Do you miss the short breaks with your colleagues around the coffee machine? Working from home makes it almost impossible to have the little social moments we're used to in the office. To continue to enjoy these informal conversations and stay close to your colleagues, you can opt for virtual coffee breaks. Here are some ideas for cosy and stimulating moments over a (virtual) coffee with your colleagues or even your friends.
Virtual coffee breaks are meetings held using a video app or software like Zoom, Skype, or Google Hangouts. These calls can last anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, allowing you to chat with your favorite colleagues about topics other than work and stay "close" to them if you don't end up in the office. These virtual coffee breaks aren't professional, but they can have a positive impact on your productivity or that of your business. They help maintain team spirit, encourage the exchange of ideas, and help your colleagues feel less isolated while working from home.

If you're the organizer, feel free to start the conversation as soon as the call starts. Listen to what your colleagues and friends have to say and don't be afraid to add to the conversation if necessary. Enjoy the company of your colleagues while sipping your favorite L'OR drink. Don't forget to discuss the next coffee break to organize in order to maintain everyone's team spirit during these teleworking moments.
Looking for ideas on what you can do during your virtual coffee break? When everyone on a team is working remotely, it's important to plan activities that will strengthen or maintain bonds. L'OR offers you ideas to inspire you and so that you can make the most of this moment of relaxation with your colleagues.
Do you dare to try a game of Coffee Roulette with your colleagues? Coffee Roulette consists of bringing together random colleagues around regular virtual coffee breaks, regardless of their position in the company. It's a great way to improve trust, relationships, and overall well-being within the company.
If you're the organizer, try to keep the conversation going in a natural way. Think of talking points for each virtual get-together with your friends or colleagues, so everyone can chat and relax.
Wondering what's the best coffee to drink during your virtual coffee break? We recommend choosing the type of coffee and its caffeine content depending on the time you take your break. For virtual morning coffee breaks, you can take a Ristretto one espresso or a lungo to replenish your energy. If you take these breaks in the afternoon, opt for a flat white, cappuccino or latte. That's not to say you can't help yourself to espresso or lungo in the late afternoon! It all depends on the type of coffee you prefer. Need some inspiration?
