Tempest in a Coffee Pot

  I’m not exaggerating when I say the most horrible thing that happens around the office is when there’s no coffee left in the coffee pot. Actually, scratch that, I’m definitely exaggerating. But still, none of the coffee drinkers like it very much.

One morning recently the topic came up, and Emily had a suggestion: if you take the last cup, brew another pot—a policy I thought could truly get behind. It was also suggested that perhaps a sign should be created enunciating this policy, so I took a few minutes the other day to throw something together.

And, you know what they say; making a sign makes it true. So, this morning Emily announced the new policy at our weekly staff meeting.

Of course, I believe the world will be a better place if everyone follows Emily’s advice, so we’re making the Brew it Forward sign available to anyone who wants it under a Creative Commons license (you can do what you want with it, as long as you don’t sell it and as long as you share any changes you make under an equally permissible license).
