Wow, nice work setup! Where do you work? Don't have to be specific or even answer if you want to retain privacy.Marcelnl wrote:<image>

In a very nice office, working in the pharma industry...this setup is a nice backup for the days I don't work from home

Here's my latest office coffee setup, after finding a great oak sideboard on Craigslist. I added a glass top. The espresso grinder is an Astoria (rebadged Mazzer) Super Jolly. The Baratza Virtuoso was another Craisglist find from about a year ago. I use it to grind for a Clever Coffee Dripper and heat water in a Bonavita PID kettle. The third generation La Pavoni Europiccola is from 2002 and is fully restored, with added manometer, one hole steam tip, adjustable pressurestat, metal drip grate, metal sightglass cover, brass piston and metal sight glass fittings. It's fitted with a group thermometer. The knockbox is from Rattleware. The still life water color in the background is an early work from my father, James Seeman, painted in 1944.

At one point, my office setup was a little crazy. I had about 20 vintage German hand grinders scattered on shelves by my desk and three vintage levers (Comocafe, Caravel, Europiccola). I've pared that down to one vintage hand grinder, a Clever, and a Hario Nel. I'm waiting on seals to finish a Graziella rebuild and will likely bring that in to work once it's back up and running along with an espresso-capable vintage hand grinder.

Man, what a great thread! I'm in a k-cup office right now, so the free coffee isn't an option (I'll drink almost anything, but can't do k cups). We have Nespresso capsules for "espresso" but that's only for utility caffeine. Pics are pretty much what you'd expect so I'll refrain for now.
These days I'm doing an espresso in the morning and then filling a thermos with coffee for the day. I got a nice thermos so I still have hot coffee by 3pm. It's pretty nice to get to work, watch everyone cracking open those k cups and pour myself a nice cup of french press from home. (Enjoying some great City of Saints coffee right now.)
Here is the Zojirushi thermos if you are in the market:
It was $26, but given $3/cup coffee for the place near my office it paid for itself almost as soon as I bought it.

My wife has what I assume is the smaller version of that same one. Zojirushi and Tiger from Japan are excellent insulated mugs. Highly recommended.salcangeloso wrote: Here is the Zojirushi thermos if you are in the market:
