We are excited to share that we have extended our Amokka specialty coffee bean range to include a selection of 10 single origin coffees and hand-picked blends.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is constantly changing, but is vital in today’s socially- and environmentally-conscious workplace. In simple terms, CSR incorporates sustainable development and sustainable practices into a firm’s business model. In the modern workplace, it’s no longer a question of whether CSR policies should be implemented, but how they should be implemented. CSR policies filter through every aspect of modern office life, from the labour practices the company implements across the globe to the coffee employees are drinking in the workplace. With coffee consumption on the increase both in the workplace and at home, and the fact that it’s the second most tradable product in the world, it is becoming increasingly important to consider the sustainability of the coffee you consume.

As the world of workplace design continues to change and adapt to modern ways of working, a broad new trend has been growing in prominence: ‘resimercial’ design. But what is it? Where did it come from? And more importantly, what are the benefits to a business? Read on to find out more…

Over the last 3 years, the value of office coffee consumption in Europe has increased on average by more than 6% per year, and is now estimated to be worth around £2.7BN.

According to new research by CoffeeBI, it is estimated that, in the UK specifically, just under half (44%) of coffee consumed out of home is consumed in the workplace, and this is estimated to be worth around £232m to the UK economy. The figures are staggering, and the importance of office coffee cannot be ignored.

The approach to workplace design has changed drastically in recent years. Where there was once an emphasis on separate cubicles and rigid, formal workplaces, we now embrace a more creative and individual approach, marrying the design with the organisation, its culture and its employees. Years of research have proven that the design of a workplace has an impact on the wellbeing of your employees which, in turn, can affect their productivity and efficiency at work. Today’s architects, designers and fit-out specialists no longer follow a one-size-fits-all formula when designing a new space, instead they are focussing on creating tailored spaces to inspire employees and enhance their performance.

When we last checked in with our team of TopBaristas, they had been busy with events, photography days, and welcoming new clients to the TopBrewer family, and the last month has been no different! As always, the last month has been another busy one! Read on to find out what they’ve been up to…

The ‘third space’ isn’t a new concept, but is one that has been pushed into the spotlight in recent years. The home is the ‘first space’, our workplace is the ‘second space’ and the ‘third space’ refers to an additional (or third) space where people can perform work-related tasks. The third space is often seen as an in-between space, with the comfort and informal atmosphere of the home (the first space), but also with the necessities for working. But why have they been increasing in popularity? And how can you get the most out of a third space in your workplace?
