Coffee supplies here means:
- Coffee beans
- Milk
- Cream
- Sugar
- Tea
Some of these things can be bought in one huge go and stockpiled;the dairy things of course can't...
As an example, in March we went through
- 4kg of coffee ( ~$70)
- 1kg of sugar( ~$10)
- 1 box tea ( ~$4 )
- ~8l/week milk ( ~$10/wk ~ $40)
- 1-2l/week cream ( ~$5 /wk ~ $20)
At the end of the month, take your reciepts to Candace for reimbursment. Sugar (preferably in the cardboard "milk carton" containers which re-seal nicely), milk (preferably %1 or %2), and cream ("half-and-half" or even "light") can be bought from the 7-11 at Spadina and College, or wherever your favourite place is.
Espresso beans are best bought by the 1kg bag from the coffee/sweets shop on Baldwin near the corner of Baldwin & Augusta (beside the cafe) in Kensington Market; it's ~$17/kg, and a bag remains fresh for about 2 months unopened, so feel free to stock up at the start of the month. You sometimes need to ask for a receipt. It's important to get this coffee or something very similar; coffee which is too oily (normally a good thing!) or flavoured coffee will jam up our coffee maker, causing everyone to be very cross at you.
