Post a pic of your work espresso setup

We who are interested in Home-Barista want to really enjoy every cup of coffee, no doubt. So I'm probably not the only one who does not care to pull the carafe of drip coffee off the hot plate for the mid-day cup.

If you like a coffee break during the day at work, what do you use to prepare your cup?

I found the Pasquini Livietta makes a nice and quick cup with store bought ground espresso so I can have a tasty espresso in less than 2 minutes with very little prep time or clean up.

:shock: Wow, your working place actually allows you to have a personal espresso machine at your work station? That's rare..

I didn't ask permission, just made sure I wouldn't blow any breakers, and resisted the urge to midnight-engineer a water line...

This picture is in my 5th floor office, though at the moment I have this set up in a cube where I have a temporary assignment.

:shock:

The very best thing we can have here in the office is a Nespresso. A machine with portafilter? Steam? A Tamper?? A grinder??? LOL :roll: No way here. You lucky.

I used to have a Gaggia Baby and Rancilio Rocky doser at my previous place of work. Since I cannot use electrical appliances at my new job, I am using a Mypressi Twist and a 1950's vintage KyM hand grinder. I am pulling better shots quicker and with less fuss then before.

Here is my office machine. It is an Expobar Brewtus Rotary and it is paired with a Mazzer Mini Electronic. I am slowly teaching my coworkers latte art, though this is some recent work of my own pouring.

Fresh beans are from a place just down the street where we can get 5 lbs fresh (two days off roast) every Monday.
