Sometimes it's a little better than dishwater, but never any good.  I made
my own until a couple of weeks ago, when facilities management outlawed
coffee makers -- they've had a few problems with overheated wiring in
cubicles.  I'm not in a cubicle, but they're banned except in break rooms.
I'm hoping they'll get over it in a while.
