3) Push your boss for an upgraded coffee machine at work
Considering the majority of coffee drinkers will be those getting up at stupid o’clock to get a train/bus/tram etc to arrive at work often before the sun has even risen it makes sense to Get your boss to install a decent coffee maker at work + take your own flask for the commute.
This Coffee Machine + these beans + these glasses + these takeaway style mugs are all recommended by the 10ways team.
