Office coffee on the agenda: good ingredients, reliable machines and dependable service. It's easy to take office coffee to new heights - as long as you make a few well-considered choices along the way. Here, Solberg & Hansen's expert in the field, Christian Rieder, shares some good advice for anyone who wants to offer their colleagues work coffee with coffee bar quality.
What should I consider before choosing an office coffee solution?
- Firstly, the machines must be flexible and easy to adjust to get the best out of the raw coffee. "When choosing high-quality whole coffee beans, this is very important, because the degree of grinding and dosage has so much to do with the taste living up to the quality of the raw material," he says.
- Secondly, it's important that the machinery delivers quality over time, with the least possible handling when it comes to service and cleaning. This saves you time and money and should include good and transparent warranty and service agreements with no hidden costs," explains Christian, who has worked with sales, coffee and office solutions for companies for almost 30 years.

Which coffee machines are right for my business?
Fresh brewers, coffee makers, filter brewers, espresso or instant machines. The range on the market is enormous and the variations in quality and capacity are huge.
Christian has good advice on choosing a coffee machine:
- The most important thing is to compose a stable machine park that is adapted to the number of employees in the company. In fresh brewing, for example, there are machines that can brew the entire coffee bar menu from espresso to latte using freshly ground beans and fresh milk, with a capacity of several hundred cups per hour.
- For businesses that prefer classic filter coffee, it's important that the hopper or filter machine brews coffee at a consistently high temperature to extract the full flavor spectrum of the raw coffee.
- Many office environments might appreciate a machine park that combines good fresh brewers and filter machines. This will satisfy both the "black filter coffee" enthusiasts and those who prefer cappuccinos and other coffee drinks made with fresh milk, like in a coffee shop.
"Office coffee is the most important ingredient in a good working environment. It's the natural gathering point and social oil of any business."

- We offer several fresh brewers that grind and brew a wide range of coffee drinks at the touch of a button. These machines brew with freshly ground beans and fresh milk, to superb taste and very high quality. It's not without reason that these have become popular in the office landscape.
- Pure espresso machines are often for environments with a special interest in coffee, as they require more handling, but we can help with this.
Remember, we can help you choose a coffee machine or adapt your company's existing brewing equipment to our raw materials, and advise you on which coffee types to choose based on your needs and palates.
Why is office coffee important for my business?
- Coffee is the most important ingredient in a good working environment. It is the natural gathering point and social oil of any business. Serving a good cup of coffee shows employees and customers that the company appreciates them. Good office coffee is simply a very reasonable investment compared to what you get back," says Christian.
He assists customers in setting up and installing machines, customizing them, selecting coffee and carrying out service and maintenance. From the good feedback he receives, he knows how much pleasure it gives with a reliable coffee machine that works and how well received quality coffee is in everyday working life.
Coffee that lives up to the good break feeling
Solberg & Hansen's most important task is to facilitate development, quality and sustainability through long-term partnerships directly with the coffee farmer. This is the basis for our entire range of freshly roasted quality coffee, from classic blends with a historical flavor to unique, world-class micro batches.
- We can follow the raw material all the way from its point of origin, via our distillery at Ryen and to your office desk. This makes for great coffee for work," says Rieder.
