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.

Lots of clever drip recommendations here. Does make sense for work environment. I haven't tried clever but not sure I see any meaningful advantage over Hario switch which has the nice insulated glass.

They make a glass Clever! (Amazon Link)

I use it at home!
But the plastic one is a bonus for work cuz people dgaf about my things in the staffroom.

I went with the Clever since I didn't have a V60 so no compatible filters at the time but I had lots of the generic (and much cheaper) Melita style filters. Work flow wise, they would be identical.

Be aware that this "nice insulated glass" has two problems: 1. Breaks a whole lot easier than the plastic Clever; and 2. Sucks up a lot of heat that would be better going into the brewing process.

The Clever may be easier to disassemble for cleaning than the Switch but I am not sure.
