      I normally only drink my own from home or make my own in the evenings.... I was a bit sleepy today so I just got coffee from the break room.... Now I remember why I make my own. Just how difficult is it to make coffee? It tastes like a rat crawled inside the filter and went hot-tubbing in the coffee grounds. Now ground coffee never tastes as good as fresh or pressed, but how in the world do Engineers mess up coffee THIS bad?? Coffee isn't rocket science! perhaps here it would be better if it were.... :( I guess it is back to diet coke until after hours so I can make my own without it all disappearing.

      Aren't you in the US ? Do they HAVE good coffee over there ? I've not found it and I'm coming close to having spent a year of my life there.

              Back in October I spent 2 weeks in the UK on holidays and was amazed at how poor the coffee was. It was either really weak or extremely bitter. Greatefully, it was a holiday, so I replaced the liquid intake I missed from coffee with another. :)

              We have great coffee in the UK. Or course, it comes from Kenya or Colombia.

                        You're kidding, right ? That's not coffee. Do Starbucks even make coffee that's not full of syrups ? I have vivanos from starbucks now. When I hit the ground in Australia, Sydney or Melbourne, the first thing I do is go to what I have established to be the best cafe in either airport.

                          Well, i heard why they were so fond of beer in the middle ages, and thought, why waste a perfectly good purification method? :)

                            Yeah. They don't advertise it much, but you can always walk in and order a cup - beats most gas station coffee (in price).

                              The only place I ever worked that had an automated machine that claimed to do that produced what everyone who tried a cup reviled as the most horrible coffee they ever had. X|

                                  Yes. You can purchase the beans to for home brewing. Tully's and Seattle's Best is good, imo. Although, you can always go 'old school' and get a big tin of Maxwell House.

                                      Unfortunately they only have someone that only collects the cups (as fast as we can empty them). I'm beginning to suspect that they are under the impression that we might steal the cups or sell the coffee to only they know who, but the coffee is that good I have to admit :-D

                                        Maybe your drinking the coffee leftover after the Thursday night cleaning.
