Not a coffee drinker? We Don't Judge!

Date: 09-04-2025

Not a coffee drinker? Don’t worry– we won’t report you to HR. While coffee might be the lifeblood of many workplaces, we know it’s not for everyone. But that doesn’t mean you should miss out on a great office beverage experience. Whether you’re cutting back on caffeine, never liked the taste, or just prefer something different, we’ve got some top-tier office beverages for you to experience.

At Foundation Coffee, we believe everyone deserves a great office beverage moment. So, for the latte-leavers and espresso-evaders among us—here are a few office drink alternatives that still deliver that daily joy (and might even win over a few coffee converts).

 

1. Hot Chocolate: The Comfort Drink

For those who enjoy a touch of indulgence with their daily routine, hot chocolate is the perfect treat between back-to-back meetings. Our secret recipe hot chocolate is a crowd favourite and plays nicely with any coffee machine milk frother. Whether you’re using your coffee machine’s milk frother for a barista-style experience or enjoying our special recipe hot chocolate through an automated machine, it’s a delicious way to recharge. For an extra treat, consider adding toppings like marshmallows– HR approved, of course. 

 

2. Tea: The Calm in the Chaos

Tea lovers, you’re in luck! Whether you’re into a classic English Breakfast, a soothing chamomile, or a bold chai latte, tea is the perfect alternative to coffee. Not only is tea easy to prepare using your office coffee machine’s hot water function, but it’s also packed with antioxidants, making it a wellness retreat in a cup. Plus, there’s just something about a warm cup of tea that makes the busy workday feel a little more sophisticated.

 

3. Iced Beverages: Cool, Refreshing, and Caffeine-Free

Not every winning idea needs to be piping hot! Stock up on ice, get creative, and try a cold chocolate milk, an iced decaf latte, or a refreshing herbal brew on the rocks. That’s why every office should have a freezer stocked with ice, ready to go. It’s the 3pm pick-me-up your inbox didn’t see coming. 

 

4. Decaf Coffee: The Best of Both Worlds

Want the coffee experience without the jittery side hustle? Decaf coffee from Foundation is your diplomatic solution. It’s for the team players who want to join the coffee catch-ups without needing to meditate afterwards. Many modern coffee machines can brew a café-quality decaf that delivers the same rich flavour as regular coffee. 

Great office culture isn’t built on coffee alone (but it helps). With the right machine and a few thoughtful additions, you can cater to everyone’s beverage love language.
