Productivity is a hot topic in our current climate. With a high number of Vancouver companies opting to maintain responsible social distancing, many employees are to continue working from home. This is a major win for those pushing to toss outdated business practices out the window and make remote working the new norm.
It’s common knowledge that the esteemed espresso is a big part of starting the day. Coffee allows working individuals to stay at the top of their game by helping the brain to remain sharp and stimulated. It also happens to be the subject matter of popular, witty Instagram posts and memes floating around online. But all jokes aside, the espresso really does play a significant role in productivity and creativity, whether you’re working from the home office or not. When talking about those who are new to the world of remote working, however, it seems that many of these career-minded folks are choosing not to collect their daily dose of caffeine from their local coffee shop. Instead of stopping for a cup of java on their way to work, coffee lovers are now leaning towards making their own cappuccinos from the comfort of their homes. This option saves an astonishing amount of money in the long run - so it comes as no surprise that a large quantity of work-from-home consumers are investing in professional grade, at-home espresso machines.
Cost, Comfort and Convenience
Vancouver loves its lattes. In fact, the latte (along with the yoga mat) might as well be a municipal mascot for this beautiful city that we’re lucky enough to call home. However, the average store-bought latte costs around five dollars. When you look at your accumulated coffee purchases over the course of a year, that really adds up. People have caught on to this and are now asking themselves why - if they’re no longer required to go into the office - should they be spending 5 dollars a day or more when they can produce an equally delicious, high quality latte in their own kitchen? At-home espresso machines have increased in popularity almost overnight, because countless new remote workers are realizing that in the big picture, they will actually save money - and time - by going this route.
The two biggest reasons to purchase a store-bought latte are quality and convenience. But these reasons no longer apply to those who will be working from home for the foreseeable future. At-home espresso machines offer the convenience of a home-made latte without sacrificing on quality. They are more affordable than endless daily purchases in-store and allow coffee drinkers to avoid the chaos of a bustling coffee shop. Alternatively, consumers are afforded the privilege of making and enjoying their favourite gourmet caffè in peace and quiet (and pajamas, without judgement!) – there is a great deal of value in that.

There are several options for at-home espresso machines, and it really comes down to preference, as well as your requirements with regard to capabilities, style, cost etc. Whatever the case, you decide which machine best fits within your budgetary allowance while meeting your espresso expectations.
