Back to school – The staff room coffee machine

At Wellbeing Group, we are fully aware of how hard teachers have had it over the last few years, having to somehow adapt to online classrooms through the COVID pandemic and the return to the classroom has been an even harder challenge trying to transition children back into a normal structure of education, some of whom would not have experienced a classroom during what should have been they’re formative years of education.

With increased demands and even more guidelines to now consider, the job of school staff and is becoming more and more complex, leaving teachers finding it hard to find the time to take a much-deserved break in their hectic days. So, when they do, shouldn’t they get the refreshment quality they deserve.

Hot drinks are the lifeblood of any school’s teacher staffroom, coffee is the fuel and the nectar that keeps teachers functioning until the home time bell. With a nice cuppa, often the only little moment in a teacher’s day where it may allow for a little nugget of reflection or moment of indulgence, a spoon full of instant coffee and a kettle doesn’t seem to cut it anymore, nor does it fairly represent the value and gratitude that schools should be attributing to their staff.

Coffee Machine for schools, colleges & universities

Compact bean-to-cup table-top or floor-standing vending machines, with fresh milk options, are an ideal low maintenance (easy to clean), energy and money saving solutions, whilst delivering coffee shop quality beverages to the school staff room or canteen. Coffee machines are also much more practical and efficient for teachers, as there is no waiting around for a kettle to boil at the touch of a button, you can have anything from a latte to a cappuccino or mocha in seconds – more time to actually enjoy the drink!

So much more emphasis is now place on adhering to good hygiene practices in schools, since the pandemic and many staff, pupils and parents may still be concerned about using the same equipment or appliances due to infection risks. Our range of touchless machines means that staff don’t even have to touch the appliance to get there freshly brewed beverage.

A coffee machine for school and teaching staff, is much more about providing better quality beverages, it’s a gesture, staff will feel more valued. Teachers spend their lives striving to improve the lives and wellbeing for children, but what about the wellbeing of our teachers? Do we think about their mental wellbeing enough?
