“It has saved me so much time because I don't have to spend time cleaning the coffee area and I don't have to deal with coffee complaints. Everyone is Happy.” - JoDee Marlatt, Boise Office Solutions (Seattle) For a closer look, please download this file to preview the I-Cup demo On-Demand / Interactive Cup™ Brewer Customer Testimonials F5 Networks Sandy Gilbert, Corporate Operations Manager About six months ago, several of our most outspoken inside sales staff complained to me about our coffee. One day I walked through their work area and they had set up a '“Starbucks cube'” with cups, napkins, and thermos of coffee which they brought in. Staff commented that for F5 to continue to prosper, we had to do something about the coffee. I called Larry at Pot O’ Gold, who told me more about the new on-demand brewer system from Starbucks. I begged him for the first machines off the boat, truck or train. We launched a taste test on two of our four floors the following week. We decided on Caffé_ Verona® and soon after added House Blend to one floor. The staff emails of raves and thanks received after we launched the Starbucks Interactive Cup™ brewer were outstanding. Today we’ve this great cup of Starbucks coffee onsite! The response from customers, vendors, and prospective new employees has been extremely positive. It seems that our new coffee service confirms our belief that happy employees are great employees. [back to top]

HomeStreet Bank Susan Ferriby, Corporate Services The employees of HomeStreet Bank are very pleased with the new Starbucks Interactive Cup brewer. We have observed an increase in productivity in having these units on-site because fewer people are leaving the office to get their quality cup of coffee. Coffee waste has also improved with the one cup at a time feature. There is a perceived value in this perk offered to the employees....especially the Starbucks® Gourmet Hot Cocoa! [back to top]

Boise Office Solutions - Seattle JoDee Marlatt, Specialized Services Manager I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for talking us into installing the Starbucks Interactive Cup™ brewer. Everyone absolutely loves the coffee (no surprise there) and the machine has had nothing but rave reviews. Speaking from an administrator standpoint, it's easy to use and maintain and most of all, it's clean! It has saved me so much time because I don't have to spend time cleaning the coffee area and I don't have to deal with coffee complaints. Everyone is Happy. [back to top]

Mulvanny G2 Architects Priscilla Arthaud-Boughton, Corporate Resources Manager At MulvannyG2, changing the coffee requires as much strategic planning as changing employee benefits! The Starbucks Interactive Cup™ brewer has quickly become a part of our culture. With 250 employees located on three interconnected floors, the Interactive brewer is the modern version of the office water cooler. Staff members who occasionally ran into each other in the elevator are gathering at the brewer and using the brew time as a time to catch up. [back to top]

Pacific Market International Greg Janky, Sr. Industrial Designer Pacific Market International, Greg Janky, Sr. Industrial Designer We got an email from the Executive Assistant just before Xmas stating that we were getting yet another coffee brewing contraption for the 5th floor. I was very skeptical having gone thru several failed relationships with "other" types of coffee brewing and storage devices, and resisted even giving the machine the time of day; "No way am I giving up my morning trip to the local coffee house!" I thought to myself. Then one morning in January I found myself in a jam. I desperately needed my coffee fix, but I had no time to go leave the building and make it to my all-important meeting. What was I to do? I reluctantly gave in and took this new machine for a test drive. Boo-Yaaa!!! By far the best damn coffee I've had at work ever! Kid you not! Now I am a happy monkey, and every morning I visit my favorite automated Starbucks Coffee contraption before I begin designing the products that support the liquid-happiness! [back to top]
