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 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.
Team Clever for the win!
