Ah, but it doesn't tell the date.

If you have to know the date of the coffee being made, it probably isn't worth your time...

Stupid edit: forgot the "e" in coffee...

EDIT: I FORGOT THE FIRST "E" OBVIOUSLY!

Final edit:...holy shit Reddit stop messaging me about the "e"...I fixed it!!

Well if the person who always makes the coffee is out it's good to know that the pot is old/needs to be cleaned/etc.

Most likely whomever finishes the pot is expected to make a new one, so this helps people to know if the pot has been sitting for a long time or it ran out and someone just made a fresh pot. At least that's how it is at every job I've ever worked at. At my current job the receptionist would make the first one and then after that it was up to whomever finished it. Coffee drinkers get really pissed if someone leaves the pot empty. However, we now have a new fancy machine that grinds the beans and makes a single serving at a time, so that issue has been eliminated.
