Coffee in the hotel room is out of the question.
The stuff from the "free" breakfast is usually worse.
I'm a operations engineer in the oil field, so I'm sitting out in some field all day in a van...I've at least trained the guys to at least rinse the coffee pot once a month or so (don't laugh, it is an improvement). This also rules out finding a good local place since I'm normally in the middle of nowhere.
Big thermos: I'm set.
Beans: I'm a home roaster, so my supply remains pretty good.
Brewing: perhaps one of those pour over deals and an electric kettle.
That brings me to the grinder. One of those hand grinders? Those Zassenhaus (sp?) grinders with the wooden box are fantastic, but I think that might make the kit a little too big. A whirly blade? Bite the bullet and, gasp, grind coffee for the week before I leave out? Any body have a travel coffee 'kit' and willing to share some ideas?
