I'm so glad I don't drink coffee from vending machines!

[Minerva]

LOL what a story!

We had a coffee machine installed at the club house back in November. People have been complaining how horrible the coffee and cocoa has been tasting from the machine. The vendor came in, cleaned, etc. and nothing seemed to help.

The mystery was finally solved when it was noticed pink water was being dispensed as hot water. :shocked:

Well it turns out the machine required a hot water line. The installer found one alright, problem was it was tapped off the closed loop of the BOILER! :shocked:

There's water treatment added to that (mainly oxygen scavengers and corrosion inhibitors hence the pink color) so no wonder it tasted like sh!t! :laugh: OMG that's horrible. That is like making a cup of coffee or hot chocolate with water taken from a car radiator. (minus the glycol obviously)

We got to talking about this because they used to put chromates in the water and if that was the case it would've been like a chapter in a horror movie. :shocked:

I still can't get over this. And we were joking about the coffee for the longest time too! :Q

I can relate. Our coffee tasted like crap for the longest time, we kept complaining and all they did was switch brands. Then they realized the water filter under the sink had not been replaced for several years. When they popped the lid off the water cooler that ran off that line, it had a thick dark green sludge around the inside. Yum!

I bought myself an espresso maker for home. Takes a few minutes to make 4 shots, throw it in a travel mug with half&half, vanilla syrup, and caramel - and I'm good for the morning. A few times I made a full pot of Maxwell House and brought it in a thermos, but that is kind of overkill for me.

They took out all the regular coffee machines at work a couple of years ago and brought in ones that make coffee from instant, I think Folgers. I can't stand the stuff. It tastes like coffee flavored chalk.

I don't know why anybody drinks thet brown water out of machine. I don't care if you run spring water from source, it'll still taste like crap. Just buy one of those Bodum coffee presses and enjoy a real cup of coffee. Heck, I buy Starbucks grounds, and it still come out cheaper then machine crap.
