I second or third or whatever the coffee mug. That is something I always need at my desk. Get everyone a coffee mug, and then get a Keurig machine in the shared area. It's not that cheap, but you only need one. I'm sure your boss can ok it.
my mom got one of those last year and i still havent had a good cup of coffee out of it...ive had some that werent bad, but they all seemed "off" at the very least :-/
