Flat illustration: a shared office coffee machine taste goodCoffee5 things that help a shared office coffee machine taste goodNobody in the building owns the coffee machine, which is exactly why it tastes like nobody owns it: scale nobody descales, a reservoir that sits full over every bank holiday, a hopper that's only ever topped up and never emptied. None of the real fixes need facilities' permission or a budget line — most take under fifteen minutes and one person willing to be the person who does them.9 Sept 2026 · 8 min readFlat illustration:
