We all love coffee! Whether it's Americano, filter coffee, espresso or cortado. In addition to the invigorating effect, the taste and the method of preparation are also important.
Coffee at work is also extremely popular. For most Germans, a tasty coffee with colleagues, a quick chat and a small snack is part of everyday life. In any case, the coffee break is a welcome change from the working day. Coffee at work helps you slow down. People want to use their coffee break to recharge their batteries for the rest of the day's tasks . The invigorating substance caffeine ensures that this happens! No wonder why coffee at work is the most popular drink in German offices. But what preparation is used in most offices and what is the most popular coffee at work ? You will find all the answers to these questions in this blog post! Elias Fischbacher from the Wildkaffee Rösterei wishes you lots of fun discovering.
Coffee at work – which machine?
Coffee at work is generally not prepared using manual brewing methods . People are lazy and prefer to enjoy their coffee at the touch of a button , for example with a fully automatic machine or a filter machine. There are a few things that can be optimized to ensure that the coffee at work produces the most delicious cup profile possible. Above all, the care and settings of the machine , as well as, of course, the correct choice of high-quality beans, play a major role in terms of the taste properties!
Electronic coffee makers in particular often suffer from a lack of care . The result is mold, bacteria and germs in the coffee and water channels of the machine . At this point, the coffee from the fully automatic machine no longer tastes good. If you really want to enjoy your coffee at work, then make sure that the fully automatic machine is cleaned and maintained regularly! Because only then can you expect a particularly tasty end result.
It's more or less the same with the filter machine! With this preparation method, too, various bacteria, germs and molds can build up if not cared for properly. Cleaning is much easier than with a fully automatic machine, but this very fact, especially when making coffee at work, means that the machine is not cleaned very often . The same applies to the taste of your coffee at work: care is half the battle, otherwise your coffee simply won't taste good.
The right coffee at work
It is very important for your coffee at work to choose the right coffee beans for your method of preparation. This can be a difficult task, as every colleague has different preferences and interests when it comes to their coffee at work. While one person looks strictly for an organic label , another will just randomly pick something from the supermarket shelf or perhaps look for the cheapest price . In some other blog articles we have already explained to you that cheap supermarket beans are often overshadowed by child labor, exploitation and poor quality. Do you really want to "enjoy" your coffee with colleagues with such an ulterior motive? We hope not.
Let’s get back to the preparation method for your coffee break
Let's start with an old, dusty classic - the filter machine. The filter machine is very popular for making coffee at work. This is probably simply because a whole pot of coffee can be prepared in just a few steps. This way you can share your coffee with colleagues and spend a coffee break together. Of course we have the ideal coffee for the filter machine - discover our delicious Wilde Milde . The finest coffee beans from Brazil, Guatemala & Rwanda ensure an incredibly delicious cup profile!

In general, however, all of our medium & light roasts are suitable for preparing your coffee at work with the filter machine.
A cup of coffee at the touch of a button – short description, but very informative – it’s the fully automatic machine ! At the touch of a button, you can not only prepare the classics such as café crème, espresso or ristretto. Milky coffee drinks such as cappuccino & co can also be prepared excellently with the fully automatic machine. This makes coffee at work a little more varied.

Coffee at work - optimal time for optimal energy boost
Have you always wanted to know when the best time for your coffee break is? Don't worry - we'll explain and show you the ideal time for your coffee with colleagues. Of course, this also varies depending on your job . In the office, the ideal time for a coffee break is around 2 hours after starting work.
As a rule, people who work in front of the computer are most productive in the morning . The earlier you can take a short coffee break, the faster your batteries can be recharged. A second short coffee break in the afternoon also provides an additional energy boost and boost for the rest of the working day. Ideally, you should enjoy this coffee at work before 3 p.m. so that you can still fall asleep restfully in the evening.
Coffee at work - exciting alternative preparation methods
Let's focus again on the preparation methods. It's definitely not just filter machines and fully automatic machines that are suitable for coffee with colleagues! In terms of convenience, these brewing methods are unbeatable. However, hand filter methods are also ideal for coffee with colleagues. You can also prepare several cups of filter coffee by hand, which, if you use high-quality beans, will produce a unique taste experience. In principle, all you need is a dripper , a Kinto serving jug , a brewing jug and ground coffee or hand grinder and beans.
If you like it compact, intuitive and stylish , then the Chemex is also an excellent brewing method. It is a dripper and brewing vessel in one and, thanks to the thicker filter paper, ensures a clear, nuanced cup profile. With the Chemex you can brew up to 6 cups of coffee at once. This means you can enjoy your coffee at work together with your colleagues.
Coffee at work - Pay attention to quality during your coffee break
To ensure that your coffee tastes really good and that you can enjoy it without any worries , you should definitely pay attention to the quality of your beans. You can tell that coffee is excellent just by looking at the packaging . A good first sign is if the packaging has an aroma valve . The label "drum roasting" or "long-term roasting" is also a good sign that the green coffee was processed carefully in the roastery.
By looking at the best before date you can also determine whether your coffee has been freshly roasted. The best before date is usually 12-24 months after the roasting date . If the coffee is stored for a long time, it will no longer taste as intense and tasty.
