Client Overview

Trustpilot, a leading online review platform, has revolutionised how businesses gather and respond to customer feedback. As a fast-growing company with offices around the world, Trustpilot prioritises employee well-being, including creating a pleasant and productive workplace. Central to this focus is providing high-quality coffee for employees and visitors alike. To enhance their workplace experience, Trustpilot sought out a dependable coffee partner to supply state-of-the-art coffee machines for their office in London.

Challenges

As a tech company with a large workforce, Trustpilot required a coffee solution that was both efficient and premium. The company faced three key challenges:

1. High Coffee Demand: With hundreds of employees and regular visitors, Trustpilot needed a machine that could handle a large volume of coffee orders without sacrificing quality or speed.

2. Diverse Coffee Preferences: Employees had varying tastes in coffee, from traditional black coffee to complex, milk-based drinks like cappuccinos and lattes. Any solution would have to accommodate this diversity.

3. Sustainability Goals: Trustpilot, like many forward-thinking companies, has a strong focus on sustainability. Their coffee solution needed to align with their environmental values, incorporating energy-efficient machines and ethically sourced beans.

4. Required Dual Milk– Trustpilot like to offer their employees the option of alternative milks, and therefore having a machine that could offer both dairy and non-dairy options was very important to them.

Solution

We proposed various suitable options and the Franke A600 coffee machine was selected for Trustpilot’s requirements. The Franke A600 is a top-tier bean-to-cup coffee machine that excels in both performance and customisation.

The two Franke A600 machines were selected for their:

1. High Capacity and Speed: The A600 can produce a wide range of coffee drinks quickly and efficiently, handling up to 150 cups per day. This made it an ideal solution for Trustpilot’s busy office environment.

2. Advanced Technology and Customisation: The Franke A600 offers touch-screen controls, allowing users to select and customise their drinks with ease. Its foam system provides barista-quality milk foam for cappuccinos and lattes, ensuring that all tastes were catered for.

3. Sustainability Features: The Franke A600 is energy-efficient, with automatic cleaning programmes that reduce waste and maintain hygiene. Combined with Caffia’s offering of ethically sourced beans, the solution supported Trustpilot’s sustainability goals.

Implementation

Caffia worked closely with Trustpilot to ensure a seamless installation of the two Franke A600 machines. This process involved:
