I used to, when I was in college. But later I found out that the providers here in the Philippines rarely cleaned them (if not never) so I stopped purchasing from them. I'd rather take 3-in-1 now... and I go to Starbucks when I feel like treating myself :D it's expensive for my lifestyle.

I never buy coffee from vendo machines anymore. The cleanliness of those machines are indeed questionable. The very last time I ever did was at a government-run hospital, and there were tiny bugs floating in the coffee. At first I thought they were just undissolved clumps of coffee, but when I sniffed it, it smelled of cockroach. It made me throw up as I had been drinking coffee from another vendo machine in another wing of the same hospital. I don't even go to Starbucks anymore as it reminds me of that time. Happy mylotting!

Oh...bad experience... that's horrible! And to think that it was in a hospital! I hope you took the chance to complain :) the hospital might get sued if people get sick do to their sanitary negligence.

I didn't complain to the proper channels - there was apparently no known proper channel to complain to. Besides all my energies went to the person I was watching and taking care of at the hospital. I just didn't have any fighting spirit within me at that time. Yeah, bad experience.

I do buy coffee from the vending machine. There is coffee vending machine in my company, sometimes when I feel like drinking coffee, I will just go and get one cup of coffee for myself.

Don't they provide you with free coffee in your company? they provide us with free coffee but I'm not very good at mixing it :P I'd really love it if they'd just provide free BREWED coffee...but I guess that's a bit too expensive here.

My hubby does as I am not a coffee drinker. So if you want to know where all my quarters are he spent them in that awful machine. He has recently started taking a metal thermos with filled with coffee so that is nice he's starting to figure out the value of a dollar even at his age *LOL* He usually doesn't patron Starbucks but he will patron gas stations for a coffee & occasionally McD's.

The last time I had it, it was disgusting. I guess I've been drinking home made and Starbucks for too long - I need strong, flavorful coffee and vending-machine coffee was not cutting it for me.
