has high capacity and the Maxi version will cater for 100 users having the largest ingredient canisters available on the market.

Don’t forget the tea drinkers!

The Aviano Dual actually has a real leaf tea brewer so is an all-in-one coffee machine that also offers tea and chocolate. If you would prefer people to make their own tea, would recommend the Billi boiling and chilled water tap for your coworking space as it will dispense boiling water on demand so people spend less time at the tea point. Whilst usually you may want to encourage people to natter whilst making their brew. With the Covid restrictions, a lot of kitchens are limiting the amount of users at any one time so the quicker they are the better.

Top 5 benefits of offering good coffee machines for co-working spaces:

Attract people who are used to working in coffee shops.

A complete guide to help you choose a Coffee Machine for the Board Room

A good cup of coffee never goes amiss in the workplace; it goes without saying that employees will always appreciate a hot beverage to accompany them through the day. But for many companies, it is also just as important to be able to offer visiting clients and guests a hot drink.

The boardroom is a vital part of any company, where important decisions are made and plans are developed. It should be a hub of creativity and productivity where ideas flow and everyone is alert. If you are unprepared when it comes to refreshments in important meetings it can be a reflection of your company as a whole. For this reason, we’ve decided to put together this short guide to choosing the best coffee machine for your boardroom.

In this article we’ll look at what factors you should consider when finding a suitable coffee machine for your boardroom and we’ll advise you on some of the best models to consider. All businesses are unique and that’s why here at Wellbeing Group we are always happy to talk to businesses about their specific needs and requirements. Whether you’re looking to “wow” with the perfect cappuccino or invigorate with a lively espresso, we’ll be able to advise.

Who should be interested in the boardroom’s coffee machine?

Any company that wants to impress should consider a boardroom coffee machine. If you’re a manager, assistant or even an employee who sees the need for a hot drinks machine in your boardroom, then this concerns you. A quality coffee machine for your business should be thought of as a clever investment.

Why is the right coffee machine important in the boardroom?

A high quality coffee machine is an easy and effective way to impress clients. Offering a visitor a coffee-house style beverage will go much further than a mug of instant coffee. Beginning a conference by supplying refreshments sets the tone and builds a comfortable atmosphere.

Being unprepared when it comes to hot drinks in boardroom meetings can influence a client or visitor’s perception of the company. No coffee, or even bad coffee, can say a lot. It can be perceived as careless or cheap and won’t help to encourage any potential business partners to work with you.

Seeing as so much can be achieved with one simple drink, it is safe to say that it is pretty important to find the right machine for your company.

When should you consider the coffee machine for the boardroom?

There’s never a bad time to invest in a hot drinks station. You may have gotten by up until now with a kettle and a jar of instant coffee, but it will only take you so far. As your clientele grows and your business goals become larger, the refreshments should follow with it. For expanding businesses and high aspiring companies, it cannot be stressed how much of a worthwhile investment a coffee machine purchase is.

What factors should be taken into account?

When you begin your research, there are a few things to consider so you choose the best machine for your environment.

The price and method of payment is, of course, a driving factor. If you have a rough budget, this will help narrow down your search. Make sure your budget is realistic enough to get the right capacity machine for your needs though (but likewise, don’t unnecessarily overspend). It is helpful to look at the average price per cup against the number of coffees that will be consumed on a daily or weekly basis. Whilst it may be tempting to keep costs to a minimum it’s worth considering the growth of your company and the likelihood of having bigger clients visiting your boardroom.
Do you want to pay for the machine in one bulk payment or do you prefer to spread the cost in monthly instalments? Here at Wellbeing Group, we provide renting and leasing options to avoid one bulk payment. Although renting a machine means the equipment may not be officially ‘owned’ by you, rentals do have interesting benefits. Our rental agreements have the added benefit of providing free machine aftercare and maintenance. You are also able to upgrade your machine with more ease should the machine not meet your expectations We are always happy to discuss the best option with you.

Coffee machines also require maintenance, accessories and cleaning products. Some of these extras are included in the cost, and some are charged extra, so it is advised to factor these in when deciding on your budget to avoid any surprise costs.

A word to the wise; watch out for companies that simply sell you a machine then leave you in the lurch! Some businesses may pounce at a ‘quick sale’ and then leave you hanging in terms of aftercare and support. Many online firms just contract out installations and servicing to third party engineers, resulting in control and personal service being lost. We give free comprehensive training and offer aftercare for our machines to ensure you get the most out of them.

Being an experienced, family owned and run business, we can offer you genuine advice e and have gained a strong reputation for a fast and friendly service. We have built up long-lasting relationships with our customers who trust us for our strong experience and high quality service.

What do you and your colleagues require from the machine? Coffee machines can offer a variety of drinks. Your colleagues may be after some hot chocolate or a cuppa, while you crave that strong black coffee! Britain is known for its love of tea, so a machine that offers a variety of hot beverages is definitely advantageous. Whilst it’s easy to assume visiting clients will want coffee, it’s never guaranteed. Perhaps your biggest lead may want coffee syrups or hot chocolate. Why not wow them and edge above your competitors by being able to provide it? In doing so you’ve got a foot in the door and are on your way to making a sale.

Wastage and energy consumption shouldn’t be overlooked. Certain systems will be more efficient than others. For example, the coffee pods used in some machines can’t be recycled. Some systems may have energy efficient modes when they are inactive. It very much depends on how much use the drinks station will get and the type of visitors that are likely to be in the boardroom. As ethical and environmental companies continue to gain popularity, ignoring this market or – worse still – presenting them with a cheap non-recyclable cup or non-degradable straw could be a simple mistake to make.

The boardroom coffee machine needs to be quick and efficient as possible. No premium time should be wasted on making coffees. No client wants to be left waiting for an extended period just to get a drink. You should also enquire about the noise levels that come from a particular machine, so as to minimise distraction.

Where should the machine be located?

If you have found a machine that performs quickly and quietly, then your machine should be placed in the boardroom, in full view. An attractive coffee machine can be somewhat of a showpiece. Build up the overall appearance of your boardroom by creating a comprehensive style.

Installation

Once purchased, it’s very important that the machine is properly installed. We recommend getting a fully insured professional to install your machine. Here at Wellbeing Group, we offer free installation with every coffee machine purchase. Our in-house engineers can install whenever best suits your company – we have even done same day and overnight installs in some cases!
