On busy days, I used to run into the kitchen/coffee/ice room and start a pot, tell my fav CNA when I passed her in the hall "New coffee, 7 minutes, meet you in the kitchen!" We'd meet, throw about 6 oz each over ice, raise our cups in "Cheers", chug 'em and go run right back to work...
Less than 30 seconds to start the brew, then about a minute to chug once it's ready. It was efficient, but even more, it made us feel like teammates on tough days.
