Ready-made nut milks can be expensive, contain preservatives, and create packaging waste, while home nut milk machines aren't designed for office environments. There's an opportunity to bridge this gap with a tailored solution.
One approach could involve placing compact, durable nut milk machines in offices alongside a subscription service for pre-portioned ingredients like almonds, oats, or cashews. These machines would need to be:
The accompanying subscription could offer different nut blends, sweeteners, and optional boosters like protein or adaptogens. Offices might appreciate the reduced packaging waste and employees could enjoy customizing their fresh, additive-free milk.

The subscription model creates predictable costs for offices while ensuring steady revenue for the provider. Pilot programs could test whether employees actually use the machines enough to justify the investment.
A minimal version might start with:
As usage data comes in, the offering could expand to include more advanced machines with features like automated cleaning, and more subscription options like seasonal flavors or wellness-focused blends.
Compared to simply buying cartons of nut milk, this approach offers fresher results and less waste. Versus home milk machines, it would be designed specifically for shared use and easier maintenance. The key would be demonstrating that the convenience and quality justify the setup.
