Some Like It Cold: Beverage Trends Making a Splash in the Workplace

October 30, 2024 · Read Time: 1 Min

Hot beverages aren’t going anywhere. For millions of people inside and outside of offices, starting the day with a hot cup of coffee is a habit that will stick with them for a lifetime. 

That said, more and more people are reaching for cold beverages as their drinks of choice throughout the day. As cold beverages like iced coffee become more popular (especially among Gen Zers), including some of these options in your workplace program is important to engage as many of your employees as possible. Talk to InReach today about how you can utilize cold beverage trends along with other products to make the most out of what you offer your people. 

New Office Beverage Trends

Adding Options Is the Name of the Game

Diving into the world of cold drinks for your office is not about replacing or removing the hot beverages that your people already love. As we said above, the countless hot coffee drinkers in offices from coast to coast will not be changing that morning ritual anytime soon.

So, your goal with a beverage program in your building is to connect with more people by spreading out your product offerings. This means maintaining the parts of your hot beverage program that work while also working with InReach to tack on some trending, convenient cold beverage solutions. 

An Elevated Water Experience

Water is essential to life, of course, and it is something that most of us could stand to drink a little more of from day to day. To some people, drinking basic water is a bit boring, so they tend to reach for other things—or simply don’t drink much at all during the day. 

That story can be changed with the addition of a Bevi water dispenser in your office. Far from the traditional office water cooler, this is an advanced machine with an incredible array of water services. The Bevi features an intuitive touchscreen that allows users to modify their water in a number of ways, including picking between still or sparkling water and a long list of flavorings. Once your employees have had the opportunity to hydrate with Bevi, they will find themselves stopping by to customize a tasty drink regularly throughout the day. 

Don’t Overlook Cold Brew

Not all coffee is served hot, and by many measures, cold coffee has never been more popular. If some of the people in your office prefer to drink their coffee cold rather than hot—or at least want the option to pick depending on how they feel that day—stocking cold brew is sure to be a hit. At InReach, we are proud to offer Wandering Bear as a cold brew option that brings outstanding quality and taste to every sip. Wandering Bear offers a wide selection of flavors and has quickly built an excellent reputation as one of the favored brands for cold brew lovers everywhere.
