I always warn people that since I don't drink the stuff, they are taking their lives in their own hands by having me make it. On the occasions that I still get stuck with the task, I just double the coffee or halve the water. When anyone asks, I (truthfully) say "My parents always liked strong coffee, since I don't drink it here, I didn't know how strong you wanted it."

(This has gotten me out of ever making it again at those places I have done it.)

Salt. I added salt. I had a friend in the Navy once and he told me that a
little salt made better coffee. So I took his advice to the extreme. With
LOTS more grounds than was needed.

I smiled and explained that I always ground my coffee so I didn't know how
to do it this way. Then I told me Navy friend story. And smiled.

Never asked to make coffee again. The funniest part was the person who asked
knew I knew how to make coffee. The point was made.

Always do stupid tasks badly with a smile. You will not be asked again.

| You left out the most important part: Never dump the old grounds.
