people who take the last of the coffee and dont start a new pot--those are the real terrorists.

I suspect a modscrubbing beckons.

Along with people who leave enough to say they left some but not enough to even make 1/3 of a cup.

What's the time cutoff though? You go in at 11 and get the last cup, so you make a pot that someone may or may not use?

Given the choice I'd rather make a fresh pot than one that's been sitting an hour.

about 80% of the time im making the first pot around 8. depending how quickly we drink it i'll make another one around 10 or 1030 but after that i dont mess with it. too late in the day and people won't drink it and it'll just go to waste.

This is why every office should switch to a Keurig or Nespresso or similar single-cup dispenser.

I always make the first pot and the second pot and the third................................

There really isnt a cutoff time here, people are drinking it all day.

We had a keurig at one time, but the old people in the office complained too much about it so we went back to the old fashioned way

I give it until noon. After that, if you want more, you're on your own to make it.

I've also learned to not care about the "wasted" coffee scenario. If it goes unconsumed before it gets thick and oily, it's part of the cost of doing business (admittedly, I work for a large employer; at a small business, I'd surely feel differently).

Employees are worth somewhere between $50-$500 an hour at work. A pot of coffee costs tops $1. If a person worth $50/hour wastes 5 minutes making a pot of coffee and waiting for a cup because someone didn't want to 'waste' a pot of coffee, that's $4 or just under that not wasting coffee costs the company.
