   Part of my job as office manager is to keep supplies stocked up. People in this office drink a ridiculous amount of coffee which takes a chunk out the budget as Nescafé is now about £6 a jar. Recently switched it with £1.25 coffee from Aldi and nobody's noticed the difference.

     @whybird Nescafe instant, however, is none of those things. @fesshole

     @fesshole Coffee is not just an expense, it is an investment in enhanced productivity. And good coffee, like other aspects of a nice place to be at the office, is an investment in physical attendance, morale and loyalty as well.

     @whybird @fesshole they're all dreadful, but I swear it's actually the worst instant coffee

     @HauntedOwlbear @fesshole In fact, this probably explains why no-one noticed the change. Nescafé tastes like toe jam rolled in dirt anyway, so no change in going even cheaper.
