You’re planning a move and counting down to the big day. There are removals to book, equipment to account for, and customers to tell. Safe to say that you’ll be fuelling the move with caffeine – LOTS of caffeine.
While the kettle and coffee shop will have to do during move day, what will you do from here on in?
For those soon to move, our team have whipped up six tips for getting the drinks flowing after your arrival.
1. Plan WELL in advance – this will make the logistics of the machine fitting all the easier
