A lot of ink has been spilled over the years about our kettle. It’s a hard worker. However, the real MVP of our office has never been revealed, until now:

| Our best hire ever is on the left. |
Let’s call him Tim. With only a bit of regular maintenance, Tim produces pot after pot of coffee everyday. The boost to our productivity cannot be measured. Who knows how many hours of productivity could have been lost over the years if Tim was not on the job, ready to produce a fresh pot of coffee in only minutes.
It’s a testament to the power of the coffee pot that when our old coffee maker broke a few years ago, almost a dozen employees went to the nearest Tim Hortons to procure a coffee maker. (They also needed to buy coffee). Our first Tim Hortons coffee maker died within a couple of years. It was so popular, however, that it was quickly replaced with the same model.
Are there better coffee makers on the market? Maybe. We don’t care, though. Tim is firmly part of the team, and would be very difficult to replace.
