A good filter coffee station is one of the simplest perks an office pantry can offer — and it doesn't need to be complicated. Here's what to consider when setting one up.
Equipment Checklist
- A larger-capacity filter (or multiple standard filters) sized to your team's headcount
- An insulated flask to hold brewed decoction and keep it hot through the day
- A milk warmer or small induction setup for heating milk in batches
- Airtight storage containers for coffee powder to keep it fresh between refills
- A simple label or measuring scoop so everyone uses a consistent coffee-to-water ratio
Workflow for a Small Team
Rather than brewing single cups throughout the day, most offices are better served by brewing a larger batch of decoction once or twice — typically once in the morning and again after lunch — and storing it in an insulated flask. This keeps the coffee consistent and cuts down on the time spent brewing.
Choosing a coffee blend with a chicory ratio your team is used to (commonly 80:20) also helps keep the taste consistent, since chicory blends are more forgiving of small variations in brewing time.
