I do notice, though, that people don't refill the soda when they take the last cold can. I'm constantly filling it back up because I don't want to drink warm soda! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791279 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:21:04 +0000 regberadaisy 791279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: at my old office we "knew" who were the ones that never refilled a pot!!! Things like that irked me and I sent many of office wide emails... :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791258 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:16:35 +0000 dagret 791258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a k cup machine, but the water source is one of those big water cooler jugs...when it needs to be swapped out it makes a horrendous noise. I don't even drink coffee in the office and find myself replacing the water at least every 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791201 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:01:26 +0000 HabesBabe 791201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a Flavia machine, so everyone made their own cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791184 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:58:10 +0000 mrskc 791184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: LOL! my work has a little plastic storage bin with drawers. Everyone has a drawer that they put their personal stuff in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791141 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:49:40 +0000 Modern Daisy 791141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I know, they are super cheap! Every other place I've worked has at least provided cups so you can pour yourself water. I think at a minimum companies should give free coffee, filtered water and even feminine supplies. There's nothing worse than trying to hide a tampon up your sleeve on the way to the bathroom or carrying a purse and being stopped by 3 coworkers asking why you are carrying your purse or what is up your sleeve. Just give us free tampons dammit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791107 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:42:04 +0000 swurlygurl 791107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: That is SO sad. I can't believe they don't provide anything... so lame!</p> <p>@looch: NICE! DH has one in his office, but they don't provide the cups, so he bought a re-useable one and puts Folgers in it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791100 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:40:22 +0000 Caly 791100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, fancy schmancy!</p> <p>Thankfully, we have a Keurig &amp; work supplies all the coffee, creamer, etc. We can also request different kinds, etc. When we did have a pot, thankfully, my office was good about brewing another pot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791070 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:33:50 +0000 Modern Daisy 791070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, your work sounds really fancy! My company doesn't provide anything for us at all, not even cups or napkins. I learned that the hard way on my first day here. I don't carry cash so I wasn't able to buy water from the machine and there were no cups in the pantry so I couldn't pour myself some water either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791064 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:31:51 +0000 looch 791064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: all provided. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791039 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:25:04 +0000 mamimami 791039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Different roasts? YOU FANCY!! LOL. We don't have coffee issues since we have a big urn and not that many people, but don't get me started about refilling the water cooler. I can't believe people didn't die of thirst while I was on maternity leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791019 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:19:53 +0000 Anagram 791019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Keurig, and you have to supply your own coffee. LOL. Public education!</p> <p>At my old school, there was a coffee fund you paid into each semester ($10 maybe) and you could drink the coffee in the teacher's lounge. But yeah, only the school secretary would refill it, which would piss me off when teachers would finish it and walk away, so then I started refilling every day. It's sheer laziness for people to finish it and not start a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791005 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:16:27 +0000 DillonLion 791005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have like those huge canisters and no one refills them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791002 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:15:13 +0000 swurlygurl 791002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I would loooove a Keurig here! I don't think our office would buy all those pods though - we'd go through a ton/day! Do they provide them for you, or do you have to provide your own?</p> <p>@mrskc: Yes, we are a bit spoiled with our coffee. We drink Folgers at home, so Saturday and Sunday mornings suck when I have to go back to that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-791001 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:15:11 +0000 Boheme 791001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, and it makes me crazy! If I finish a pot, I start a new one unless its late afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-790982 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:10:32 +0000 MrsBrewer 790982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: We have Folgers here too :-( yuck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-790963 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:04:26 +0000 looch 790963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got a Kuerig in one office and in the other, the coffee is prebrewed and maintained by the cafeteria services. So much easier than single pots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-790958 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:03:12 +0000 illumina 790958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never worked anywhere with a coffee machine, but what really bugs me is when people join the tea/coffee round, as in will let you make drinks for them and then never ever return the favour. You can tell a lot about a person from the drinks etiquette... so rude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-790938 Fri, 17 May 2013 10:59:45 +0000 mrskc 790938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! Your coffee sounds much better than our cheap folgers that they buy us. </p> <p>No, people don't follow proper coffee etiquette at my work. People will just leave a little bit at the bottom of the pot and I guess since there's a little left, they don't need to make more. Or I guess they think the secretary should be refilling it. But the secretary hates doing it and purposely brews it super strong. So the next person ends up dumping it all out and makes a new pot. Yeah, we have mature people working in my office. I don't even hardly drink our nasty coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-manners-in-the-office#post-790919 Fri, 17 May 2013 10:53:40 +0000 swurlygurl 790919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do people in your office follow proper coffee etiquette and make a new pot of coffee when they empty one? </p> <p>I moved to a new floor in my office and they are awful about it! We have bold, medium and light pots of coffee (we use local beans). I drink bold, and pretty much every time I go in there bold is gone, and sometimes medium is gone too! It only takes 10 seconds to get a new pot of coffee going! You don't even have to scoop anything, you push a button and a dispenser grinds beans for you... drives me crazy! </p>
