They have these big dinner-style machines that you can use to brew a large batch of coffee and then put it in large thermos, but honestly the taste is pretty bad (but it is free!) and it requires you to babysit the process.

We also have free tea and hot cocoa.

In most places employees will also bring a Nespresso machine so you can bring your own pods which is somewhat better.

Writing all that I feel like it will come off as extremely entitled. I just want to stress that I personally don't mind much, but having worked for other tech companies, it's definitely at the bottom in terms of "free stuff".

    You can get yourself a nice pour-over setup on Amazon for the office and every two weeks or so buy a bag of small batch coffee at Whole Foods ...

      Or set up an Amazon subscription for the beans, so convenient

I was an intern at Amazon in Seattle in 2018 and full-time from 2019-2021. Coffee was definitely free back then although someone had to brew it for the office.

I did it pretty often as it was a nice thing to do and a good way of meeting people who were waiting for the coffee.
