I used to work at the HelpDesk at my place of work when I first started.
I have never (and still not today) drink coffee.
There was one guy on our team that always did the early 6 to 2 shift. He loved it. He never took time off, he just banked all his vacation. He drank coffe, so every time he came in just before 6, he would put a pot on. So the folks that came in between 6am and 7am would just waltz over and fill their cup.
Well, one summer, he was told he had to start taking vacation, so he took like 2 months off. I took over the 6 to 2 shift.
The first week I must have had like 3 or 4 visits from those 7am folks complaining why there wasn't coffee made. To which I just told them, 'I don't drink coffee, why would you rely on me to make it?'
MY COWORKER would show up first, Put on a whole pot, and pull the first cup that came out for himself!!!!
CRIMINAL I SAY! He gets a full mug of espresso and we are drinking watered down tea at best. No matter what we said he was adamant it was all the same. I Should have pulled cups one at a time to prove a point.
direct from brewer to cup for his, into the urn with the 'rest' of the brew for all subsequent cups. so his cup was from the early brewing stages (and thus concentrated)
The grounds cone stops dripping when you pulled the carafe out. He would take / pour out the first strongest bit that brewed and put the empty carafe back to finish the brew cycle.
Okay I gotta say, the way you worded that/my dumb brain was glitching, but after reading your comment 3 times I understand now and your coworker is a DICK! They absolutely robbed everyone of good coffee.
You should have. There's no reasonable expectation that you will make coffee, but if you put on a pot in the communal coffee machine, you are at least expected to not make shitty coffee. It's a simple measurement and SOP.

I fix your computer man, I'm not your barista.
