Coffee engineering

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?

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?[/quote]
Choose your vices. It could be worse than coffee. ;)

Just a strong black tea. Lots of it.

At INdT I gave up coffe... Now I drink my own and addictive <a href="http://www.matteleao.com.br/">tea</a> =)

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! ;)

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.
