The most important person in a company or community could well be the coffee baron. That is the person in charge of the coffee fund who ensures that coffee is always ready. You might practice on friends. Pick a day, and time of day, and tell them to stop by for coffee. They will come, and you will be their Baron. Clean the coffee maker, at least once a month, with vinegar: look it up. Know the discounts and coupons offered at each of your outside coffee spots.  In public you can join a club, or buy your treat with a coupon, gift card, or a receipt.
