When the only space for coffee is in my room:

I share a house with 4 other adults, and I have to have coffee before I deal with leaving my room. I am the only one who drinks dark roast. The kitchen sink is often filled to the brim with someone else’s dishes (I have my own dishes/cook my own food) so I have my own little coffee oasis on my workstation. My coffee pot, while absolutely not fancy, is exactly big enough for two cups of coffee. Eventually I go down and help clean up the kitchen, but this little spot is the highlight of my morning. When I do, I bring down my coffee stuff to wash and bring up fresh water for the next pot.

One day I will upgrade to a tiny little fridge for milk when I find one quiet enough, but in the meantime, this works extremely well!

Besides, this lets me take my coffee straight back into bed with me!
