Coffee

Bonjour à tous

Un visiteur me demande si je fourni les dosettes pour la machine à café. 

Quelle est votre position ? Que faites-vous ?

Hello everyone,

A guest is asking me whether I provide pods for the coffee machine.

What is your stance? What do you do?

[Helen3]

Of course if you are providing a coffee machine that uses pods you should provide pods @Mélanie421

Bonjour @Mélanie421 

Tout à fait d'accord avec @Helen3 - je propose des capsules Nespresso, du café instantané, thé, tisanes et les basiques tel que sucre, sel, poivre, huile, capsules pour machine à laver la vaisselle etc.  Sans oublier le fameux papier toilette!

Augmentez légèrement vos prix pour prendre en compte ces dépenses supplémentaires mais je sais que mes voyageurs apprécient énormément de trouver ces petites attentions en arrivant, surtout ceux qui sont là que pour quelques jours.  Ceci se traduira par des bons commentaires.

Bonne journée
Joëlle

Hello @Mélanie421

I completely agree with @Helen3 - I offer Nespresso capsules, instant coffee, tea, herbal teas, and basics like sugar, salt, pepper, oil, dishwasher tablets, etc. And of course, toilet paper!

Please raise your prices slightly to account for these extra expenses, but I know my guests greatly appreciate finding these little touches upon arrival, especially those staying for just a few days. This will translate into positive reviews.

Have a good day, Joëlle

Hi @Mélanie421 😊, 

Welcome to the Community Center!

What are your concerns regarding the offer of pods?

I’m tagging a few hosts who might have additional suggestions to what Joelle and Helen shared: @Guy991, @Andrea6232, @Dave-and-Deb0, @Oksana127, @Frances3408 and @Patricia2526.

Thank you in advance, everyone!

Hi there @Mélanie421 ! ☕️

Yes, I do provide coffee pods — just a few to start with (usually enough for the first couple of mornings). Guests really appreciate that small touch, especially after a long journey when all they want is a cup of coffee before exploring the city.

I see it as part of creating a welcoming experience, like providing basic toiletries or a bottle of water. It doesn’t cost much, but it makes a big difference in guest satisfaction and reviews.

Of course, if you prefer not to include them regularly, you could always mention in your listing that pods are available for purchase nearby shop or that guests should bring their own. The key is to set clear expectations in advance — that way, no one’s disappointed!

@Oksana127 Thank you for your advise! I always leave a couple of pods for a welcoming coffee but it 's good to see that I am not the only one to do it!
