We have a coffee machine in the offices we rent. These are serviced offices and the coffee machine is provided as part of the rental package – albeit a part that is charged at $20 a month per person whether you use it or not ((this is real nickel and dime stuff as the office rental is like thousands a month but the cheap buggers insist on charging $20 extra for tea and coffee)).
We have had a number of coffee machines through here and numerous breakdowns over the 18 months we have been here. I fondly recall the coffee machine mechanic who was here a year ago fixing the then machine. His comment was “I don’t know why you guys bother with this machine when an electric jug and a jar of Nescafe is more efficient, quick, hot and doesn’t breakdown every 5 minutes!”
The one thing about these coffee machines is that they appear to have been manufactured by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation ((with apologies to Douglas Adams and the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius_Cybernetics_Corporation#Sirius_Cybernetics_Corporation)) in that they produce something that tastes almost like a cup of coffee. My solution? Take one mug, press the button for flat white. When that is finished, press the button for Ristretto ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ristretto)). After that, top up with hot water. Almost a nice cup of coffee.
Sigh, where’s the tea bag?

I don't know if you should ask a question like, "Where's the tea bag?" on the internet. The potential for intentional misinterpretation is very great, and it may not end well for you. Perhaps you should hold a meeting about the coffee situation and put a few solutions to a vote.

Sigh – a decent coffee and all tea bags could live in eternal peace 😆
