Keith's Top Picks for Coffee at Home

Posted May 24, 2017

Break time at the office often means heading to the break room and pouring yourself a hot cup of coffee while chatting with co-workers. For the home-based worker, things are a bit different. How do you keep the coffee flowing during your home office hours without dealing with stale java or constant kitchen breaks?

Consider placing a single-serve coffee maker in your home office. The no-mess brewing machine takes up little space, and you don't have to worry about drinking up a whole carafe of java before it gets cold. If your daily craving for coffee is a little higher, go for an insulated carafe that keeps your brew fresh throughout your heated work session.

If you're sticking to drip coffee, experiment with roasts to find one that fits your tastes. Working from home may mean brewing your own java, but it also means choosing the best brewing supplies. Don't be afraid to splurge on flavored sweeteners or gourmet roasts. You deserve it. Want to enjoy the perfect cup every time? Browse Office Depot for products hand-selected for the home office worker.
