Closest I've come to no office coffee at a tech company is one that just had a Keurig machine and the very cheapest K-cups they could find. The only ones that even had a flavor were the ones labeled "dark roast", and that flavor was very bad. I'm pretty sure an electric kettle and a jar of instant coffee would have given better results. That place had 500 people and was growing fast. Nowhere near SV, though.
- olliej 4y agoI guess clean up for those is easier? traditional drip coffee and shelf stable creamer was the norm when I started. Big tech is not all "free" and perks, and it depends dramatically on company or even just the division. There's the the big one of Google, with all its free food, etc but the other big tech don't do that - they have accumulated some free snacks and sodas, etc in recent years but they still basically charge for all food from the cafeterias. The free food at Google or startup-land isn't a huge selling point in practice - it simply is not worth much relative to the salary/wage comp.
