I've waited to weigh in on this issue because I wanted to see what everyone else had to say. I have been very fortunate in that I have never really been asked (on a regular basis) to provide coffee for any of my bosses. I think it has a great deal to do with the kinds of bosses I've had the pleasure of working with (more "new school" than old guard). In the past, though, I have made "coffee runs" to the cafeteria of a former job to purchase coffee for meetings (very infrequently), and have made the coffee in an urn for meetings in my present position. Lately, though, if we need coffee for meetings, we just order in a continental breakfast. The gentleman I'm working for now drinks iced tea that he gets himself. The one before that would stop for coffee on his way in (he arrived much earlier than I did!).
All that to say....I don't think it should be in anyone's job description to get coffee, but, if you offer to get it when you're getting yours, or they offer to get yours when they're getting theirs, that's okay. It should be common courtesy that dictates it, not duty. Frankly, I am usually too busy to drop everything to get someone a cup of coffee. Besides, I'm a tea drinker.
But that's just my opinion.
