We have a coffeemachine at work and the boss provides the coffee.
But I had filtered coffee anyway, the one at works really sucks (ok, never look at gifthorse...etc, but still) tastewise and makes me pee like the Niagara Falls.
Getting an espresso etc at the cafe next door is no alternative, because it is both expensive and not good enough. Putting one of my Gaggias in the kitchen here would mean desaster, because noone will take care of it.
So I have to spend my workingday without "dope".
Phils thread on americanos gave me some ideas, but a colleague brought the solution.
He put a big spoonful of the available ground coffee together with a bit sugar in a mug and added boiling water. after a couple of minutes the grounds were at the ground and the brew ready to drink.
Of course a far cry from a real mocca, but much much better than what I was used to at work.
