A countertop water dispenser provides fresh, filtered water to drink. It is exactly what its name implies: A machine that cools your drinking water. But did you know it also comes with other less obvious conveniences — that may be just as important to your workplace?
In addition to staying hydrated, you and your employees or coworkers can enjoy instant drinks and food, particularly if you invest in an office water cooler with hot water setting. That means less time spent on lunch breaks and runs to the coffee shop, which equals more productivity!
A happier, more productive workforce means a better bottom line. Bonus: A countertop bottleless water cooler takes up less space in your break room. Find out five drinks and foods and other tasks made easy with a countertop water cooler.
