We have a fancy coffee machine at the office that lets us choose between simple coffee and Cappuccino and caffe latte and Espresso and … well … you name it.

The quality of the pre-configured options however is arguable. People come up with their own mixtures. I for example combine 1 normal caffe latte with sugar with 1 strong espresso without sugar. Sometimes I add milk to the Espresso, depending on my mood.

How do you handle office coffee? Do you stick to tea? Or to sodas like Marius?

We have a very dissapointing coffee machine here, which is sad because last year when I interned here it was a much better machine…

We need an in office starbucks! (That is free).

When in office I handle my coffee by adding only hot water and two spoons of this [images.businessweek.com] instant Nescafe, but in the morning me and other colleagues (including the manager) meet at a cafeteria near our office for the morning coffee round, at this time I prefer pure espresso without sugar.

The Symbian Foundation office in London has Nespresso machines. They make pretty good coffee by office standards.

I usually prefer to buy my coffee. At work we have few proper coffee making machines, but for me coffee needs more than the right equipments and portions, it needs a passionate barista.

We have two fancy machines, that if I listen around me produce pretty good coffee. Not for me though! No coffee, just tea and jugs of water for me. But hey, I don’t drink it at all and I don’t even like the smell of it, so perhaps I should just stay quiet here.

It takes a while to grow into drinking coffee, but once your hooked, your hooked for life …

Not sure I want to be hooked. Why add another addition to my list?

Choose your vices. It could be worse than coffee. ;)

I’ve stopped drinking coffee at home, where i prefer a Chai Latte or just Black Tea. At work there is a really good machine, that makes good Latte Macchiato and i add a extra portion espresso.

Usually I will drink 3 cups of coffee every day! However, I prefer “Greek coffee”, so the quantity is not as much as one might think! ;)

Rooibos, green, black… just tea for me please :) And I am hooked on it.

I like eating coffee beans, but I really don’t like the drink itself :)
