How do you enjoy your roasts at work?

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).

I wasn't aware they were still making pods for that. We put ours in the garage years ago...

rodraguirre - this is crazy. I have the exact same kettle, scale, and grinder. My Aeropress is a slightly older model from yours. Will send a pic (if I remember) this week.

I use a Lido 2 at work, and a 3 at home. My work setup consists of my Lido 2, an Aeropress, a mini scale, and a Panasonic water warmer / heater so that my water is always at 180F.

Regarding the Lido, it's such an amazing grinder. It's my first recommendation to anyone who's serious about their coffee. It makes the biggest difference to the brew to anything else, only second to the beans. Then again, great beans ground with a cheap grinder just isn't good...

The Dolce Gusto or the Verismo?  Both machines frankly kind of suck.  The Verismo takes forever to make a cup of coffee and is finicky.  It's no wonder it was a flop.  You can still buy pods, but nobody does.  Some Sbux stores stock them on occasion.  We haven't done work for Sbux in years, though, so I'm not sure why my office insists on seeking out pods for the thing.

The DG isn't bad.  It's faster at least.  I just don't know what kind of market share they can expect with the exact same product as Keurig but with no name recognition or existing base of machines in the market.  I think it's the kind of thing where everyone and their mother wanted a piece of the action in the coffee pod market because it was growing so fast.  But I have a feeling the Dolce Gusto is going to go the way of the Verismo.
