Discover the most sustainable and quality coffee options for your office
What coffee options do you have for your company?
More and more companies are looking for sustainable and quality coffee options to offer to your employees. In this article we present the three varieties coffee for offices that you can take and its ways of consumption in a simple way:
Coffee according to its origin, roasting and quality
Arabica Coffee, the best option.
Arabica coffee is one of the two main coffee species grown commercially globally, the other being Robusta coffee.
The arabica coffee It originated in the highlands of Ethiopia and is widely considered the highest quality and most desired coffee species on the market.
The arabica coffee It is grown in regions with a warm and humid climate in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Growing conditions, including altitude, temperature, soil and rainfall, are considered to have a great impact on the quality of Arabica coffee. Therefore, Arabica coffee beans grown in different regions can have different flavors and unique characteristics which makes it the best option whenever we want to enjoy good coffee.
In Incapto We work with 100% Arabica coffees chosen by our Q-Grader Beatriz Mesas, who has searched for the best farms to offer a spectacular and sustainable coffee.
Robusta coffee, balanced as long as we know its origin.
Robusta coffee has a stronger, bitter, and earthier flavor compared to Arabica coffee. It also contains about twice as much caffeine as Arabica coffee. Due to its flavor and higher caffeine content, robusta coffee is commonly used for the production of instant coffee, espresso, and coffee blends.
The Robusta coffee crop is generally more disease resistant and can grow at lower altitudes than Arabica coffee. However, robusta coffee beans are often of lower quality compared to arabica coffee beans. Although there are high-quality robusta coffee varieties grown in certain regions, it is most often used as a cheaper alternative to Arabica coffee.
Never roasted or mixed coffee!
Roasted coffee is a type of roasted coffee with sugar. This process can mask the coffee's natural flavors, resulting in a less complex and less enjoyable drink.
Additionally, caramelization of sugar can make coffee taste burnt and bitter. Sugar can also damage your coffee maker as it sticks to surfaces and can cause cleaning and maintenance problems. Connoisseurs and lovers of good coffee generally prefer coffee roasted without added sugar to enjoy the natural and complex flavors of the coffee.
Coffee according to its packaging and way of consumption
Below we will see the possible ways to consume coffee depending on the type of consumption and machine you prefer:
coffee beans
Consuming coffee beans allows you to enjoy the complete coffee experience, from the fresh aroma of the freshly ground grains to the rich and complex flavor of the drink. Whole beans also retain the coffee's natural flavors and oils better, resulting in a higher quality cup of coffee. Furthermore, Coffee grounds have many uses, discover everything you can do with them.

ground coffee
A very popular format but with a key complication: Already ground coffee begins to lose flavor and aroma immediately after grinding due to oxidation and exposure to air. Additionally, the grind may not be suitable for the specific coffee brew you wish to make, which may result in a less satisfying drink.
Coffee in single-use capsule systems
Coffee capsules are convenient, but using them causes large amounts of plastic and aluminum waste, which is bad for the environment. Additionally, capsule coffee is generally more expensive than whole bean or ground coffee, and the quality of the coffee may not be as good due to prolonged storage in the capsules.
Best option for the office - (100% Arabica coffee beans, natural roast, ground before consumption)
With all of the above, the best option both for home and for any type of office, regardless of the size of your company, is to consume 100% Arabica coffee, avoiding mixtures and roasting.
In the preparation mode, it should always be freshly ground coffee beans, with the simplest method being the use of super-automatic coffee makers. In Incapto, we offer a complete business model for offices, leaving the coffee machine in session at no cost, and automatically sending the coffee to your offices according to consumption: coffee beans, Arabica and freshly roasted.
Conclusions and references
As you can see, enjoying freshly ground coffee in the office has never been easier! You just need to go back to the origins and consume coffee beans from a super-automatic coffee maker.
