Come on, admit it, no matter what school of thoughts you belong to or what level of coffee appreciation you have attained, you are always comparing price. It wasn't about the inflation and there is nothing about the recession, cheaper things is a thing that everyone is looking for.

Cheaper might not be better, but no one wants to give up a good deal. So, in my search for world best coffee, I come to realization on this point, if everyone is looking for lower cost coffee, wouldn't one jump in elation in a coffee that is free!

There you have it, my nirvana of coffee experience. Seriously, I find myself finding it easier to swallow when the coffee is cheap. Of course, with the coffee being free, I am sure I would enjoy the free coffee so much more...

In the country where I came from, where office vending is a very competitive market, what I am going to highlight works perfectly. From my understanding, in the US and Europe market, this should also work find.

If this does not apply to your country, write something in the comments, called for help and I should come to your "free coffee" rescue after studying the situation

1. A proposal

There are actually 2 tier to getting free coffee from this proposal, the long term and the short term. What I am going to show you first is the short term. I might insert the long term, but because the content belongs to another author, I would have to seek his permission first.

To get free coffee, the very first thing you need is a coffee machine. And to get a coffee maker in your office, you need a reason.

Start a "motivate ourself" campagin or pitch to your boss on how you want to boast the morale of your fellow employees, trust me, it would always be well received.

Of course, the platform for this proposal is to motivate and increase productivity of the employees by giving them free supply of coffee.

To get the green light for this project, tell your boss that all installations and coffee would be free of charge. Usually, at this point, it would definitely be approved.

2. The quotation

After getting the green light to move the "free coffee" project forward, you need to called a quotation. And here is how you specify your base requirements:

1. A validty of 3 months
2. Trial test of 1 months
3. validty would start on the day of trial test

In theory, you should more than 6 quotations and it everyone would to provide you with coffee and testing, you have a window of 6 months free coffee.

The samples and the machines would come easily, these coffee companies are going all out to win accounts, what you are giving out is like a pot of coffee. The bigger your office, the better your deals.

3. The sampling

Of course, after sampling for one month, feedback to the coffee companies that you would evaluate further, asked them if they can extend their validity.

This would come in useful when we are talking about the longer term free coffee ploy.

Simply by controlling your schedule, you would have enjoyed 6 months free coffee.

4. Enjoy the coffee

Please do not drink the coffee alone, invite your bosses and colleagues, make doubly sure that your boss knows about this installation and free coffee.

At this juncture, prepare some simple survey to highlight that you are working and tracking the motivation of the employees.

Again, this survey form is critical to your moving forward plan in getting free coffee perpetually.

There you have it, a tip on how to get free coffee for a period of time...
