Employees at Google’s London office can choose from 19 different types of coffee in their workplace, reports Pocket-Lint.

Technology writer Stuart Miles explained that when one of the 350 staff at the search engine’s Victoria-based facility fancy a hot drink, they can go to an area called L4 that features a coffee lab.

Among the options that users can pop in the coffee machine are five products that were specifically designed for Google.

The company’s passion for coffee does not stop at what its employees drink either, with the worktops in L4 made of coffee beans set in resin.

Mr Miles revealed that Google’s offices also feature a cinema, an indoor park, a games room and a music rehearsal space; highlighting the creativity that the firm wants to encourage there.

“To inspire and allow you to note that idea down at anytime, most of the walls are white boards ready to be jotted on, while meeting rooms are more akin to nooks and dens rather than somewhere where you all huddle around a speakerphone for long, boring conference calls,” he added.

Mail Online explained that L4 was only recently opened after being converted from an engineering floor and features angular rooms that look like something out of a science fiction movie.

The news provider pointed out that what makes the coffee options at the Google office even more attractive is that they are all free to employees.
