Just before Christmas we sold our Jura F70 espresso machine in an auction to an ipoque employee. Not really worth a blog entry, you might think. But this particular coffee machine is special. It was ipoque’s first major investment in “staff well-being infrastructure” five years ago. And the money came from our first traffic management installation. It was a good investment.
In the beginning, we were three people working out of a single office room in an incubator in Leipzig. But the company kept growing and quite soon the Jura service engineer started complaining with every maintenance: “This machine is not built for that many cups per day.”
Nevertheless our F70 made up to 100 excellent espressos, cappuccinos and lattes every day. Some days ago, the internal servings counter hit the 35000 mark. It was one of the toughest decisions in our business life to finally replace it. So it is good to know somebody will continue to use it. Somebody who appreciates good coffee.
We wish everybody a peaceful Christmas and a good and successful 2011.
