They took our coffee maker away and put one of those Keurig and everyone in my team complained and got real snarky with leadership until we got our old coffee maker back.
As someone who used to take care of office supplies (I was in accounting, btw) because everyone in the office is lazy and doesn’t wanna deal with complex things like grounds and filters.
Interesting. As a consultant I’ve worked in several different offices, but here in Norway I’ve never seen anything but either filter coffe or automated bean to cup machines. The staff in all those places have also been pretty good at maintaining the machines.
Just didn’t really occur to me that this is an issue. The offices I’ve worked in here in Norway, most people just do their part to keep the coffee machines orderly and clean. We had mold once when we forgot to empty the filter before the Christmas holiday, but first person in the office emptied it, cleaned the filter holder, left it in a mix of water and vinegar to kill whatever was left, and a couple of hours later (9 o’clock ish) we were brewing coffee again.
Why are offices using k cups? Sounds both extremely wasteful and expensive.

So wasteful.

Ours orders the bags that are filters. Like big teabags.
