    What are the top office coffee products by city

    Coffee is the lifeblood of any workplace. When your eyes start to glaze over after hours of looking at spreadsheets, there's nothing like coffee to jolt you back into reality and kick your mind into high gear. Without it, you probably end your day looking a little bit like this…

    Long gone are the days when just any old boring brew will do. In fact, 87% of Americans consider themselves full-on coffee-obsessed, with flavored lattes being the most ordered drink at coffee shops. Employees see coffee as an essential to get through the workday. A recent report found that 77% of employees say they need coffee to be productive, while 60% say coffee improves their mood. 

    Leading workplaces want to build an elevated, personalized and cohesive office coffee experience across locations to make their workplaces more attractive to current and future talent. "Workplaces want cohesive experiences across their offices while providing local customization," says Crafty's Director of Implementation Emma Waterman. For example, each office may have cold brew kegs, but the brew is tailored to that location." 

    We look to the Crafty Platform for insights to unlock the best brews in each city. Our proprietary technology platform streamlines product and inventory management for 300+ offices across the country, and we can tap into that data to gather those market trends to elevate your office coffee station.

    Dive into the latest office coffee trends and explore each city's top coffee products.

    Office Drink Trends

    Gen Z, Millennial, and Gen X employees say that a coffee shop vibe is their top pick when asked about their ideal office environment. From a financial perspective, employees can spend anywhere from $38-149/month on their daily coffee habit, making any corporate coffee setup appealing. From a cultural perspective, Nespresso reported that 92% of people enjoy coffee spaces to socialize in the office. 

    Coffee doesn't come cheap, and finding a food service partner to maximize every dollar to deliver the type of experience employees expect is crucial. Looking at trends across Crafty clients, we found that many are allocating a large chunk of their budget toward their office coffee service. 

    • In 2023, Crafty saw a 64% growth in-office coffee spending compared to 2022.
    • The average office allocates 20% of their office pantry spend to coffee.
    • The cold brew keg and single-serve category grew by 24% compared to last year. Many medium-to-small offices prefer single-serve options because they can offer elevated coffee drinks without investing in higher-end equipment. 
    • Crafty also found that high-consumption offices prefer bean-to-cup coffee machines and cold brew kegs to align with sustainability goals. When applying for jobs, 68% of employees say they value office sustainability programs, and these equipment swaps help showcase those values. 

    Quality matters, and catering to employee preferences is paramount. So, what are the perfect brews for each city? Let's take a look.
