Input: My work provides free coffee. Bless. We brew it ourselves out of those pre-measured packets, have a variety of flavors and roasts, etc. It’s not the best coffee, but I’m not complaining about free. 

We typically have 3-4 carafes out at once, each with a different roast and we leave the empty coffee bag in front to indicate what’s inside. I have my preference but will drink almost any of them. The thing is, the VAST majority of people making coffee will only use one packet when, if you read the instructions and apply a tad bit of common sense, you should actually use two. I thought it was just awful coffee for short while before I discovered most people just used one packet. 

So, when I come in to get coffee, there is almost always an empty carafe, and I will take that one and brew coffee the correct way. I leave both bags out in front of the carrafe to indicate that it’s a stronger coffee so no one is taken by surprise. 

The thing is, every so often, maybe one out of 10-12 times, all carafes are pretty much full, so I will take one and dump out the weak coffee, and replace it with the coffee I made. There are 300 of us drinking this coffee, so we go through a lot, so in my mind one dumped carafe isn’t that much of a waste, especially since they made it with only one bag.

AITA for wasting bad coffee?
