    Real Coffee at work....

    ...is nice.

    No...its bloody lovely.

    Now it IS from a machine. But WHAT a machine Jiff and Moby kept telling me of the wonders of nice stuff, but hell....even I didn't understand. I now suffer from what Jiff suffers...I dont much like jar's of coffee.

    GOOD Coffee is great.

    I have about 6 varients of fresh ground coffee ranging from Columbian to Alta Rica and each one is uniquely different and leaves you wanting more

    Shame work doesn't have a fresh coffee machine or I'll be sat here now with a quick columbian coffee

    My old work had a proper espresso machine - great coffee and a reasonable excuse for a 10-minute break!

    Ah, but if work provide it, you don't have to pay for it!

    Thankfully, I purchase my own coffee, bring it into work, use a very nice Krups coffee machine provided by the company and get to claim back the coffee I buy under "refreshments"!

    When i started here 5months ago all the coffee was instant - then couple months ago i noticed a coffee filter machine thingy ontop of a capboard, when i asked does it work no1 knew, it had always jsut been there.

    Got it down, cleaned it loads, brought some coffee in and now few of us chip in for good coffee every week problem is its really nice and doesnt come out scolding hot so you can drink it like water and you want to! TOOO MUCHHH CAFFINEEEE!!!

    I used to drink loads of instant coffee until I discovered the real stuff a few years ago - making it in a cafetiere thingy is a pain, but percolated coffee is quick & very tasty.

    At work we have machine coffee on every floor (which are "okay"), but one floor up from our department is the cafe where all the drinks are free, the latte macchiatos are fantastic
