Frequently Asked Questions
How much does office espresso service cost in Augusta?
Our managed plans start at $495/month for small offices (under 20 employees), including the $12,000 espresso machine, all maintenance, and weekly bean deliveries. Most Augusta businesses save 22-37% versus staffing a coffee barista or replacing pod machines quarterly.
What's the minimum contract length?
We require just 12 months - shorter than the 3-year leases most Augusta commercial coffee machine vendors demand. Early termination fees apply, but we've had zero cancellations among our 2026 clients.
Do you service areas outside Augusta proper?
Absolutely. We regularly install systems in Grovetown, Martinez, and North Augusta. Our service area covers all of Richmond, Columbia, and Aiken counties with same-day emergency repairs.
Can we get flavored syrups?
All our Augusta accounts receive complimentary seasonal syrup rotations (pumpkin spice August-October, peppermint November-January) at no extra charge.
How does this compare to national chains?
Unlike franchise models with rigid menus, we customize everything from bean roast profiles to machine aesthetics. Ask about our Augusta-themed limited edition "Masters Blend" each April.
