In the heart of Kirkland, Washington, blending modern design with “boundless living,” The Brynn, managed by Fairfield Residential, sets a new standard of apartment living for its growing resident community. Studio, one, and two-bedroom floor plans, as well as a variety of well-designed amenity spaces, cater to tech-savvy residents who value both style and convenience. From co-working lounges and a fitness center to a dog run for four-legged friends, The Brynn’s offerings make everyday life easier, efficient, and more enjoyable.

But impressive lifestyle spaces aren’t the only way The Brynn delivers on its promise of “boundless living.” Property Manager Nathan Nakaya saw an opportunity to elevate convenience by introducing self-serve amenities that remove daily headaches for residents and staff. With SipWithMe craft coffee machines and PrintWithMe hassle-free printers available on-site, residents no longer need to leave the community for simple tasks, and staff spend less time managing small requests. “We had five residents a day walking into the office asking us to print things. We were basically their free print shop — and it was out of control. PrintWithMe made it easy to set boundaries. We’re no longer the free office printer for the building.”

“We had five residents a day walking into the office asking us to print things. We were basically their free print shop — and it was out of control. PrintWithMe made it easy to set boundaries. We’re no longer the free office printer for the building.”
The Challenge

First impressions are everything, especially for brand-new apartment communities like The Brynn. Residents were quick to enjoy the property’s lifestyle spaces, but Nathan soon realized that their everyday amenities — coffee and printing — were falling short. Instead of adding convenience, these services were creating daily frustrations for both residents and staff:

  • Coffee machines frequently broke down, resulting in repeated service calls, mounting maintenance issues, and an uptick in resident complaints.
  • Even when working, the coffee disappointed. Residents voiced complaints about the taste.
  • Printing created sustainability and workload challenges. High printing usage highlighted the limitations of the old system and the need for a more sustainable solution.
  • Staff lost valuable time to small printing requests.

With so many residents now working from home and placing greater emphasis on reliable, on-site conveniences, Nathan knew The Brynn needed a better way forward to deliver true convenience without adding more work for his team.

The Solution

Nathan needed practical, hassle-free solutions to replace an outdated coffee machine and a high-maintenance printer. SipWithMe and PrintWithMe provided the reliability and convenience he was looking for, delivering several key benefits:

SipWithMe

  • Craft coffee brewed to order and available on-demand within the community.
  • Minimal maintenance and responsive support for a consistently dependable experience.
  • A convenient setup that lets residents enjoy high-quality coffee without leaving the building.

PrintWithMe

  • Accessible printing from any device at any time, all through a secure, cloud-based system.
  • Supplies are automatically replenished and remote support handles any issues without staff intervention.
  • Fully self-service setup that frees staff from constant printing requests and simplifies daily operations.

Together, these self-serve amenities transform everyday tasks into seamless experiences.

The Results

Since adding SipWithMe and PrintWithMe, The Brynn has seen clear resident, staff, and operational benefits:

  • Necessary Convenience for Residents. On-demand craft coffee and self-serve printing let residents enjoy their coffee or tackle work tasks without having to leave the property. “Residents like that they don’t have to go anywhere for coffee,” Nathan shared. “It’s convenient to grab a cup in the middle of a long day or between meetings without leaving the building. Whether it’s the leasing office or the social lounge, they know coffee is always close by.”
  • Lightens Staff Workload. Low-maintenance coffee amenities and automatic printing management free the team from constant troubleshooting and resident requests. Nathan noted, “It’s been a win for both sides. Residents still get access to printing, and our team gets to focus on our actual jobs — not printing boarding passes and résumés.”
  • Dependable, Worry-Free Operation. With automatic supply replenishment and responsive remote support, both amenities stay up and running, letting staff focus on supporting residents. Nathan has been particularly impressed with WithMe’s customer service, saying, “At the end of the day, a lot of it comes down to customer service. Having a team I can rely on makes all the difference. We haven’t had any issues — just consistent, dependable support.”
  • Resident Engagement Touchpoints. Coffee breaks and printing stops spark casual interactions, helping residents connect organically. “We put SipWithMe and PrintWithMe right next to each other,” Nathan said. “It’s funny — you don’t usually think of people chatting by a printer, but when someone’s getting coffee and another is printing, it naturally sparks conversation.”

Why WithMe’s tech-enabled solutions stand out

Boundless living, one cup and one paper at a time.
