16th Floor Coffee-Marker Initiative: Success!

You're welcome, .

At the Sales Department gift exchange, holdiay party our President informed everyone that starting the following Monday two different types of coffee-makers would be installed on floors 14 and 15. We, as a department, would then have to test both coffee-makers to determine which one we liked more. After a preliminary period, we'll install the winning coffee-maker brand on every floor! That said, I now have free coffee--and that's going in the win column. Here are the two brands of coffee-makers with a brief description:


I don't remember the namebrands of each machine, but I can tell you what they do. The coffee-maker pictured above comes with these little cups with ground coffee inside. You pull open the top of the maker, but in the cup and turn it on. Pretty straight-forward. You can make a regular cup of coffee, or pull a stronger cup of coffee that gives you a more concentrated, smaller cup of coffee. In all, no complaints. Oh, and it also looks like it's from the future.


This machine is a little more complicated. You press the button for which kind of drink you want (i.e.: coffee, cappuccino, or something called "indulgence"). After you make a selection, a door pops out and prompts you to put in a coffee packet with what seems like a liquid substance inside. Then it just makes your coffee and you're set. Also pretty straight-forward, you just have to make a few more decisions. I almost forgot, there are about 10 different types of coffee packets to choose from, vs. 3 different kinds (including decaf) with the other machine.

I think I kind of like the easier, futureistic machine. I just think the coffee tastes better, and I look cooler using it.
