Don’t most workplaces use a filter to make drip coffee? I’m so confused.

Yeah, all offices I have worked at just have regular Mr. coffee type machines with a paper filter and big glass carafe. One person just brews a new pot if they empty the last one. But maybe they mean those big coffee machines like they have in hospitals?

A lot of workplace coffee machines don't use paper filter, just a plastic or metal mesh.
