rezemo coffee tips for the home office
Home office during Corona – good coffee is a must!
Coffee accompanies us through our everyday lives like no other drink. Whether for breakfast, on the way to work, in the office or in the afternoon as an energy source for the last few hours of work. Since the beginning of this month, many employees have been working from home again due to the corona pandemic. Coffee consumption at home has suddenly become much more important than before. In this blog, we give you our best coffee tips for working from home!
Many of us are back in our home offices due to the current lockdown caused by the corona pandemic. This is changing a lot of things in our usual office life: On the one hand, it reduces personal contact with colleagues. On the other hand, it also affects our important (coffee) routines in our everyday office life. You usually start the day with a cup of coffee together at the morning kickoff and chat with colleagues at the coffee machine in between. Coffee often gives us a moment to breathe and calm down during a short break in the afternoon. When working from home, these familiar moments are no longer there. This makes it all the more important to create new routines. This way, you can continue to work productively and efficiently. At the same time, you can maintain communication within the team with a few simple tricks so that it does not suffer from the physical distance.
Tip 1: Make coffee preparation in the home office as uncomplicated as possible
To ensure that you have coffee that is easy and of good quality, just like in the office, it is worth rethinking the method of preparation. We are also fans of a lovingly prepared French press or hand-filtered coffee. However, this takes time, leisure and requires a greater or lesser amount of cleaning. In contrast, fully automatic machines and portafilters are relatively easy to clean. The beans are ground automatically and each cup can be freshly brewed. Unfortunately, however, they are usually the much more expensive option.
For us at rezemo, the capsule machine is the clear winner, especially in the home office . As you know, you can also calm your sustainability concerns with our ecological wooden coffee capsules . Put the capsule in, pull the lever down, coffee out. Capsule machines are incredibly easy to use and clean. Depending on your mood, you can choose exactly the rezemo edition you feel like at that moment. Plus, you always get freshly brewed coffee of the highest quality at the touch of a button. This is not only good for your motivation and efficiency, but also for our planet. The small machines usually switch themselves off after use and use little electricity. The rezemo coffee capsules are 100% bio-based and thus minimize the carbon footprint.
Do you prefer a cappuccino or latte macchiato? Do you usually get one from your local café near your office? No problem, the easy-care capsule machines are also available with an integrated milk frother!
Tip 2: Plan your morning kickoff virtually, with the whole team over a cup of coffee
Start your morning by structuring your tasks with a steaming cup of coffee. This will help you organize your day better, and the coffee will give you the motivation and strength you need in the morning. Many teams usually meet for a kickoff meeting in the morning and discuss the day's schedule over a coffee. This nice routine can also be transferred to the home office. Set up these meetings virtually as a team and meet with your colleagues in front of their laptops with a freshly brewed cup of coffee - just like you would in the office. This not only helps you work efficiently as a team. It also ensures that you see each other at least once a day, even if not in person. There is also room for small talk and important details that would otherwise be overlooked can be discussed.
Tip 3: Continue to plan important coffee breaks virtually
As described above, coffee breaks are an important part of our working day. Especially when working from home, we often forget how important breaks are in order to be able to work efficiently and with concentration. Therefore, our tip: try to plan a coffee break at home every now and then. This way you can take a short breather and clear your head for new tasks. Afterwards, you can continue working with much more concentration. Do you normally spend these coffee breaks in the office with your team or a specific colleague? Then invite them to a virtual coffee break. This can be spontaneous, but it can also be firmly anchored in the daily routine. This way you can also align your task distribution well with your break times.
Tip 4: Ask your employer if they support your coffee in the home office
Do you have the option of free coffee in the office? This shows that your employer has understood that coffee plays an important role in everyday life for many of their employees. By offering free coffee, your employer shows you how much they appreciate you, so that you and your colleagues are always productive and motivated. Since many employees are now increasingly switching back to working from home due to the pandemic, drinking coffee at home is suddenly becoming much more important than before.
If your employer has understood the importance of coffee in the office, it might be worth finding out whether they would also transfer this to the home office. Precisely because we think coffee capsules are so suitable for the home office, we have great starter packages in our range. Take a look at our rezemo online shop , perhaps they could be interesting as a suggestion for your team leader, manager or your HR department. Feel free to contact us directly at fragen@rezemo.de !
Tip 5: Plan virtual team events for cooking together
Team cohesion is a factor that should not be neglected, especially in the current situation. In addition to personal contact in the office, regular team events or shared team meals contribute to a better mutual understanding and motivation. As is well known, this type of get-together is also not possible due to the current Corona regulations. But we have a great alternative for you: You will soon find our coffee capsules in Tischline's cooking boxes . They can also be ordered once, i.e. without a subscription. This makes them ideal for virtual employee events, company events or even a slightly different Christmas party. From December, most of the boxes will contain two samples of our coffee capsules. This makes them perfect for a shared espresso or coffee after a successful virtual event.
