Do you get the teas in?

I never did, and no-one made me one.

I couldn't stand the much they drank *mellow birds, value tea bags...*
They couldn't work out what I drank *fresh ground coffee through an aeropress, loose leaf tea*

I did get one of them to defect to my coffee though. :D
 
I make teas for the office, but normally once or twice a week, some of the other engineers make 3/4 cups a day for the team.
 
Nah, we've got a guy in the office who is pretty useless so he makes the tea in return for us doing most of the work!
 
I usually drink water in the office. Don't mind a tea but not bothered enough to make it.

Used to get offered a tea by my immediate colleagues but they don't any more as I don't make them teas.
 
The kitchen is in the back of our office so these days we just get up in a small group to get off the phones and away from the PC for a few mins and a quick chat so no need to make others.

When we were further away from the kitchen if we got up for a brew we'd do the run for the 10 or so staff we had and it was pretty much all equal.

A man after my own cuppa. Aeropress is the way forward.:D

I use Lavazza in mine and carry a flask of hot water if not near a kettle. Now everyone wants me to make them coffee.... and I do... but they have to do their own milk and sugar.:D
 
Just checked that out on Le Toob. Looks pretty cool. Does the process of forcing the water through the coffee make it taste different to the more traditional cafetieres? I don't need a big discussion to take the convo off topic, but would like to know if its more of a preference thing in your experience =]
 
I get them in every Friday at work, its the rules. Pool loser gets them on a Thursday, I suck at pool so always get them on a Friday. I also supply biscuits 3 days a week :p

*edit* For home enjoyment I have enough tea to last for a long time

Makes coffee like any good coffee shop machine does.. except in theirs the boiling water has pump pressure pushing it through coffee in the little cap that runs into the cup.. Some users steep (let coffee soak) for a minute or 2 before pressing but I prefer it pressed straight off. I also prefer water at 94-95c as you won't get as much bitter taste with cooler water. I use one level scoop of coffee very fine grind. Sometimes a well rounded scoop first thing in the morning. Drop me a note if you want more info

Will do mate thanks =]
 
I don't drink it myself so I don't see why I should be involved in the "rounds".

I do it sometimes anyway though because I know that it shows a bit of good will around the office.

That's what gets me, good will?
Same goes for people who expect it and people who get snarky when you don't, what's wrong with them to think either of these things?

It's a simple thing, when you try and expound on it people don't care, they only care when it suits them, aka.. getting served.

That and everyone always has something to say when you don't make it the way they like it, we're not here to fancy to your tea/coffee needs. Especially when I did work in an office of 14-16 IN THE SAME room + guests. Ugh.

Almost everywhere does it, it's an office/work practice that goes back for ages, it just surprises me when people react to when people don't do it.
Like it's a big issue.
 
Problem is most people don't have a clue how to make coffee ioor make some kind of putridly vile "tea" concoction with sugar and milk. Fine, you don't know how to make an espresso but how hard an it be to add 1 bag of Twinnings Earl Grey to a cup of hot water?
