In my previous job as PA to the MD, i was politly asked by bossie to get him coffee whilst in the office - even if i wasnt getting any for myself. It wasn't to much of a pain as he was only in the office two or three days a week - and it gave me a break from my desk. He also thought it best if i got him coffee for any meetings he had rather than rely on our office junior.
However in my new job (Office Manager for a small IT Consultancy - 5 employees) we all take it in turns to get the coffee, as i only drink one cup first thing I end up not making or drinking much.
I dont think beverage fetching is demeaning unless it's taken for granted and seen that only the admin can do the coffe/tea run. I feel that providing coffee & biscuits for guests gives a good first impression - especially if you serve nice biscuits.
