Sugar & Sweeteners for the Breakroom

Many professionals rely on coffee to find the energy they need to take on the workday, but not everyone enjoys the bitter taste of black coffee. Luckily, it’s easy to sweeten your next cup with delicious sweetener packets — whether they contain real sugar or not.

What are Coffee Sweetener Packets?

A sweetener is a food additive like sugar or an artificial ingredient that provides a sweet taste in foods and beverages. Sweetener packets are typically two-teaspoon packets which are the perfect amount for a single serving.

Livening up a cup of coffee or tea with sugar is a staple in a majority of households, cafes and break rooms. Staples carries sugar and coffee sweeteners from well-known brands like Sweet'N Low, Splenda, Truvia, Equal and In The Raw. With so many options available, it’s easy to find delicious sweeteners that align with a healthy lifestyle.

Sugar and coffee sweetener packets pair well with cold brew coffee and a variety of drinks. A dash of pure clover honey can make a cup of tea especially decadent. Beyond beverages, you can sprinkle sugar or sweetener on fruit, desserts and other foods to enhance the flavor.

What Types of Sweetener Packets Are Available?

The two main types of sweetener include sugar and sugar-free options. Learn about their differences below.

Sugar

Sugar is naturally found in many foods and is a common additive for its appealing taste. As one of the key nutrients that provides energy, sugar is a great choice to add to drinks for those who enjoy it. Some may prefer it to artificial sweeteners because it doesn’t have any aftertaste after consumption.

No Sugar Sweetener

Some consumers may prefer a low-calorie sweetener to promote a healthier lifestyle while those with health restrictions find it a necessity to avoid pure sugar altogether. Stock up on both sweetener styles and a selection of flavored creamers for guests to optimize beverages to their liking.

What Types of Coffee Sweetener Packets Are Available?

Coffee sweetener is sold in a variety of container types and even in bulk to stock an entire workplace or shared space. Find out which type is right for you.

Container Types

When it comes to stocking up the break room with coffee supplies, there are several types of pre-packaged options.

Packet

Most commonly coffee sweetener comes in packets. These single-serving paper packages keep your breakroom sanitary. To create an entirely touch-free space, buy Keurig K-Cups for the office breakroom to keep everything individually packaged. Packets are easily organized in colorful caddies for convenient and economical use in restaurants and cafeterias.

Canister

A large canister of sugar is ideal for those that don’t require individual servings. Canisters pour quickly and often have enough space at the lid to add a scoop for accessibility without touching the sugar or sweetener.

Bottle

Bottled sweetener is a little different from dry, powdered forms. Liquid coffee sweetener tends to be richer and provide more flavor in a pour for less product used. Bottle coffee sweeteners also provide a variety of flavors like vanilla, hazelnut and caramel syrups. Users can pair flavors to make their favorite latte, like combining a hazelnut syrup with coffee creamer for the ultimate hazelnut delight.

Bulk Options

Sweetener packets are sold in quantities ranging from 100 per box to 2,000 per carton so businesses large and small can stock up and save accordingly.
