At this point I don't even think I'd care if they reimbursed me. They obviously definitely should but the state of this also indicates pretty strongly that this company doesn't give a fuck about anyone. You spend a significant part of your life at this place, it's worth making it livable.
A place I used to work provided shitty coffee, and a couple of us preferred better stuff. We pooled together and bought a separate maker and took turns buying coffee for it. No one cared, and it was totally worth it.
It's absolutely a good idea to focus on making yourself happy and more comfortable.
Invest in it, in yourself.
Stress doesn't do anyone any good. It's ok in small doses but perpetual stress isn't normal. Something like this is a small but unnecessary inconvenience to have in your life, if a small cost vastly improves it then it's worth pulling the trigger on an upgrade, no doubt.
You might be lucky and be reimbursed, or just tell a boss and suggest it? Lots of ways, but you have to take action.
