compact coffee maker for business trip

[DoraExplorer]

Hi there, I hope you're doing well!
I always cook coffee, I got used to drinking coffee every day. Next 2 months I'll be living in a hotel, because of the business trip. I'd like to buy a portable coffee machine, to take it with me. I mean something like this stuff. Cooking coffee in cezve in the hotel is not being considered, it's too much hassle. I don't have experience with coffee makers, so I'd like to discover all the ropes before I buy it. Is there somebody who stopped cooking coffee themselves and switched to coffee makers?

I’d think about something like the aero press or a pour over Setup. Both make a good cup of coffee.

From a prior experience I lived in the same hotel room mon-fri for almost 6 months. Talk to the manager, they may have a way to help. Then if not you can amazon one of the single cup systems and have it in a day or two. Good luck.

Three portable choices:

1. Portable electric percolator
2. Simple pour over with filters
3. Small French Press



The percolator is 8” high by 4” in diameter
French press is 6 1/2 by @ 3”
I’ve used all in hotelling.

Aeropress is about as small and high quality as you can get at a really good price.
Target has them last time I looked.
We have traveled for years with one and my wife loves the coffee out of it. Plus the grounds are like a puck so quick and easy clean up.

Snowpeak coffee press - I use mine every day (including at home).

Titanium French Press

The Titanium French Press is made of Japanese titanium using a historic manufacturing process. The French Press offers an elevated coffee experience, whether at home or in nature. Single-wall titanium can be set directly over a heat source to boil water, simplifying the coffee-making process...

When you say.. "Take it with me" do you mean TO the hotel, or back home when you leave the hotel?

The quality if the coffee you drink could also play into your decision.
Buying whole bean, single origin, specialty coffee with a score over 85
vs something that is pre-ground and comes in a fold down bag or resealable can.

Get something when you arrive at your destination..
Buying an electric kettle and a french press may be simplest..no filters, dump the grounds in the toilet and it will allow for tea.
or a simple all-in-one style Mr Coffee 1,4, or 12 cup type.



It's called "instant coffee" for a reason

French Press coffee pot recommendation - Cruisers & Sailing Forums

2 of the glass pieces of the Starbucks french press coffee pots have been broken on board when washing . They seem so fragile when out of the holder for cleaning . Is there a more robust make out

If you choose to use the hotel room coffee maker... Run some vinegar through it before you drink the coffee you make.

How Dirty Is Your Hotel Room Coffeemaker?

Before you pour yourself a free cup of joe from that hotel room coffeemaker, ask yourself—does it come with a side germs?

The Aeropress is just like a french press but cleanup is super easy as it ends as a puck of ground that you can push out into the trash and a quick wipe with a papertowel and you are done

Not if you get the titanium one. You whack it to empty it.

There are all sorts of coffee makers you can buy at Walmart for under $20.00. Not really much of an issue.

Personally I think a Mocha pot makes the best coffee second only to a huge barista machine. If you get an electric Mocha pot like this one you will be very happy

The linked one is a really good Italian machine, does 110 & 230v so you can travel all over the world with it and enjoy first class coffee.

Another option for a good cup of coffee in the morning while away from home is Starbucks Via instants.
All you need is a cup, a way to boil water (hotel microwave, jet boil, etc...) and any fix-ins you like.
Costco sells a 2-pack of 26 packets, so that should cover you for two weeks. They're also a god send when on the trail. Good luck.
