Corporate (caffeine-induced) Perks

Corporate America. This is where I work. Isn’t it beautiful?















A few months ago, several improvements went into effect at my office. Colorfully repainted walls, a relaxed dress code and a less painful morning staff meeting schedule were all part of the plan – but the best improvement is the amazing new coffee maker. Behold.















It'll make your choice of coffee, espresso beverage or hot chocolate at the press of a button. Now I need go no farther than the office kitchen for the jolting treats that have become a mainstay in my adult life. (I'm currently working on figuring out if I can also get this machine to take care of the pesky monthly reports -- I'll keep you posted.)

The process goes something like this:

1. Place a receptacle in the designated area to capture the sweet blackened water. Then, choose your blend -- the LA-ubiquitous Wolfgang Puck has provided several.













2. Open the drawer and insert the single serving coffee brew pod.













3. Select your drink or brew.

















4. Magic!















5. Return to work comforted and reinvigorated, as made possible by a good cup of coffee. Thank you Office Gods!

Now if only all office chairs had a special suck and wipe feature, followed by an omni-directional spritz of Febreeze, we'd get even more done.
