Coffe / Tea Machines.....

**Jamagei** · May 11th, 2001, 09:32 AM

Have you ever found a Tea machine (you now like Klix where you pay for a cup of tea) that actually produces nice tea?

The one we have here at work was quite nice. Nothing like real tea, but better than most. Then the enginneers came to 'Fix' it. Now it tastes like **** and it keeps forgetting to put my bloody sugar in.

any way, whine over.

... Back to work ...

Cor lucky you. I have to pay 12p for a (small) cup of Tea. And it's a **** cup of Tea. I am gonna petition for my own kettle...

Most tea out of a vending machine does taste like boiled dish water.

However, we've got a couple of different machines around the building. There's one that makes a great cup of hot chocolate, but tastes awful out of the others. But the same machine makes everything else taste like *****e, were as the others are fine.

The best machine we've got, which was brought in for a trial was a Flaviva machine. You get little sachets that drop into the door then it fillters through. That was the best tea, you can get all kinds...Earl Grey, Traditional, Breakfast tea etc... The coffee from there was the best I've ever tasted, must be the way it filters through?

They've kept it, but only vip's are allowed to use it

At least we don't have to pay for it

, but no doubt that will change in the near future, they're trying their best to save money

when I was up at microsoft for a seminar they had those Flaviva machines, bloody nice cuppa

In our project room we have a kettle, big box of tetley's, jar gold blend( when the **** hit's the fan) and a small fridge

We have 2 kettles (one always appears in our server room everytime the power goes out

), and a LARGE fridge

It most certainly will be, but I think I will have to be a girlie and have something like a barcardi breazer, nice and refreshing and quite strong

**Jamagei** · May 11th, 2001, 10:55 AM

Oh yeah. With a nice Cold Pint glistening with moisture.....

Hmm, not a fan of Bacardi Breezers.... almost as girlie as Metz. Almost. Smirnoff Ice is okay though... for some reason.. not quite sure why but it is.

**barrk** · May 11th, 2001, 05:30 PM

I haven't tried the Smirnoff Ice yet....not a big fan of vodka.

Hey l am not take you to a Pub here in Oz with you ordering that sort of thing. LA Dave friggin ordered a Wine Cooler the first night we took him out. You could see everyone in the bar immediatly thinking "Pooftah!". Mind you we got a table pretty quickly when l inquiried rather loudly "How did your aids test go, positive or negative".

In OZ blokes drink large glasses of ice cold beer, and leave the frilly drinks to the sheilas.

As a "sheila" I defend my right to enjoy fruity rum drinks...more the better!

Sheilas are allowed to enjoy them under Aussie social norms.
