Top 5 Reasons Why Your Office Needs a Hot Water Dispenser
In the office, colleagues often become a close-knit work family, united in their drive to achieve common goals together. Similarly, the office space isn’t just a backdrop for work but plays a key role in fostering a welcoming atmosphere and a sense of place. Sharing a warm cup of tea with colleagues on a chilly winter day is a comforting way to connect and unwind.
What exactly is a hot water tap?
A hot water tap is exactly as you’d imagine it to be, a water tap directly attached to your building’s water supply, micro-filtered, with a built-in heating system so water is instantly heated as it pours out into your mug. Hot water on demand, with slow kettles a thing of the past.
Hot water dispensers can be seamlessly integrated into kitchen designs by concealing their hardware beneath the counter, resulting in a sleek, traditional tap appearance. An example of this is Vivreau’s Extra C-Tap, which combines an elegant countertop design with exceptional functionality. In addition to instant hot water, models such as the C-Tap also provide excellent water micro-filtration, chilled still water, and sparkling water options, all from a single tap.
Top 5 Benefits of switching to an office hot water dispenser
1- Improved office atmosphere
When steps are taken by office management to improve staff amenities such as break rooms, it helps convey the message that staff are valued. A well-stocked breakroom with a wide range of quick and easy to access to hot beverages like tea and coffee, or sparkling water on tap can help create a positive atmosphere and boost employee morale.
Say goodbye to time consuming afternoon coffee runs, and endless waits for the kettle to boil with on-demand hot water on tap.
2- Filtered water improves taste – A more flavorful hot beverage
Using filtered water from your dispenser can significantly elevate the taste of your tea or coffee. By removing impurities like chlorine, chloramine, excessive minerals, and organic compounds, filtered water allows the true, nuanced flavors of your beverage to shine through. It also optimizes the brewing process by ensuring consistent water chemistry, leading to a more balanced and flavorful brew.
3- Power through the day – Enhanced Productivity and Hydration
It’s far too easy to become dehydrated when working hard on a project. Our focus is shifted to achieving work goals, and our own needs can take a backseat to our detriment. For optimal productivity, it’s important to encourage hydration in staff throughout the day to maintain focus, energy levels, and for overall wellness.
By offering access to a hot water dispenser, your colleagues know a calming mug of tea or coffee is few seconds away, encouraging little brain breaks with a soothing sip. These breaks have been shown to improve overall productivity. It can also communicate the organization’s commitment to facilitating work breaks for employee wellness.
4- Mother Nature sent a thank you card
Moving toward sustainable choices is now a non-negotiable in most businesses. With 74% of Americans saying they drink coffee daily, consider how many disposable coffee cups and pods that are discarded every year as a result. Hot water taps give staff the option to enjoy their coffee and tea sustainably with a reusable mug while also conveying a sustainability storytelling message.
5- Cost Effective solutions
A micro-filtered water dispenser can help to put a little “cha-ching!” back in your office management budget and your employee’s wallets too.
Workplace filtered water systems can be a significant budget saver in ongoing office cost savings. Consider the budget savings that can emerge from eliminating bottled water deliveries for still and sparkling water, and reducing coffee and tea pods. Staff can skip their morning café pit-stop, and instead enjoy a hot cup at work, bringing budget benefits for their own wallets.
