Does your work provide free coffee?

For the longest time, the only thing we got was hot water. Last week we got a fancy keurig machine, and now everything is free. Offering free tea/coffee to your employees is a nice bonus.

Just wondering if your work offers this? Seems rare these days.
 
It's only rare if you work for a shitty company. My company offers free coffee (fresh beans from a locally sourced roasting company plus a $18k machine that let's you make lattes, steamed milk, espresso shots, cappuccinos, etc. I actually liked the older machines better (cheaper, $13k). The new machine has a million options but the coffee it makes is not that great.
 
Yes, we get free coffee (four different blends), hot tea (various types), hot chocolate and cold water from a water cooler.
 
coffee and a free drink vending machine of varying quality (idk what the deal is with whoever fills it up... sometimes we have a great selection with stuff like vitamin water and snapple, but lately it's just rows and rows of coke, pepsi, sprite, and their diet equivalents. sucks for someone like me who doesn't drink carbonated beverages)
 
yep, shitty folgers and shitty cream/sugar from one of those oldschool shitty coffee burners.

Silicon Valley companies spoil you - if only we had chefs to prepare our meals like Google!

I also can prepare hundreds of recipes, none of them well.

But at least the machine is cheaper than me.

Disagree. A lot of companies don't offer free coffee, and not just shity ones.

I must be the only person on the planet who fvcking HATES Keurig machines. I have yet to drink coffee from one that didn't taste literally, absolutely, genuinely liked it was made by running dirty water through the ass scrapings of a gorilla.

The only way I can drink Keurig is by using 2-3 k-cups for 1 serving.

I've been trying to think of a concise way to describe the flavor of coffee from those machines.

Thanks, you've got it just right.
 
Free coffee,filtered water and ice. With the 450 people in my building,that can't be cheap.

It's Not great but it's better than paying into a coffee fund
 
if I remember right, the last place I worked had some kind of "coffee club" where a bunch of people pooled money to buy a coffee pot and keep coffee stocked for themselves.

I couldn't be assed with it... I'd just as soon take a break to run to the Dunkin Donuts across the street.
 
nope, theres a coffee maker, but im rarely in the office and dont use it. i either make some at home or get some on the road

What kind of gig?

Production Artist at a big financial data company. I work in the office attached to the data center, which happens to be in the middle of nowhere... having food on-site is a necessity unless they want people to take 1-hour lunches. 😀
 
Free coffee.. yes. Shitty coffee... yes. The term around the office for said coffee is "mud" if that makes it any clearer. Therefore I make my own every morning.

We do have free tea, hot chocolate, water, etc. though. Sometimes I have to do that if I'm rushing out the door in the morning.
 
Yes. We have an automatic espresso machine on each floor, then free drip in the cafe. And yes, I drink way too much of it.

Yes, I provide free coffee and tea for my employees. Every once in a while I will also spring for a couple of dozen Tim Horton doughnuts.

Thanks for the reminder. Going to do that tomorrow. I just wish there was a better doughnut place around. :hmm:
