The problem is that there is no good equivalent of the tea bag for coffee; there are coffee bags but coffee goes stale quickly and you rarely hear about them being used. Generally, either you use instant coffee crystals which many coffee drinkers don't like or you brew it somehow. Since coffee drinking guests are likely to prefer brewed coffee if given the option, this thread tries to provide simple options to provide that without requiring OP to buy a bulky machine that they'll hardly ever use. If anyone knows of a good individual coffee bag, that might be an alternative for OP.

My husband is that guy who cares too much about the coffee he drinks. That said, he comes prepared with everything the needs to make it anywhere he can get hot water. He uses these filter bags that sit on top of the cup and swears by them. They are cheap, take up very little space, and combined with a well-sealing container of ground coffee will more than meet the needs of any guests you have.

I'm the PP and I meant to add that if you decide to go for instant, my coffee snob husband likes Saturnbird (if you want to spend a little more) and the Illy Intenso (if you want to spend less). The Saturnbird containers are fun and I've given them as gifts before, so if you are entertaining it's a nice thing to put out.

Not the OP but thanks to all for the good suggestions. Great to have new things to try.

Just get a small Nespresso machine. Your guests will appreciate it.
