Picture this. Your residents, bleary-eyed from an early morning wake-up call or a long day at the office, walk into your lobby. Instead of being met with a run-of-the-mill pod brewer or an uninspired drip coffee machine, they’re greeted by a sleek, barista-quality, bean-to-cup machine that fills the air with the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee beans. It’s not just coffee; it’s an experience.
America’s love affair with coffee is undeniable. Nearly three in four Americans drink coffee every day, according to Drive Research’s 2024 Coffee Report. Bean-to-cup machines like SipWithMe deliver convenience, quality, and a little luxury—all without residents having to leave your apartment community.

According to a recent survey from WithMe, Inc., 82% of residents in communities with SipWithMe called it an "essential" amenity. And it’s easy to see why. Sherry Haney, a Senior Property Manager at Security Properties, notes, "Our residents love the SipWithMe coffee and machine. I have received multiple compliments on the variety of brews they can select from, how the machine is easy to use, and the flavor of the coffee."
For residents, it’s all about:
- Free or Affordable Beverages: Depending on their community’s package, residents enjoy the perk of complimentary or very affordable ($1.50 - $2.75 per cup) barista-quality beverages.
