How to Choose an Office Coffee Supplier in NZ 2025
Why Your Office Coffee Supplier (NZ) Matters
Coffee is often the first thing your staff experience each morning. A good supplier helps you:
• Keep staff happy and energised
• Avoid downtime from running out of coffee
• Present a polished, professional image to visitors and clients
• Provide consistently fresh, great-tasting coffee every day
It’s not just about flavour — it’s about reliability, consistency, and convenience.
Key Factors to Consider
Quality
Are the beans freshly roasted, or have they been sitting on a shelf for months? Fresh beans last longer and taste better.
Pricing
Most offices use around 2kg per 10–15 staff each month. Expect to pay between $40–$50/kg for quality beans. Ask if pricing includes delivery.
Delivery and turnaround
Reliable dispatch times matter. Look for suppliers who can deliver in 2–3 working days so you never run out.
Flexibility
Can they adjust grind sizes (beans, espresso, filter, plunger)? Are they willing to go the extra mile to supply you with coffee during a coffee emergency (when you've run out and forgot to order).
Service and support
You want someone who can answer questions quickly and make the whole process easy.
How Much Coffee Does an Office Actually Need?
• 10 staff = about 2kg per month
• 20 staff = about 3–4kg per month
• 40+ staff = 5–9kg per month
Knowing this helps you compare pricing between suppliers and order the right amount from the start.
often give more personal service, faster delivery, and fresher beans. If your office is in Auckland or elsewhere in NZ, working with a local coffee supplier can be the easiest way to get fresh beans quickly and consistently.
How to Get Started with a New Supplier
1. Request pricing or a quote
2. Order a small 1–2kg trial batch; try multiple products to see what suits best.
3. Test it with your team for a week
4. Email to discuss ordering arrangements.
This keeps it simple and lets you avoid running out of coffee unexpectedly.
