How do you guys deal with bad coffee at work?

[amdhunter]

Ugh, they bought 2 huge buckets of Folgers Classic Roast.
Tastes like burnt.

Luckily I drink coffee maybe once a month.

 

[IronWing]

Pee in the can.

If you're in a union you can organize a strike.

Otherwise you quit.

 

[Wyndru]

It's one of the reasons I only drink coffee at home, or bring it in on rare occasion.

I also like certain flavored coffee creamers, I can't use plain milk and sugar.

 

[Linflas]

Bring my own in a thermos.

 

[RPD]

I make it at home.

 

[mizzou]

if its that bad (yes folgers red can coffee is pretty awful) you might be buying coffee for the whole office

You could always swing in and make a pot on your own from a secret stash, but I remember several times just making a new pot, you get there and the whole things been ganked.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, I am going to tell my boss this later.
I'm going to form a union.

I honestly just took some today because I wanted to taste Folgers. Holy damn it's nasty.

I bring my own in. Some of the team rooms here have their own coffee maker (mine doesn't) or you can buy Starbucks at the cafe. I only do that when I really need a change up.

If you want good coffee in the US you should make your own. It's really the only option.

If you have a stove at the office you can bring a small espresso maker and just brew your own at work.

 

[chitwood]

don't drink it

 

[D1gger]

I drink tea, earl grey, hot.

 

[kranky]

Thermos or Keurig.

I'd be terrified I'd drop it and stain my cloth car seats. Starbucks is expensive, although I love their coffee.

I might drink less than a gallon of coffee a year anyway.

 

[Platypus]

Luckily my workplace has great coffee always freely available, but if it didn't I would just go buy some or bring it in from home.

 

[Deeko]

I don't. Our coffee machines grind and brew single Starbucks cups, and its pretty good. Like this:

Back when I worked at an office that didn't have free coffee (and what they sold wasn't great either), I just brewed my own at home and brought it in.

 

[preslove]

Bring my own in a thermos.

Bingo. We have a cafe downstairs that sells refills for $1, so I get that if I don't have time to bring coffee. There's a $3/month coffee club that has horrendous coffee that I refuse to join.

We've had this technology since at least the 50s so why does Starbucks exist?

Winston Wolfe it: lots of cream, lots of sugar.

 

[AstroManLuca]

My office doesn't have coffee. I'd take bad coffee over no coffee (still depends on how bad).

 

[ElFenix]

Winston Wolfe it: lots of cream, lots of sugar.

that scene where they go through the whole 'i know how good my coffee is' is just a setup for this bit right here

awesome

 

[PhoKingGuy]

Brew at home and bring it in a contigo thermos. They...never...leak. I can literally throw mine in the trunk and take it out when I get to campus and itll be fine.

 

[Ns1]

i make coffee every morning and bring it to work.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

I drink it anyway. It's free coffee.
