Work coffee =/= Starbucks....

Sad I just recently started drinking coffee again.  I've been drinking the instant Colombian Starbucks or whatever it is.  I filled up my thermos thingy this morning and drank it all.  I figured, what the hell, I'll just fill it back up with work coffee.  Blech.  It tastes disgusting.  It tastes like coffee flavored water.  Woe is me!!

Re: Work coffee =/= Starbucks....

  • I've heard our office coffee is horrible but I haven't been brave enough to try it and confirm.

    I'm not a big coffee drinker but when I do crave some....I always to go Starbucks, it's just so yummy!

  • Coffee sounds amazing right now...

  • I hate coffee, I can't stand the taste!

  • I used to hate coffee until my grandmother showed me how to make it with a ton of sugar and a ton of cream.  I drank it that way forever.  Now I've gotten to where I drink it almost black.  I put just a little bit of sugar in it and I'm good to go!

  • I drink sugar and cream with alittle bit of coffee, lol

    Our work coffee is too bitter for me, I always bring from home or hit up Dunkin.  I like Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha, but thats more a treat/dessert than coffee to me.  

    My favorite coffee that I use at home is Eight O Clock brand

  • I adore coffee. Matt and I still can't get over how quickly we go through it now that we live together. Our favorite is Seattle's Best, but our cheap favorite is Folger's. We're loving Folger's French Roast right now.

    We take it straight up. Wink

    Work coffee kinda sucks, though, and I do put creamer in that.

  • Two big travel mugs of coffee later and I'm about to pee myself.  Stupid floorplan designers for only putting one stall in the women's bathroom.  I'm about to have to go hunt out a new bathroom because that woman has been in there a while, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to go in there now.

    We have one women's bathroom in our whole building. I hate how this place is set up, its really a warehouse that they built offices into one end of.

    What really irritates me is that there is a men's room right next door that is the same size.  I asked one of my buddies one day how many stalls they have in there... they have THREE.  Seriously?  You give the guys three stalls, but the women only one?

  • I LOVE the smell of coffee, but I have never  been able to drink it.  I don't like the taste/aftertaste.  Give me unsweetened tea any day!

    That is dumb.

    I used to work at a Boy Scout camp. It was amazing for a lot of reasons, but one unexpected perk was restroom accessibility. During mandatory staff meetings or end-of-year banquets, there would be a big long line for the men's room and I would walk right into the ladies'.

    I use to hate it also till I got to college and learned to load it up with sugar and creamer (preferably flavored creamer). I, too, have cream and sugar with a little bit of coffee.

     

    Now I am craving another pumpkin spice latte...

    MissGeorgia, have you seen this recipe for homemade ones? It really does taste pretty much like the real thing! I've made it in the crockpot and also in a pot on the stove when I want it faster. It's amazing either way.

    Thats so dumb. There are two single men's bathrooms here. One is out in the warehouse for the field guys to use when they come in. The women don't dare use that one....

  • Well, the whole logic behind the one stall thing is that when the building was designed, they were still in the mindset that there wouldn't be a lot of women engineers, so they didn't need more than one stall.  I know who the guy was that approved the layout and he's a REALLY old man who probably still thinks like this is the 50s and that women don't belong in the workplace.

  • hahahaha, Stu - yes, if we just stayed home where we belong - barefoot and pregnant and taking care of the menfolk when they got home from a long, tough day - there really would be no need for extra ladies rooms in the workplace. Duh. Except for the secretaries.

    I LOVE coffee. I didn't have any for a few weeks but now I'm back on 1 cup a day - thank God. I missed it. Decaf just isn't the same.  I did have a really delicious medium Hazelnut from D&D today - tasted great but it didn't help me wake up at all....since this one was decaf.  ::sigh::

    My MIL does the same thing to mine. I put 1 1/2 cups of sugar in if I'm making 2qts.
