My quandry. The coffee at work sucks. It's just plain bad. We have one of those "pod" coffeemakers with foul, weak coffee. In order not to offend my new co-workers, I smiled and made a cup each day. The problem is that I go to the gym almost every morning and can't enjoy my enamel-eating strong coffee at the apartment. And I like it strong.
So, I tried the following:
a) Various gas station coffees
b) The French press at work. Disaster.
c) Tea
.... and the lowest of the low ---
d) McDonalds
So, I'm wondering how offensive it would be to buy a 4-cup coffeepot and brew my own. Of course, anyone else can use it as well. The problem is, it's a bit insulting and also there's not a ton of room in the kitchen for a device.
I wouldn't mind frequenting a local cafe, but they don't have drive-thrus and it can get a bit expensive. I would love to support local business by buying yummy coffee at the farmer's market each week. Who knew my caffeine addiction would become so consuming?
And today, I got a bit of a surprise at work. Here you go, Rachel. Five new universities!!!! Knock yourself out! I'm already feeling like a stressball.

It won't be insulting. They'll just think you are a coffee snob.
I moved to the 4th floor by the CEO and now my coffee is goooooooood. Have hope!
Can you keep a small coffee maker on your desk?
I think I might do the small coffee maker on my desk, but then others might want to use it, which is no problem, but a bit inconvenient. Tricky.
The French guy that has an office next to mine has an expresso machine. I think the coffee here is foul, so I don't think he's rude one bit!
