Why does the coffee machine in my office insist on excreting half an inch of froth on the top of my coffee? What are they trying to hide from me? Are they that embarassed by their coffee that it needs a smokescreen?

If I wanted froth I'd push the 'Cappuccino' button.

And 'skimmed milk powder' isn't [i]real[/i] milk so stop trying to convince me that it is.

I wish I could remember to bring in my own jar of coffee.

Coffee from a machine or instant?

It's like being given the choice between ebola or bubonic plague.

Proper coffee has a crema on the top. Perhaps the maching has the internals of a Gaggia and you are drinking better coffee than you think?

Even black coffee?

Ah, they're trying to make us think we're drinking 'proper' coffee.

That ruse might work better if they made it taste more like proper coffee rather than just looked like it.

I'd rather drink from a puddle at the side of the road rather than anything from a vending machine!

joao3v16 you must have the same machine as our place, all coffee comes with 1/2" of gunky froth that looks like river scum & tastes like burnt wood.

Instant every time. At least you get fresh milk.

We've got a "Klix" vending machine, the one saving grace of it is that it's free but even that doesn't persuade me to drink any of the dark brown liquid that it secretes under the guise of "coffee".

I have my own cafetiere and a tin of proper coffee thank you.
