brewing @ work? (self.coffee)

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.

Fyi - mentioned it in another response, but Caffi filter bags for French Press eliminate all the cons you listed there. Worth a try if you have a French Press you want to try to revive. You need to grind quite a bit finer than you normally would and maybe push extraction closer to 5min. Personally though, I feel like the flavor comes out a bit flat. Not to rag too heavily on FP, but I feel like a big part of the FP taste is oil and fines and when you cut those out with a filter it seems you are left with fairly mediocre coffee. That being said, maybe I need to work on technique because with the caffi filter the brew process becomes very similar to an immersion brewer much like the clever dripper.
