Frequent visitors to Wilson Commons’ Pit might have noticed a new addition. On the left of the ice cream freezer near the Wok, students can now find a self-service coffee machine, as well as some sugar and coffee creamers with different flavors on the side.
Coffee at the Wilson Pit was a staple before COVID-19, assistant Pit Director Dave Ochterbeck shared. The coffee machine had to be removed during COVID, following the health mandate for the removal of all self-service stations.
The coffee machine was brought back as an opportunity to return a student favorite, Adrienne Owens, Harvest Table marketing and special events director, told the Campus Times.
The new machine is both quick and delicious, which Ochterbeck finds to be a great option for students in a rush — who do not have the time to visit other coffee shops. He also mentioned the additional bonus of the Pit crew having the option to start their mornings with a nice cup of coffee.
The coffee costs $1.49, and guests can pay via cash, credit, dining dollars, or Rocky Bucks.
The machine currently only serves regular coffee, but Ochterbeck shared that they are working with partners to bring in new flavors as they become available.
