Coffee.

Now before you get upset, my company spends thousands of dollars a month on shitty coffee beans, rented coffee machines, and a monthly cleaning service for those machines. They purchase Peet's coffee which is expensive but tastes like brewed cigarette butts and brew it in standard drip coffee machines that cost the equivalent of 3 new coffee machines each month. Most of the employees don't even drink the coffee, they brought their own Keurig machine and brew their own pods instead.

Sounds like a worthy point to raise. Peet’s is some truly awful stuff. When I think of it, my mind conjures images of “peat” the fertile gardening soil made from decayed vegetation.
It truly is the worst of the coffee offerings out here. When I see people in SF walking around with Peet's I always think "why?", you are literally surrounded by some of the best coffee in the world.... hell even Nestle Sell out Blue Bottle would be better than Peet's
Haha, as if Keurig is an improvement over burnt cigarette butts.
