Coffee Cups, Stirrers & Filters

Provide breakrooms and kitchen pantries with ample office coffee supplies to keep the workforce energized. Along with coffee and coffee makers, a full stock of cups, stirrers, straws, and filters means handy access to invigorating and refreshing drinks throughout the day. While disposable cutlery simplifies clean-up, reusable options minimize costs and reduce waste. Explore the broad selection of office coffee solutions at Staples to meet the needs of small home offices, medium-size businesses, or large corporations.

Consider capacity and material when choosing suitable coffee cups
Make employees feel valued with an assortment of disposable cups for quick and easy preparation of coffee beverages. The standard 8-ounce cup fits small to mid-sized servings, while the 32-ounce variety delivers an extra jolt of caffeinated goodness. For a more concentrated brew, smaller coffee cups under 8 ounces hold single or double shots of espresso. Large offices or companies that host regular conventions can handle high-volume needs with bulk packages of 1,000 pieces or more per carton.

Throwaway cups come in various materials to serve different functions. Insulated paper cups keep hot coffee warm without causing hand discomfort. Poly-lined options with a single or double coating increase rigidity while preventing the liquid from dribbling or soaking through. Use polystyrene plastic cups in solid or transparent colors for iced coffee blends. They're lightweight and crack-resistant to withstand daily service. For a more flexible solution, foam cups offer insulation and durability to suit hot and cold preparations. Include cup accessories in your inventory checklist of office coffee supplies for added convenience. Lids create a tight seal to prevent spills, and cup sleeves enable employees to carry hot drinks back to their desks to resume working.

High-quality coffee filters for a rich, flavorful brew
Regardless if they're bleached or unbleached, coffee filter paper in the appropriate size and thickness ensures optimal flow and clean flavor profiles. For versatile use, most drip-style machines accommodate either cone- or basket-shaped designs. Conical filters allow for uniform extraction to create a robust, full-bodied brew. Basket-shaped or flat-bottomed units come with tall, strong walls to keep coffee grounds from overflowing. For Keurig systems, some K-Cups feature an internal reusable filter for trapping bitter sediments. 

Handy stirrers and straws for enhanced office coffee service  
A one-stop coffee station with the right self-serve supplies and accessories let employees enjoy delicious coffee without leaving the workplace. Stirrers in either plastic or wooden form allow even distribution of flavor, and they make it easy to produce delectable coffee blends with creamers or sweeteners. Spruce up the counter with sturdy plastic or paper straws in fun colors and eye-catching designs. Most metal straws come with silicone tips for a comfortable sipping experience. To maintain a clean working environment, store office coffee supplies in organizers and dispensers.

What is PLA in some coffee cups?
PLA, or poly lactic acid, is a bioplastic made from plant-based materials such as sugar cane or corn starch. The biodegradable and compostable nature of PLA-coated paper cups make them an eco-friendly option for businesses geared towards achieving sustainability goals.

Should you choose bleached or unbleached coffee filters?
High-quality bleached or unbleached filter paper won't impact the taste of coffee, so the choice boils down mostly to personal preference. Some favor bleached filters for their crisp, bright white appearance. Others may opt for unbleached coffee filters for a more natural brown look and a greener approach to production processes.

Is it safe to use stainless steel straws?
Yes, metal straws made of food-grade stainless steel are BPA-free to ensure safety. Most multipack selections also include a soft brush for thorough cleaning and easy maintenance.
