My wife teaches in a school - the coffee is in the kitchen (a school
that in what used to be a private estate/home) and people come and go
unpredictably, grabbing something if it's available between classes,
when they have a free period, etc. In that way, the idea of only making
what you need is good, otherwise they used to either have no coffee if
someone forgot to brew it or very old coffee if no one had made it in a
while.
