These devices, tools and gadgets can help you brew coffee or tea when at the office. Not just at work, but anyplace where you may be short of space. You can turn your desk into your own private coffee house, or tea room.

1. Black & Decker Brew 'N Go

Black and Decker Brew n Go Coffee Maker
A tiny little coffee maker that you can use at your desk. You'll need an electrical outlet though. Your coffee is brewed straight into the included travel mug.

2. Reusable Tea Bags

Cotton Tea Bags
These are great if you use your own blends of loose tea. It could be awkward to store a canister of tea under your desk, so these bags can be handy to transport your tea to work.

3. Plunger Pot (French Press)

French Press
As long as you have access to a kettle (in the lunchroom perhaps?), you can have fresh brewed coffee or tea using a plunger pot. No filters to worry about. These are great for tea or coffee.

4. Bodum Mini Ibis Kettle
