…look into it 😉 You guys think YOU have it bad…I work in an office/factory where we get “machine coffee”. Yep- 35cents a shot, complete with a “poker hand” on the cup (hole card on the bottom). This shit will rot your stomach out so quick it’ll make your head spin. I think they should dispense Prilosec stomach pills right in the brew. Evil, vile stuff. I strongly suspect the machine is somehow hooked up to the toilet plumbing, but I’m not sure how yet. Needless to say, I bring my thermos in with home brewed good stuff. Zette ---

Zette, it’s funny that this topic came up now, because I haven’t had coffe at work for months until yesterday. That post was written just after my first cup yesterday… I guess you’re right, hell I don’t even usually come into the pit… re: Your post: And if anyone knows about toilet plumbing…it’s Zette! 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-cant-make-coffee-you-are-too-stupid-to-work-here/30818.md?page=1)
