There are a couple of things I dislike about my job. One is Internal Audit, the other is this coffee machine.
This coffee machine is my office nemesis. It serves the worst coffee imaginable - too strong, foul tasting, with little bits of undissolved instant coffee around the top of the too small plastic cup. There are plenty of choices, including a cappuccino, but they're all disgusting. How, exactly, do you make a decent cappuccino for 27p in four seconds in a machine in an IT department in a financial organisation on the edge of a motorway? I can hear the whole of Italy mocking me now.
The only good thing about it, and this is really a negative too, is that its unfailingly volcanically hot.

We suffer from exactly the same thing. A group of us have sorted out our own "coffee club" (we don't call ourselves that, needless to say) - we have a cafetiere and a casual rota for buying coffee.
Talk about quality control.
The other week, after not drinking the horrible machine coffee for 2 years, I had some. It was gross. We have Kenco machines and the only thing that's vaguely palatable is an espresso with two creams. Oh, and the cream & milk - they come in horrible plastic tubes called 'Stix'. Uggh!
