Mindy Grapefruit Joe Endive January 30, 1996 Request to purchase coffee maker |
|
George Grape Jon Orange Mike Celery Jean Radish |
Mindy, at our department meeting last
week, I agreed to research the purchase of a coffee maker for
the department. The research has yielded a clear preference, and
I am ready to make the purchase.
Potential uses for the coffee maker include service for
- Group meetings
- Guests
- Coffee lovers
Consumer Reports recommended three specific coffee makers.
The models and prices are listed in Table 1.

| Type | Size |
Manufacturer and model # |
Price |
| Drip | 12 cups | Brown K345-6 | $39.95 |
| Percolator | 12 cups | Toastmaker 89123 | $24.00 |
| Instant-reserve | 15 cups | Benn H001-A2 | $89.50 |
Please initial the attached requisition for the instant-reserve coffee maker, written to Slade's Hardware against our budget #50. Coffee can be purchased out of petty cash. I will stop on the way home from work to purchase the coffee maker and a couple of varieties of coffee--including the French roast you like so much.
We will all enjoy a cup or two of coffee at the morning staff meeting.
