Workplace tea setup?

I keep my tea cleverly disguised as mustard:
And I use one of these:
I drink mostly blacks and oolongs but I don't think puerh would be much trouble with a few changes in setup. Switch the infuser out for a pot and the jars out for something more conducive to holding a cake.

Dayi gaiwan and cups. Metal strainer and stand. Fair cup. Electric kettle. All sitting on a while(ish) kitchen towel.
I still drink mostly oolongs at work but that's because they require less attention to brew well.

I drink almost exclusively pu-erh at work and do not find it to be a bother. I do however cheat a bit by some standards. I do not usually use either a gaiwan or a Yixing pot. Instead, I find that one of these works just fine: http://www.adagio.com/teaware/ingenuiTEA_teapot.html?SID=821a5020a1358dfa869fe6750670bc23
Hope I don't get turned into the pu-erh police for this post. I could have my pu-erh infusing license revoked indefinitely for an infraction like this.

My work sessions have been less than thrilling, so I'm thinking of getting one of those. I think they're $13 at the local Fairways (plus the million I'll spend on other things there).
Actually the Adagio device is fine (lets the leaves swim around freely). I think the below warrant puerh infusing license revocation
Free the puerh leaves

I have a portable tea table I got from Steve. That plus a gaiwan and cup and I have a perfect pu'er setup at work. I am drinking as we speak.

I've had that same tea table for a year now and it's doing just fine. Perfect size to have next to the computer so I can' Sip 'n Surf.
Simple cup with large bore immersing strainer. I drink Pu gung-fu style...works well. Little disconcerting drinking out of a metal cup but at this time the entire thing is so thick with a tea-patina that not sure the liquid actually touches the metal
