How to set it up
- Mount a short shelf at about eye level above the desk, or use a freestanding one.
- Keep the dripper and mug on the shelf and the beans in a drawer.
- Brew a cup during a break to step away from the screen.
Make it feel like a café
- Keep liquids on the shelf, not on the desk, to protect your laptop.
- Use a pour-over so the corner stays quiet.
- Add a small plant for a bit of green.
