Starbucks in the Office!
Last Thursday, I was treated to the pleasant aroma of freshly brewed coffee while walking up the stairs to my office. And I realized, while I was in Chicago, the Starbuck’s machines had been installed in my building. Happy, happy day!
With the click of four buttons and about a minute, beans are ground, brewed and the resulting liquid poured into a cup. The machine also makes fairly decent cocoa and of course, produces hot water. The coffee is a huge improvement over the liquuid produced by the previously supplied industrial coffee pots (which I made the mistake of drinking exactly twice).
When my office door is open, between the melodic waterfall sounds of flushing toilets in the men’s restroom, I hear the gentle clicks of the Starbuck’s coffee machines and the caffeinated chatter of happy colleagues.
