Nothing free here either, and never will be.
Coffee in the canteen is about Sfr2,50 (€1,60) and in the terminal building its Sfr4,50 (€2,90) expensive but good stuff.
At the vending machine you get a cup for Sfr0,90 (€0,60) cheap but tastes like battery acid.

BYO here, or use the staff cafe which is OK (Espresso Machine).

If drinking in the Ops area has to be in a spill-proof vessel - which have the habit of spilling 10 times more than a normal coffee cup.

But we persist with the charade. It keeps the morons happy.

Don't think our new Starbucks will be in the pence bracket as and when they get here..............
They've been doing Starbuck's in the TC canteen for a while now.

Most of the "Talls" are circa 60-80p IIRC.

WF.

One good thing about Skyguide - we get free coffee (although it's the "Nespresso" capsule type). Once heard a rumour that the boss pays - don't know if it's true.

No Oz ATC untis have tea and coffee supplied FOC to the troops.

Most units have either a "brew club" or ATCs BYO their own coffe/tea, milk and sugar.

In Brissie, we have our own canteen, so during the hours of 0630 to 1930 local, we have (for a modest price) all the skinny mugocinnos you can shake a stick at.

I visited the ACC at Aix-de-Provence a few years ago - the old one - and in the cafeteria they offered wine alongside coffee and tea. Not free, of course, and I was told it was "for after work." More civilized than trips to one's locker on the mid-shift, no? (Yes, I actually knew a controller who did that.)

Not only is our tea and coffee free, but management having gone through their HSE Safety Mangement Sysytem whatnot decided there was a risk of the controllers wilting in the hot sun and provided a free water cooler in the VCR. Now all we need is a pissoir up there because of all the water noises...
