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 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.
I used to do pour overs, and got plenty of mileage out of that. Before then I’d used a French press but cleanup became a gigantic pain in the ass…
My recommendation would be a hand grinder, V60, and a gooseneck kettle. Clever drippers are the tits as well.
I have access to hot water machine, need to bring my thermopen in and see where it’s at temp wise. I have a q2 for grinding. Hadn’t thought about FP! I have Caffi FP filter bags that make cleanup super easy. I haven’t been able to get FP to taste quite right with them though - might experiment more with that though.
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.
Just plain old boring office coffee unfortunately. But defo coming straight home to a cup of aeropress usually ☕
used aeropress for a while, but now using a kalita pour over setup and a timemore c2 grinder
