Excellent coffee. Excellent service. Since 1972.

It was back in 1972 that Hal Steuber and his wife Diane started Associated Services, one of the pioneers in office coffee service. Hal handled the purchasing, installations and deliveries using an old beige station wagon. Diane helped with customer service and accounts receivable. Their children, Tom and April, pitched in on weekends and summer vacation, packing coffee, getting deliveries ready, and taking care of just about anything that needed doing.

Now, almost 40 years later, it's still a family run business, though we've grown to five offices that stretch from Sacramento to Carmel and a bottling plant for our Alta line of Spring and Purified Water. Along the way we were awarded the Silver Service Industry Award for Best Office Coffee Service in the United States—twice! We were named the exclusive Northern California office coffee service supplier for Starbucks, and we introduced Flavia, Peet's, and Tully's office coffee service to the Greater Bay Area.

A lot has changed in the world of coffee since we began, but one thing hasn't changed—our commitment to our customers. Just as Hal and Diane in 1972, we're committed to bringing you the best quality beverages at a competitive price with outstanding customer service. And we intend on doing it for at least another 40 years!
