Shurgard


Tool: Blinking/Atmospheric LED-equipped free vending
Taste: Average - sugary even when "no sugar" selected 
Temperature: Good.
Tumbler: Proper china mug.

Not worth a visit to their offices, but decent when you're there. In a sense, it's a shame... they probably have hundreds of unused expresso machines in their stores.

ACC Team

Tool: probably an american, double-jug, always-ready type of coffee-machine
Taste: ...less.
Temperature: Tepid.
Tumbler: Dish-washer resistant.

Well obviously. I mean, what do you expect from a group of people solely dedicated to optimising cost structures? A lot of cheap water, very little expensive beans... Optimised coffee!

Please note the individually packed Speculoos. If you don't eat it, it goes back in the box, ready for the next tax inspector. I hope the same does not apply to the milk...
Having said this, I'd rather have a good accountant serving poor coffee, than a good barista sorting my accounting.


WinBooks


Tool: Probably an electric boiler
Taste: Nescafé
Temperature: Tepid
Tumbler: Plastic, throw-away

Comment: Well of course accountants cut costs! I bet their software can tell you the price & value of a simple cup of coffee: not much... here, anyway. Wouldn't recommend a meeting there for a even decent coffee. Ah well... can't wait for this second meeting at Mary's Corner (who probably don't run their accounting under WinBooks).

The Crew Communication


Tool: Most likely "the cube"
Taste: Nespresso
Temperature: Good
Tumbler: Designy Ikea china

Comment:
Honestly, you wouldn't expect anything less in an advertising agency, would you?
Think of it, it seems Nespresso is becoming the Coffee-World Apple: trendy, expensive, (supposedly) different... yet unbeatable.
