At my first workplace they ordered coffee beans from Brasil via post. My second workplace was an American company so we had mostly vending-machine coffee but next to that there was an option to drink Douwe Egberts Omnia. It's Hungarian blend, ant not too bad. In Germany one of my workplace ordered coffee roasted according to their taste directly, the other one imported Java beans (the coffee, even though the connection might have been trough the programming language). Even the company was named after a coffee plantation in Java.
The espresso machine in all these offices worth €2000-€4000...
In America we have Starbucks which turned coffee into a multi-hundred-calorie beverage with all kinds of flavourings. Yuck! In shops you can find Folger's and Maxwell House. Both suck. Not to forget the awful filter coffee these people are drinking. But god bless the organic farmer's markets where you have a wide selection (at least 20) of blends and you can even grind them yourself (so you can select the really fine level for espresso).
In the office we have Nescafe...
Americans say the coffee we're drinking in Europe is like mud. Well what could you expect from people drinking sugary soda even at home instead of water :)
