Break room coffee is disgusting and the java from the shop down the street is expensive. What’s a coffee snob to do? Maintain your snobbery from the comfort of your desk, that’s what. With the following tools, you can brew and enjoy the good stuff from the comfort of your cubicle—and your boss will thank you for the extra productivity.

Great beans

For quality coffee, you need quality beans. Try Death Wish, the top-rated beans at Walmart. A bag retails for about $17.50 and they have a variety of options, from flavored varieties to dark roasts.

A portable coffee maker

Try a portable, single-serve coffee maker to brew on the go. This one, for $59.99, is mini, but it has a true percolator and temperature controls to ensure you’re getting a good cup.

A little Nespresso

Your big espresso maker is for home. A little Nespresso is for the office desk. With a footprint of just 4.3 inches by 8 inches, this single-serve brewer ($165.90) is ideal for keeping the bean juice flowing during work hours. And don’t forget to stock up on the pods.

A travel-sized pour over set

If you have access to hot water at your office, you have what it takes to make a nice pour over—once you get this four-piece set for $23.79, anyway. With a glass mug, a filter dripper, a lid, and a protective case (and great reviews), it’s got everything you need.

A mug warmer

To keep your java the perfect temperature when you’re too busy to drink it, grab a mug warmer, like this one for $25.59. It comes in a variety of colors to suit your desk’s aesthetic and features an easy-to-read temperature display and automatic shutoff, so you won’t burn the place down overnight.

A milk frother

Do you need foamed milk atop your espresso? Then you need a little foamer. Try this one for $7.17. All the reviews use words like “powerful” to describe it, and that’s what you need.
