Coffee Making Duties

[wurzel]

I've had a couple of coffee making related incidents in the first few days of a couple of contracts in the past and as a result have developed a
real complex about making coffee for people. Place where I've just started has a coffee round of 15 people and you have to walk down 2 flights of stairs & through 3 sets of doors
to get the job done, i.e. plenty of scope for a disaster. So far, I've managed to avoid doing a round by abstaining from drinking anything but how can I keep it up without appearing to be a totally unsociable sod?

Buy a £20 kettle to use it in your office.

just tell them you don't do coffee rounds and that you prefer to get your own, simple as that

No. Think like a contractor. Spend a few £1000 on a decent coffee machine for your desk.

They don't allow them in the big places, have an elf and safety bloke at your desk in 30 seconds.

Yes, I am the same, round of 12 in my latest gig so I don't bother drinking tea anymore.

Used to work in a place where you rolled a dice to see who's turn it was and at the end of the month the person who had made the least had to buy everyone lunch at the local cheapo chinese.

Well said that man. The one we shared a decade ago cost 400 quid to repair and we didn't even flinch at the cost, because it produced excellent coffee at a fraction of the price of the vending machines.
