I've worked from home for 20 years. Is office coffee still as horrible as it was? I thought startups all upgraded to $20,000 Clover brewing systems or something

  Boeing coffee was MIL SPEC.

    Roasted to a standard in the cold war. MRE Jalapeno Cheese as snack!

  A bunch of them did, but they don't all maintain them to exacting standards over the long haul. If you want decent coffee out of one of those fancy grind-and-brew-in-place automatic espresso machines, they need to be deep-cleaned on a regular basis, and someone needs to be actively stocking good, fresh coffee beans...

  My office now has an automated machine. I’d give it a 4/10. Not great but much better than the 1/10 from the old drip machine (and the occasional 0/10 when someone brewed with a double quantity in a misguided effort to coax a more pleasant flavor from those burnt beans).
