brewing @ work?

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 set up a coffee station in my office and it has made working in the office much more enjoyable! I have a cheap gooseneck kettle and 1zpresso KMax hand grinder, along with a scale and carafe. My office mate and I bring various beans from roasters around town or when we travel. We have various methods for brewing to choose from: V60 size 02, Hario Switch size 03, Orea v3 (with negotiator option for no bypass), and an AeroPress.

I’m in a class (for work) and I do most of the coffee stuff.

We have two 12 cup pots that I prep before I leave. One auto brews and is ready when I get in and the other is ready to start whenever the first one starts getting low.

Other people bring in bags of coffee. I usually bring the creamer.

Back in the day I used to keep an aero press and an electric kettle at my desk. I had a hand grinder and also preground coffee. I don’t bother anymore, office coffee got better.

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.

Good luck. Office life is usually bereft of good coffee.

Generally I’ve found water heaters pretty low temp, like 70-80C. I like 90+, and would boost it in the microwave to a boil and then add a splash of cold.

With aeropress or pour over and hand grinder it’s easy to make a nice cup.

used aeropress for a while, but now using a kalita pour over setup and a timemore c2 grinder

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.

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.

Just plain old boring office coffee unfortunately. But defo coming straight home to a cup of aeropress usually ☕

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 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.
