Bleach. I poured a tiny amount into a litre of milk I owned when renting a house with a food thief. He never touched any of my stuff again.

My advice is to make your coffee the moment you get to work. Don't leave beans inside the machine.

What Atlas said. Also, I had that problem once when I lived in a Dilbertland. I had to lock my coffee maker and fixin's up when I wasn't there. Most programs, I rated an office with a locking door. Nobody filching my stuff, then.

I go in at 8:30 and I arrive at 8:15. I leave it brewing at 8:15 and go log onto all my systems. I come back to get it at 8:30. Whomever takes it knows my routine.

This sounds like a really good reason to alter your routine from 8:15-8:30.

My office is an agency combo. We have a few agencies sharing the space. Our break room has five coffee makers, which belong to specific people. If you want to make coffee, you have to bring your coffee maker, coffee, and anything you need to brew it and prepare it. I have my name on top of mine: IVY’s.
I make my coffee every morning, so it’s ready by 8:30. I grab my mug and head to the break room already craving my coffee, when boom. I see it. The coffee maker. It’s empty. Someone has been taking MY coffee. Said person left a dollar under the maker the other day. The fuck?!

So, what should I do?

1. Replace coffee grounds/fill K-cup with human poop. 

2. Sit back and wait

This is one of my favorite Friends scenes of all time, lol. Poor Ross and moist-maker.
