We took our members on a field trip to the local roaster/coffee shop and we had a coffee tasting. We picked two types of coffee to use, so we could switch around and keep from getting jaded with just one type. We were going to have a custom blend made - one of the perks (sorry for the pun) of using a local roaster, but folks seemed happy with what they picked. Every now and then someone brings a pound of something new back from a trip.
As for hardware, we have a donated french press which is hardly ever used, a donated consumer-type espresso machine which is almost never used, and we finally graduated to a Newco commercial coffee machine. Best decision yet and well worth the investment. Due to space limitations we got a 12-cup pour-over model in their ECO line (AKH-TC) and even the devout tea drinkers have been able to make coffee without messing it up.
We thought about the pod-type coffee makers. While it’s convenient, all the pods going into the landfill didn’t fit with our business practices, and the thought of filling the reusable pods made me cringe at the level of effort needed.

I got a good deal on a reconditioned expresso machine which is doing great, we then we are a relatively small, new space.
Then I have a bunch of ‘French press’ plungers and ground coffee which members can use and we also use to make up insulated jugs for workshops/ meeting rooms etc.
I have an aversion to both Nestle and to the millions of little plastic pods going into landfills so didn’t go the nespresso route but I wish there was a Eco-version as its damn convenient!
All coffee/tea is free for our members.
