brewing @ work? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Clever Dripper, a scale, a kettle, and a Knock Feldgrind 2 (I've had this grinder for years) but any of the reasonably priced decent grinders from Kingrind, Timemore, or 1zpresso would be fine.

I have tried a few different options for brewing at the office:

French Press: Pros - few user inputs and reasonably good/consistent cups of coffee. Cons - major pain to clean up and I don't like the fines and micro grounds in the bottom of the cup.

Moka Pot (with a hot plate): Pros: not too many user inputs and fairly easy clean up. Cons - too hard to consistently get a good cup of coffee.

Regular pour over (Melita and V60): Pros -easy clean up and fairly easy to get repeatable good cups of coffee. Cons - too many user inputs. Must take time to get the pours right.

The winner: Clever Dripper! The lowest user inputs, easy clean up, clean cup of coffee with no fines or micro grounds in cup, very repeatable and consistent good cups of coffee.

Clever + Feld + something to heat the water up to brew temp in, was my kit too, back in the day.
