On the tragic state of coffee in the office

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.

I’m SUCH a coffee addict it’s not even funny. I actually quit smoking and drinking alcohol cold turkey & turned to coffee to help curb the cravings. Needless to say i ended up addicted to coffee… lol It’s the lesser of the evils though, so i don’t feel too bad about it.

At any rate, I just wanted to say that I would probably be at that coffee machine more than you are. We might even end up racing to it each day at break just to see who can get to it first. lol
