To think that if I don't drink tea/ coffee...

I shouldn't have to make every fucker else a cup at work?!

Why not compromise? Make a pot of tea and a cafetiere of coffee ( both take less than 5 mins whilst you make your own beverage) then announce " pot of tea made.and cafetiere done!" then let people get their own- you've been part of a team so dont get any grief..and you've avoided the " how I like my beverage" roulette game which drives me bonkers.
It isnt a big deal to do this once a day if your other colleagues are. It's part of office culture. Or if you really hate it..buy a biscuit tin and throw some biccies in it once a week. Then say.." I dont do the drinks..but I do provide the biccies/ sweeties occasionally instead"...and repeat until they get it!

We have rounds but it is quite informal. Whoever is least busy or wants to get away from their desk at any given moment will make a round for anyone on the bank of desks who wants one. It's part of us all being friendly and taking care of each other.

I was 'milk monitor' for a couple of years. Now that was a pain. Trying to get £2.50/month out of colleagues to pay for milk/tea/coffee. It was like I had asked for their life savings!

Hate this. One person in our office started this and of course then folk feel bad not reciprocating. Eventually she was told by boss to just make her own and let us do the same. I like making it myself and enjoy the few minutes break from the desk. No way should you have to do it when you don't even drink it
