When the office space has an area for coffee making, and it's open, it's true that it's disturbing. Imagine there are 10 people in the office and everyone is making one cup of coffee every morning, you will at least get disturbed for 10 times. It's not just the office, i think sometimes we will go to a cafe and work there instead. It's not the crowd that it's disturbing, but it's the noise from the coffee machine.
