Coffee For Campers And Travellers

Problem
How do you make yourself a decent coffee when travelling, like the one you get from your pod machine at home?

Answer
You can buy a traveller's coffee maker with a built in cup and it takes a coffee capsule.

We knew it would work, because we already had an earlier model which takes ground coffee. You have to dampen it down, which is a bit of a palaver.

A member of my family was given the new version which takes capsules as a birthday present.

We tried it out and compared it with our at home machine. The difference is that the big machine makes more of a 'creme' on top. But the coffee underneath is the strength and brand you have at home if you take the capsules with you. We have caffeinated and decaffeinated capsules.

If your hotel or restaurant can't do a proper coffee decaffeinated, or you are camping, you can still have a decaff after dinner coffee. You will want your own supply of drinkable water, bottled water, plus milk and sugar if you take milk and sugar in your coffee.

If you are flying, you might have to buy your milk and water at the other end of the flight.

You might also buy coffee capsules abroad.
