I work at home, so yes :D

Most places where I've worked did supply coffee. One stopped doing so as a cost-cutting measure.

Coffee free. Soda $0.60/can. Why? Because it's a fire hazard for people to bring in thier own coffee makers (which happened when there was a pay machine)

Is it really a fire hazard? According to the fire marshall?

I might be able to use that angle to get free coffee, since some of our more serious coffee drinkers brew their own.

I swear those guys down a pot or two a day!

Heh, we have the free coffee and there's still two people with coffee makers in their cubes. One of them makes better coffee in his, and lets me hit him up for a couple cups a week.

yeah but they have a pay for the coffee fund or put in per cup if you dont drink it regularly.
i do drink it regularly but because im between five buildings every time i try to pay, the secretaries (who buy it) take my money out and send it back to me in the mail so i just stopped even trying.

We also get tea, but they only provide black.

I bring my own green tea.
