The CEO’s Guide to Recovered Productivity: The 3-Step Workplace Performance Protocol
Most offices are productivity graveyards.
They run on stale beans and burnt water.
This isn't just a kitchen problem. It's a balance sheet problem.
Mediocre coffee is a tax on your team’s output.
I’m David Brummett, Owner of Get Your Fixx™ Coffee & Tea. I’ve spent my life building things. I know that high-performance output requires high-performance fuel.
You wouldn't put low-grade ethanol in a precision engine.
Stop doing it to your workforce.
We’ve developed a system to fix this. It’s called the Workplace Performance Protocol.
It’s not a "perk." It’s infrastructure.
Here is how you recover your team's wasted hours and drive real ROI.
The Hard Math of High Performance
Let’s talk numbers.
Most offices bleed time in tiny cuts.
Coffee runs.
Kitchen chaos.
Bad water.
That bleed has a name.
The Stale Sludge Tax.
It’s not “culture.”
It’s lost output.
In a typical office, it shows up as a 17-minute productivity leak per employee, per day—the wandering, waiting, and reboot time caused by underpowered workplace fuel.
Now anchor it to math.
The Productivity Leak = (Avg Hourly Rate x 0.28 Hours Lost) x 250 Working Days x Total Employees.
Run it on your team size.
Then tell me cheap coffee is “saving money.”
Data also shows a 23% productivity increase when employees have access to high-quality workplace fuel.
Even better? The fiscal return is undeniable.
For every $1 you spend on a proper performance station, you see a $2.71 return in recovered time and increased focus.
The math is simple.
Better fuel equals faster execution.
The 3-Step Workplace Performance Protocol
Success isn't accidental. It’s procedural.
If you want your team to operate at peak capacity, you need a repeatable system.
The 3-Step Protocol ensures the "3 PM Slump" never happens.
Step 1: Coffee (The Ignition Phase)
This is the morning baseline.
You need high-velocity caffeine. But you need it clean.
Most "office coffee" is over-roasted to hide defects. This leads to the jitter-and-crash cycle. It kills momentum by 10:30 AM.
We provide premium single-origin fresh roasted coffee.
✔ Action: Deploy the "Ignition Phase" within the first 90 minutes of the workday.
✔ Why: It triggers the sensory protocol, prepping the brain for deep-work tasks.
Don't settle for the "Forgettable Standard." Build a foundation of reliability.
Step 2: Water (The Hydration Bridge)
Caffeine is a tool.
Water is the lubricant.
This is where most offices fail.
They treat hydration like a nice-to-have.
It’s not.
It’s a Biological Upgrade.
And in a serious workplace—one pushing RTO—it’s a hotel-like luxury amenity that makes coming in feel worth it.
Because 32% of firms are now mandating full-time RTO (WTW, 2025).
If you’re going to require presence, you better fund performance.
Here’s the hard part.
A 3–4% drop in hydration can drive a ~25% drop in performance (alertness/memory) (Popkin et al., 2010; Benton & Young, 2015).
Dehydrated people can also make 2x more errors on cognitive tasks (Wittbrodt & Millard-Stafford, 2018).
High performers don’t call that “wellness.”
They call it an essential wellness feature—because the output depends on it.
For every cup of coffee, your team needs 8 ounces of filtered water. This prevents the "brain fog" often mistaken for a caffeine crash.
Think of this as the cooling system for your high-performance engine.
✔ Action: Place a high-end filtration system directly next to the brewing station.
✔ Why: Accessibility dictates behavior. If they have to hunt for water, they won't drink it.
Step 3: Protein/Booster (The Metabolic Phase)
By 2:00 PM, glucose levels dip.
This is where projects go to die.
The Metabolic Phase introduces clean protein or a botanical beverage boost.
We recommend transitioning to our botanical blends in the afternoon. They provide L-theanine, which smooths out the caffeine curve and sustains focus without sacrificing sleep hygiene later.
✔ Action: Provide clean protein snacks and high-grade loose-leaf botanical options.
✔ Why: It stabilizes blood sugar and extends the "Focus Window" by 2-3 hours.
The Gear: Performance Infrastructure
You cannot execute a protocol with inferior tools.
If your office is using a $20 plastic pot, you’re losing money.
We’ve curated the essential station gear for the modern C-suite and high-output office. This is the hardware that protects your investment in quality beans.
1. Airscape Kilo
Oxygen is the enemy of flavor.
The Airscape Kilo uses a patented plunger lid to remove air from the container.
It keeps your beans as fresh on day 14 as they were on day 1.
Freshness is the ROI.
2. Fellow Atmos Vacuum Canister
For smaller teams or executive offices.
Twist the lid to pull a vacuum.
It prevents oxidation and preserves the volatile oils that provide that "neuro-fuel" spark.
3. Dreo 8-in-1 Frother
Texture matters.
The Dreo 8-in-1 allows your team to create café-quality lattes without leaving the building.
Every minute an employee spends walking to the local coffee shop is a minute of lost billable time.
Bring the café to the desk.

The Personal Performance Kit: The Executive Upgrade
The protocol works for the whole team.
But for the person running the show, the standard isn't enough.
The Personal Performance Kit is our high-tier upgrade.
It’s designed for the executive who values consistency above all else.
It includes:
- Precision-tuned blends.
- High-durability hardware.
- Strategic botanical beverages for late-night strategy sessions.
We built this for the grind.
We built it for people who don't stop.
