'I saw red': Employee thinks it’s coworker's responsibility to buy coffee for the office even though it's supplied for free, coworker finally shuts it down with brutal honesty

Free coffee at the office is a necessary perk. I once worked at a place that had the most ancient coffee maker you could imagine. It was a clunky, beige machine with a cracked glass pot, faint brown stains baked into the burner, and a gurgle that sounded like it was crying out for retirement. Still, I drank it every day, because that bitter sludge was the only thing keeping me vertical. Later, I upgraded to a job that spoiled us with an iced coffee fridge that was constantly stocked with canned lattes and cold brews in rotating seasonal flavors. Pumpkin spice in the fall, peppermint mocha in December. That fridge kept me loyal to that company way longer than my paycheck did.
