New survey reveals top office break frustrations

For most office workers, a coffee break promises five minutes of calm in a busy working day. However, a new survey from DeskDemon and Nestlé Professional^® has revealed that sometimes small frustrations can get in the way.

The kitchen’s a mess (61%), there’s no fresh milk (49%), there’s no clean spoons (35%) and lids are missing (13%) are among some of the biggest complaints.

However, when it comes to the office coffee break, it really is ‘the little things that count’, with half of workers (49%) saying a great cup of coffee can improve their working day. According to those surveyed, a ‘great’ cup of coffee at work boils down to this: it tastes good (62.4%), it’s made just the way you like it (36.1%), it’s quick and easy to prepare (25.5%) and it’s a brand you can trust (23.5%).

Lynn Little, Standard Ingredients Lead at Nestlé Professional^® says: “As the survey shows, it’s often the smallest things that get in the way of having a great cup of coffee at work.

“Since launching the world’s first instant coffee in 1938, Nescafé^® has always remained at the forefront of innovation, and we’re continually listening to customers to develop new ideas and find new ways to make their lives that little bit easier.
