Coffee people -- is starbucks via worth it? I will be traveling to a non-coffee area of the world soon, and am debating french press vs. via. Hot water will be freely available.

Seriously. Buy the Italian blend packets problem solved if you have hot water.

OP, you crack me up. Surely you can find a solution to your coffee that isn't a 12 cup pot. Some good ideas here- Via, mini Keurig, 4 cup pot, and Amazon prime delivery.

No good coffee in Brazil!!! Now I've heard it all!


I have heard it all over the years. Can't get decent chocolate in Belgium, bread in France, coffee in Brazil, vodka in Russia, beer all over Europe. It's all people who are not travelers and anything not familiar is not as good as we have in Dayton.

Kind of funny though!

TSA sees a weird object and checks your bag. What's the problem?

Anyhow, get a metal French press that's small and can't be broken in your luggage, bring your own coffee (make sure it's ground for French press) and boil the water in the in room maker.

I want to say problem solved but I..won't. But I will say you must have a lot of quirks - this is definitely an odd one.



I think OP is a little nuts, but what in-room coffee maker have you seen that will boil water? I've seen electric kettles in the UK where tea service is standard, but those coffee makers in US hotels don't get the water even hot enough for coffee.

The only thing I could think of is something large enough to microwave 12-20 oz of water, then either a pour-over basket or a French press, but not glass. Maybe a small 4 cup coffee maker:

OP is pretentious AND ignorant...a winning DCUM combination!

This! Get over yourself--and your coffee. Neither of you are that special.

Can't you get one of those Melitta cones with a filter for it? It only makes one cup at a time, but how many do you drink at a time?

I was about to suggest this. I'm also picky with my coffee. There's no reason to lug around a drip coffee maker, when you can easily do a pour over.. Of course, you'll need to be able to boil or at least heat water..
