Coffee Jerks

[Blackjack200]

The office provides coffee...

For free

It provides cream

For free

It provides sugar

For free

FFS they even have cups if you can't manage to bring your own. But why is it universal behavior to leave an empty pot on hot burner? Jesus Christ, if you can't muster the effort to throw out the old coffee+filter, put in a new one, and HIT A BUTTON (yes, the machine has a water line), can you at least flip the goddam switch to turn the hot plate off so the pot doesn't get destroyed?

I guess not... like EVER.

AARRRGGGHHHH

You should put a passive aggressive note on the coffee pot too.

I totally remake the coffee at a few sites I frequent. I get paid by the hour

They should make a weight sensitive power cut off. (After the initial brewing)

 

[ch33zw1z]

^^ LoL, good one brainhulk. just flip the damn switch!

 

[NikolaeVarius]

What I do is that I take just enough so that I can get away with not refilling the pot.

Or I skip crappy work coffee and pop caffeine pills instead.

This has to be some kind of universal behavior.

Growing up I remember opening the fridge and always finding a jug or carton of milk with something like 3oz left in it. Nobody wants to be that person responsible for drinking "all" the coffee/milk/whatever. And that behavior is compounded, of course, when you're expected to make more.

This. People in my office love to leave little PA notes around places, especially the community fridge.

But if you drink soda pop instead of coffee? Yeah, FU, buy your own drugs. Coffee assholes, check your privilege.

I feel your pain, OP. We have a bunch of entitled prima donnas who will not make coffee even though it's the same trivially easy setup you have. It literally takes 30 seconds.

I have seen them leave a half-ounce of coffee in the pot and put it back on the burner, so they can imagine they didn't "finish it". I've seen them come in to the break room to get coffee, notice there is only a little left, then walk back out with an empty cup rather than making some. They just go to another break room to try their luck.

I might have 5 cups in a 9 hour day (mostly decaf) and I have to make a new pot about 80% of the time. That's how often people will just let it sit and burn.

I just don't understand what the aversion is.

Love the idea of the weight-sensing burner with auto-off.

Sounds like like my experience. People so fucking lazy they can't bother to take a whole minute (our coffee machine has a water line too) to make coffee, or wash out their dirty ass dishes before putting them in the dishwasher (or just leaving them dirty in the sink), can't take 20 seconds or less and wipe up the counter that has coffee grinds and coffee and sugar and whatever-else one it, etc. Like a bunch of children.

That's something you might find in a $3000 espresso maker, but most people can flip the damned switch. They'd do it if they were at home.

Though a lot of cheap coffee makers have an auto shutoff.

Laziness is a big part of it, but I think the previous poster said it well. A big part of it is that many are prima donnas and think that making coffee is beneath them.

 

[JM Aggie08]

I keep my own French Press and ground in my office for the exact reason.

That, and the coffee here is shit.

 

[momeNt]

They supply all this free shit but don't think to supply a barista?

They are just asking for burnt coffee pots.

People who bring their own french press and grinder for office use are the same kind of people, just on the complete opposite side of the spectrum.

THAT is a brilliant idea!

Instead of a temperature shut-off, a weight shut-off. Burner remains off until weight exceeds 15% of nominal.

You should invent that

I think some rice cookers have that already.
