If you have a medium to large sized workforce and a lot of space you will favour a bottle water dispenser.

Read online reviews for your chosen manufacturer and model. Your decision will depend on firstly, your budget for the machine. Furthermore, you must consider after sale services such as maintenance and warranties the manufacturer is offering. Maintenance services are important for the efficiency of the machine.
