does anyone else have something similar in the office? is it worth it?

$1 a coffee can't be that bad...

[Big Phil]

We had one put on our office recently but being out on the road a fair bit, I haven't used it yet...

It is pretty popular by all reports and is great value for money at $1 a pod !!

Our one seems to attract dickheads that stand around it and talk nothing but poo.

We found all Coffee Machines a "Total Waste of $$$"

We got a cheapy dispenser and filled it with 6 different choices.

Coffee, Tea Bags, Sugar, Chocolate, Milo, Soup/Chicken Broth.

Use it as much as you want.

Everyone is happy...

I'm going to be a prick...

Delonghi ESAM5500T (google it) retails at $2199, and we sell them, and have a working unit in the shop (to give customers samples)...

Suppliers provide the coffee beans, all we need to buy is the milk and sugar, and free coffee all day!

Coffee is for breakfast, then it is water until it's time to crack a frothy.

Why would you drink Iced Coffee Light? Serious loss of man points...

[GWW]

Feel Good Iced Coffee is the way to go.

Classic FUIC for me, there are some softer types at work who drink the light stuff...

Try to cater for everyone

Nowhere I've worked has ever had a coffee machine - the hospitals tended to have old percolators that stewed the coffee.
I looked at the new automatic machines for home use, but can't see how they are worth the money being asked.
The pod type limit your choice of coffee brands, and the prices of the ones with built in grinders are really astronomical.
Then I thought about cleaning them periodically..

I've got an old manual La San Marco machine and a separate grinder, but I'm inclined to simply use a filter when I don't settle for Moccona instant.

Mine cost $700. Well worth it. Cleans itself, just need to empty the used coffee, about once a week, and fill it up akin to like filling a kettle. Some fantastic beans out there too....

Easy.

Do, he delegated it to the chairman. I specifically remember him saying so and the chairman was there

What brand and model?
All those I've seen an Harvey Norman have been approaching $3K

[Dirko]

The DeLonghi ESAM03110S - Espresso Fully Automatic Coffee Machine.

Mine is the model before hand but basically the same. It's gold !

Got mine at The Good Guys, when they had a massive sale.
