[ISLMA-Share] Coffee in the Library

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We've been successfully selling coffee, tea, and hot chocolate using a two
Keurig machines in our library for several years now. We charge students $2
and staff members $1.50. For this price they receive a cup with a lid, a
k-cup, 3 liquid creamers, and unlimited powdered creamer and sugar packets.
We have around 10 flavors of k-cups available. The most popular flavors are
French Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Caramel Vanilla Cream coffee and hot
chocolate. Sometimes we'll have marshmallows available for the hot
chocolate.

We order our k-cups and coffee supplies from Amazon. I find that their
prices after a subscribe and save discount are cheaper than most other
locations.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to contact me
