Anybody brew at work? If so, what’s your setup/process? I’m fortunate enough to have free access to a shared automatic espresso machine (beans not pods) so the drive to do this is not super strong. I wrote about my experience with the pipamoka device for travel, and I’m thinking it might make for a pretty simple at work option rather than sitting in my cabinet when I’m not on the road. Often the mediocre espresso has me longing for something better even if it means using my own stash.
I have a DeLonghi Magnifica S sitting in my office. Bought it for the company with my own money when we were just 6 people, then once we started expanding and got a larger system for the kitchen, that one moved in with me and has been a steady companion ever since. I bring my own beans as well, so I don’t have to drink the terrible stuff the others seem to like. Win-win.
I used to use my aeropress in the office and would bring grounds with me. The coffee maker had a hot water dispenser so that was handy.
Now I work from home.
Just plain old boring office coffee unfortunately. But defo coming straight home to a cup of aeropress usually ☕
Not espresso, but I used to have a couple v60s and a hand grinder, and would bring some beans with the promise that I’d pour people coffee if they grind their cup. It became a nice way to take a morning social break for a few minutes, and a way for me to cycle fresh beans a little faster.
Our office has a keurig and I bought one of their official reusable cups and it’s not bad for what it is.
We also have some no name coffee grinder and a VERY nice brevil machine that I don’t fully understand.
