[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP of this thread from two years ago.  I re-read my original posts, and some of the responses, but not the entire thing.

First I'd like to take responsibility for not explaining the situation accurately in my initial post.   In the interest of trying to keep things more "general," I described myself as being "picky about my coffee" and made it sound like I would only drink coffee I made for myself.   
The true situation (which I believe I did explain in a later post) was that I was going to be in Disney World for a  running race.

I would not have my own car, because I planned to take the "Magical Express" from the airport to the hotel.   
On the morning of the race, I would need to be ready for the bus transportation to the start line no later than 3:30 am, so before the food courts at my hotel were open--so no, going to the food court for coffee in the morning was not an option.
Since I did not have a car, going to the local 7-11 or similar for morning coffee was not an option.
The ONLY way for me to have a cup of coffee in the morning before the race would be to fix it in the room myself.  I COULD have used the type provided by Disney, but I just don't like that kind.

I was waking up at 2:30 in the morning to run 13.1 miles in late April Florida heat, and all I wanted was to be able to have a cup of coffee first.   If that makes me "the most high  maintenance" person you've ever heard of, then I don't know what to say.   I'm sure you regularly wake up before 2 am to run long distance in 70+ degree weather and are simply AMAZING.

For what it's worth, I ended up buying a 5 cup coffee maker with a stainless steel carafe and brought that along, and it worked just fine.  [/quote]
