We have fairly non-terrible coffee at our office available almost always on demand. Yet still there are a non-trivial number of us who opt to brew single cups either with Aeropress, or cone pour over.
The author nails it. Often it's more about the ritual of taking a few minutes to do something that isn't work. The fact you get a nice cup of coffee is a bonus. Others in our office do the same thing by walking out the front door and over to the indie coffee place literally around the corner.
- stirfrykitty 8y agoWe have one of those Dutch de Jong Duke coffee machines in our office. Thing makes great coffee, and as a consequence, I drink more than I would were I elsewhere. Thing makes lattes, cappuccinos, double/triple shots. The "executive" staff bought it, but we're all free to use it. It must cost them a fair amount of coin to run it, as it's always in use. Tastes better than Starbucks, but not as good as making your own with a French Press. You can see the oil in the coffee, so it must be only minimally filtering out just the grounds. I use it because it's there, and I'm one of those who, after drinking copious amounts of coffee daily for decades, develops headaches from lack of caffeine during the day.
