I will not live like that. Kureg..Keureg? You know, the pod things are as far down the coffee food chain as I can go and I only do that in desperation,......I mean....sometimes, you Neeeeeeed coffee, or the closest thing.

We bring freshly roasted beans from local roasters from home or on the road. Have couple grinders, one for my drip or percolator and one specific to the Flair brand espresso maker. From my understanding, coffee should be roasted then allowed breath for 3-4 days to ripen. And sometimes we just get Duncan Donuts coffee(whole bean or ground) or Folgers Breakfast Blend....I also kind of like Hills Bros and MJB.....yeah, I know, no class at all!

We carry the EIGHT O'CLOCK 100 percent Colombian Peaks coffee... Comes in a large bag..

We can make coffee in about five minutes using our CUISINART Grind and Brew Coffee maker... This pours up into a Thermos carafe so power is only needed for five minutes... Then everything shuts off...

We get the same good taste by bringing our own bottled water with us to make coffee with...

Coffee maker usually setup on a table just outside the POPUP trailer door...

have no idea what you mean by roasting your own coffee beans... I guess mine is pre-roasted in a bag from EIGHT O'CLOCK...

I have been using the Cuisinart for years. I am on my 3rd one...

It goes with me any time I travel regardless of accommodations... Tent, RV or hotel.

I love the timer feature. Laying in bed in the morning I hear the grinder kick off. That is my alarm clock. Wander into the kitchen to find fresh ground and brewed coffee waiting for me.

Unfortunately, I have had to cut back on my morning coffee for health reasons. I still love a really good cup of coffee.

Folgers? HELL NO! :)

I don't roast my own beans, but do carry whole bean (Usually Sumatra Mandheling beans) & grind a pot's worth each morning.

Just as important as roasting and is the WATER you use to make your coffee. Use chlorine infused skunk water and the beans just don't matter much.

If any of you roast your own beans, do you roast in camp or put up with preroasted coffee?

About '04 Dr told me "If your blood pressure was any higher, would need to put you on meds, and short cycle for physical. Among other things I decided to reduce the amount off coffee. But I also decided when I drank my daily coffee, it would be best coffee I could do. Found that if I stored them right I could not improve on the roast at a local place. In the truck, and now only camper I carry a grinder, couple of small presses, bottled water, and a jet boil to heat.
I got the stainless steel presses from Star$, and when I want to I can sip hot decaf out of one for about 4 hours.
BTW, I still don't take Meds.

Because I'm usually up by 05:00, I use a Presto My Jo, coffee maker. About $0.30 cents per cup, pre-roasted in a self contained pod and just a small amount of propane per cup.

I'm with Jayco-noslide, even to the brand, although I brew six cups (which equal two mugs! I drink one, and refrigerate the second for the next day which means I get my second (3-cup) mug in 2.25 minutes with the microwave! As good as the day before!

Coffee is thousands of years old. Only recently have people come up with so many gadgets and rituals. Take some roasted Arabica beans and put them in a bandana. Crush them with a rock. Put a handful of grounds into any vessel with cold water and heat it to a boil. Take it off the heat and let it sit. Then add a small amount of cold water to settle the grounds. There you go.
