We have received correspondence from the Head of Corporate Responsibility and Engagement Services informing us of their intention to increase vended standard tea and coffee from 30p to 35p on w/c 2nd November 2009 (letter attached). They are holding all other prices including hot beverages in the canteen.

That stuff is a rip off, I only buy it because I don't have a permanent frame to keep stuff like that in. Time to take in my own coffee. The other vending machines are full of crap and cost a fortune aswell.

Its just a rip off. I take in a small cool bag with ice packs for cold juice in the summer and a flask for coffee in the winter. My partner works in a office which has a PROPER quailty branded vending machine and she gets FREE cups all day

If the flask from Amazon is a bit pricey, and who of us has loads of spare cash now, get a starbucks one. I have had one for some months and it works great, preheat it with boiling water over night, then make your T in the morning. Dont milk in the flask, take it in a separate container, it will stay hotter longer.

The main reason for that particular one was it's (supposed) ruggedness and the fact that it was one of the first to come up in google

I think the more people who do that the better plus you can always take it out on delivery with you, it'll save people a fortune and I can't see those vending machines staying with just managers using them.

I've never understood why people use the drink vending machine in our office - the quality is awful and the price is way over the top, you don't even get the equivalent of a full cup of tea or coffee. And now that we HAVE to take our break (which I am delighted about) there is a queue with everyone hoping that the machine doesn't break down before they get their turn. We have a boiling water geyser permanently on, which will fill a cup or flask in seconds, so surely investing in a good quality box of teabags or coffee would save money and give a much more satisfying result

also them cheap cups that burn ya hands at first then go cold within 2 mins.. I say we boycott them, would rather pay 40-50p for a decent cup and a decent drink..
