water coolers

Workplace drinking stations

Water coolers are dispensers that chill and dispense drinking water, typically found in offices and public spaces.

The phrase water cooler conversation or water cooler talk refers to informal workplace chat—the kind of gossip or discussion that happens when coworkers gather around a shared amenity: It was the water cooler topic all week.
