Much prefer chocolate or herbal tea (decaf).The office kitchen also caters to stranger tastes, with 3 types of tea (two black tea variants and rooibos), Milo and hot chocolate.
What can I say, good company, well stocked kitchen.
Sounds amazing, I have to bring in my own tea bags. They sound like a company that also provides fresh fruit?
Sounds like a vast improvement over a previous company, which thought that a Maxpax machine was a suitable substitute for coffee...
We all chipped in and bought one of those Tassimo machines. It saves arguing over coffee if we're all buying our own pods.
Ha, me & a mate did that at my last place. H&S flipped out because we had it on our desk next to our PC's/plug sockets :exclamation:
Current place has nespresso machines, and yes, fresh fruit.
Unfortunately, I've found the English coffee culture being almost no better than the American, totally inadequate, must say that it's not my cup of tea. Have resorted to Percol instant Espresso when too lazy/busy to walk to the next proper Italian Caffè, Caffè Vergnano 1882 which is in my mind the best in London.
😎
BTW: it does take me about 90 seconds to get there from the office:-D
Being in Camden, that's maybe just a little far any time I want a coffee 🙂
But if it's really that good I may make an exception!
Worked in Camden few years back and IIRC, Camden Coffee House, just opposite to the St Michael's Church on Camden rd does a descent Caffè, not as good as 1882 but descent enough.
😎
But then again, going out for Caffè in London is like going for a Pub in NYC, futile exercise
Another vote for Caffè Vergnano 1882 from me. I nearly always find a way to get there when I'm in London! Its almost a pre concert ritual for me now.
Eirikur, I nearly always go to the one in Charing Cross, is that the one near you? Last time I checked there were two others.
Cheers,

Hope people had a good Thanksgiving in the US, or a quiet day elsewhere.Another day off for me, so I'm enjoying it after a quick check.
For Redgate, we have great coffee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOR_Y82bZCQ&feature=youtu.be
Steve,
I like the coffee machines at Redgate. I knew there was a reason I like visiting the office when I can 🙂

You get the right mug there and you can do a cappuccino with two additional shots of espresso. Heaven.

Eirikur chose his workplace well - in addition to the coffee, there's a very fine pub almost next door too. I'm in NYNY this weekend, would be awesome to meet both of you later next week.

Glad to hear it. Not much of my work here, just a little input, but I think it's looking good.
