How do you enjoy your roasts at work?

For those of you who work in an office, how do you like to enjoy you coffee?

Here's a picture of my office-brewing-setup

Nice! What's the container under the Aeropress?  Is it for the grounds?

That Aeropress... gotta love it. When I travel for work I bring my new-ish Lido 3, the Aeropress and that same kettle. Sometimes I bring a Clever Coffee Dripper instead of the Aeropress.

That container is to discard water after rinsing the glass server, the paper filter and the aeropress itself, prior to brewing. Also use as a drip tray after brewing. Then I bring it to the kitchen afterwards together with the dirty utensils to wash everything.

How do you like the lido so far Greg? Do you think it's worth the extra $$$ ?

I've tried a cheap porlex imitation and hated it. Tried a friend's Hario skerton, didn't like it as well. Then I bought the authentic porlex and it's doing a good job.

Not to take away from Greg's (future) testimony, but I can attest that the Lido is definitely worth the extra $. I bought the Lido E, which is almost identical to his Lido 3. Only difference with the E enables a wider range of grind settings. Extremely useful for espresso, but possible pain for other methods. OE's online marketing pictures don't do the justice needed for their grinders. They're awesome.

I started with an Aeropress the switched to a V60 pour over because I share with a coworker and we both are in agreement that a pour over just makes a better cup. For travel I still use an Aeropress but after my last trip I am thinking of taking just the V60 and pouring into a coffee mug might even take up less space.

I work from home so....


I need Johnny's E61 and decent grinder to round things out.


Pay no attention to the Kuerig...it doesn't count!

So, is it gone now or you're just disowning it?

I'm not allowed to touch it so i'm disowning it!

I have a decoration object here as well, missing in my first picture. Here it is:

The Dolce Gusto!  My firm does work for both Nestle and Starbucks, so we've got a Dolce Gusto and a Verismo.  (And an old Nescafe).  (And my aeropress/porlex).

Strike number 2.  I just bought an E2K Junior.

Sorry I missed your question- but yes, worth it! Quick background on it-- the folks in this forum talked me into it basically, and after I got it I realized the Super Jolly I had at the time wasn't cutting the mustard. The flavor difference was substantial so I started looking for a better home grinder- ended up with a Compak K10. The Lido is a little on the heavy side for travel but I love it.
