Detailed duties:
  1. Keep an eye on the coffee machine to make sure it’s running smoothly
    • If it breaks, it’s up to you to troubleshoot or negotiate with the lab to buy a new one. This one was introduced ~2012ish.
  2. Monitor coffee bean levels.
    • Beans are stored next to the machine.
    • If the bean level gets low, notify the Pop Pool czar and, if necessary, pick up a bag
    • Keep your receipts; you will be reimbursed from the Pop Pool for any purchases.
    • Try to purchase coffee cost-effectively. We try to buy coffee from Costco on the big pop pool shopping trips, but the campus Starbucks will work in a pinch. If you’d like to pick a specific coffee, just make sure that the price of a cup ($0.35, I believe) is higher than the cost to actually make that cup.
  3. Monitor milk levels and replace as needed.
    • Milk is stored in the fridge, please label it with a sharpie as “Lab” or “Pop Pool”
    • Pick up milk as needed. Most grocery stores will be cost effective enough.
    • Keep your receipts; you will be reimbursed from the Pop Pool for any purchases.
    • You may need to adjust the size of the milk depending on how many people are using it.
  4. Monitor tea levels (similar to milk, except not stored in the fridge wink )
  5. Other coffee/amenities, like sugar, fall in under the coffee+milk czar
  6. You are the liaison to the coffee machine. Learn how the milk steamer works. Paste funny coffee-related pictures around the machine. Help others if they have trouble. Etc.

A previous study shows that 1 pound (0.453 g) of beans can serve approximately 40 coffees. Considering the price for a cup as $0.35, we have 40 x 0.35 = $14 as the maximum value for 1 pound of coffee to be purchased without creating a budget deficit. For instance, 1 pound of coffee at Starbucks costs $17.95, which is above this threshold. Coffee purchased at CostCo or SaveOnFoods are cheaper.
 

Accounting:

  • Collect bubble sheets for pop/coffee pool
  • Maintain balances owing (update balances from bubble sheets and take payments)
Line: 100 to 128
 
      • You will need to be in the imager user group in order to have permission to write the files. Email help@csDELETEthisTEXT.ubc.ca CCing a MUX faculty for approval asking: "Can I be added to the imager group so that I can edit the MUX webpage: /ubc/cs/research/imager/imager/local/generic/web/Meetings/mux.html)? <CC'd faculty name> can you please confirm that I should have permission to edit the MUX page?"
      • SFTP to remote.cs.ubc.ca using your cwl login (e.g., gleesonb@remoteDELETEthisTEXT.cs.ubc.ca) and password
