Heh. A lot of people have pointed that out to me. :)
I can only hazard that this oversight is because in a public place there are signs with symbols on them pointing to bathrooms. In museums, theaters, restaurants etc., you walk toward the kitchen area or some part of the building that architecturally is likely to have a plumbing stack in it, and usually its right there, with a sign, often with symbols accompanying or instead of words. You don't usually need to ask anyone's permission, you just walk through the door.
But for coffee, you can be staring right at the damned machine, but still have to have the person who controls the coffee deliver it to you.
