I'm based in the UK, and corporate coffee service (I assume you mean coffee delivery to their premises) isn't really popular here. People either make their own coffee at work or go out to a coffee shop to get out of the office. We did have a couple of those companies set up an account for their staff to use, for when they wanted to work out of the office, and we also sold bags of beans/ground coffee which a lot of the local businesses bought for in-house use.

In the US, a company/office will often contract a service to provide any or all of: coffee, tea, brewers/water heaters, pots/carafes, cream & sugar, water filtration, and vending machines.

It is often very bad coffee, usually pre-portioned and boxed by the gross. It tends to be purchased for cost and convenience rather than for flavor.

Some of us revolt form the corporate coffee overlords and form coffee clubs. We get wholesale deals from local roasters and buy in increments of 5# or more, and reap substantial discounts while enjoying better coffee.

If I built a business in your coffee shop, and you closed your space but remained in the trade, I'd give you first crack at my coffee needs. If I call it an obsession can I continue to deny that there might be an addiction?
