when I worked for Amazon.com in their Hardlines dept I had a coffee maker at my desk. It made about 4 cups per pot. 5 feet away from my desk was the Culligan water dispenser. Each of us had our own personal can of coffee grounds and filters. That coffee maker never got turned off. The rule was, if you empty it-make the next batch. Yer standing riiiiight threre. Our lil section of the office was quite popular with the rest of the staff.

And I was never without a cup of coffee. ;-)
