☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

The biggest improvement would be to get your colleagues to agree to buy a grinder and write out a simple set of directions for the amount of beans to grind for each pot. Since this is just drip machine or a large percolator, the quality of the grinder is not hugely important like it would be for pour over or espresso. A basic Baratza Encore would be more than good enough.
Cafe Bustelo, Eight O'Clock Coffee, plus the Costco and Aldi brands mentioned by others should all be a big step up from pre-ground Folgers.
The key is to grind before each brew instead of using pre-ground.
