Subject: Purchase of a Coffee Maker for the Department - Research and Recommendation

Dear Mr. Wood,

I hope this memo finds you well. In our recent team meeting, we discussed the possibility of purchasing a coffee maker for our department. After conducting thorough research on this matter, I am pleased to present the following findings and recommendations.

Research:
1. Cost Analysis: I have researched various coffee makers available in the market and their corresponding prices. The range of prices for coffee makers suitable for office use is between $50 to $200.
2. Features Comparison: I have reviewed the features of different coffee makers, including brewing capacity, programmability, ease of cleaning, and durability. The top three brands with positive reviews include Brand A, Brand B, and Brand C.
3. User Satisfaction: To gauge user satisfaction, I have consulted online customer reviews and ratings. Brand B received the highest ratings, closely followed by Brand C.
4. Long-term Cost Analysis: In addition to the initial purchase cost, I have analyzed the long-term cost of maintenance, electricity consumption, and replacement parts for each brand. Brand B was found to have the lowest long-term cost.

Recommendation:
Based on my research, I recommend purchasing the coffee maker from Brand B. It has a competitive price, positive user reviews, and low long-term costs. The estimated budget required for this purchase would be approximately $150. Additionally, it is important to consider the department's coffee consumption and opt for a coffee maker with a larger brewing capacity to cater to our team's needs efficiently.

In conclusion, investing in a coffee maker for our department would significantly enhance productivity and provide an enjoyable working environment. I kindly request your approval to proceed with this purchase. Thank you for considering my recommendation.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you require any further information or clarification.

Sincerely,

Xin Haiying
