Premium, personalised coffee experience for Hg staff

Hg invests in its future with TopBrewer 

Back in early 2020, Hg enhanced their London HQ for their employees. The private equity firm chose to reconfigure the office, and chose to install 2 TopBrewer Pro series undercounter coffee machines to deliver a barista-quality coffee experience for their staff.

Hg employees are able to download the TopBrewer app to their personal device and customise their drinks. 

The Leesman Index found that office workers view refreshment and coffee facilities as the third most important feature in the workplace, behind only a desk and chair, and the Hg team is no different! For a team of coffee lovers, a barista-quality coffee experience had to be a vital consideration in the design process. 

TopBrewer’s unique undercounter coffee tap design was what piqued the interest of the Hg team, but they knew it couldn’t be style over substance - the coffee had to be top quality.

After seeing and experiencing the TopBrewer office coffee solution at a different location in London, Hg decided to invest in two TopBrewer Pro series for their space, with one machine installed in the main kitchen breakout area, and a second machine at the other side of the office in a coffee point to ensure the whole team has access to great coffee throughout the day. 

TopBrewer’s sleek design matched the minimal and stylish offices perfectly, allowing Hg to offer a premium drinks solution for staff without compromising on aesthetics or design.

With nearly 300 employees to cater for, it was important to invest in a premium drinks solution that would cater to all tastes. TopBrewer offers a wide menu of drinks, including steaming water for tea drinkers, and each drink can be completely personalised to meet the individual’s exact taste. We all have different tastes, so why would we all like the exact same coffee? Hg also chose to add the luxury hot chocolate module and upgrade to the TopBrewer Dual-Milk Fridge, meaning that they are able to offer two different types of milk, including non-dairy alternatives such as soy or almond milk.
