A tent full of tasting staff and students on the O&O Plein. At the beginning of April the UT community once again had the opportunity to taste, sample and subsequently vote. The votes are in, the definitive contract has been sent: Douwe Egberts will supply us with hot beverages in the years to come.
This seems unimportant amidst all the education and research-related news that is published by our institute. At the same time, coffee, tea or hot chocolate (and all other beverages supplied by these machines) are the driving force of many during a day full of work or classes. Besides: everyone to his taste. In order to provide as many people as possible with a beverage that matches their tastes, the deciding factor in this tender were all the different flavours.
And all the staff and students won't even have to wait very long to enjoy their drink, as the machines become operational on 1 July. In the coming weeks we will be hard at work to replace all the machines in this short time span and determine the final details.
