The Inevitable Discussion of the Coffee Machine

Welcome, esteemed meeting attendees, to the main event of the afternoon. Today we will be discussing the coffee machine, that most pressing of issues.

The coffee machine has been on the fritz for weeks, and we can't have that, can we? The lack of caffeine has been causing widespread lethargy and decreased productivity. It's time to get to the bottom of this.

Some have proposed a solution, involving a new machine, but at what cost? Will we be sacrificing the soul of our beloved office in the pursuit of better brews?

Others have suggested we simply replace the filters, but how can we truly know the truth? Has the coffee machine become sentient, and is it merely taunting us with its malfunctioning?

The meeting will continue after this break, where we will discuss the finer points of coffee philosophy and the ethics of machine domination.
