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.

Biggest problem was water temperature. They'd have a microwave, and one of those fancy taps that gives chilled or instant-coffee-hot water, but not hot enough for brewing, and no electric kettle. Can't put the gooseneck kettle in the microwave. I had a plastic gravy separator thing to microwave the water in for a while. Better to just use something less dependent on pouring technique, like aeropress or clever.
