Does better coffee mean a better company?

I don't believe so. I once worked for a startup that offered not only coffee, but allowed beer as well. On the weekends at night, engineers would be having beers and smoking. Productivity was OK, and the owners meant well, but the culture sucked because they hired anyone who could do the job, rather than tailor their workforce. No one clicked. I left a year later to work for a major company.
The same goes for ping-pong.
Besides, it's been years since I walked into an office that didn't have a coffee machine. Coffee is at most a couple hundred dollars of initial investment for a machine plus pennies per day for a decent roast. Free coffee should go without saying.
