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 (this)":http://images.businessweek.com/ss/07/07/0726_globalbrands/image/24_nescafe.jpg 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 :)

I was very much hooked. After a few years I really started to dislike the after taste and a few months later also the taste itself. I switched to black tea.

We own a qt embedded coffee machine here at the munich office. Haven't had the time yet to hack it and mix our own blend :( Coffee taste good anyway. Hmmm..., let's you think it could get some UI refreshments with Qt Quick ;-)

More of a tea drinker. Assam tea with milk (many may not like it that way), and sometimes cold cappuccino for me

If you ask me Assam is only bearable with milk. I am more the Darjeeling type... :-P
