How to Brew Better Coffee on Vacation

Are you a coffee enthusiast who can't imagine starting your day without a good cup of coffee? Are you planning a vacation and worried about missing out on your caffeine fix while away from home? Fear not, fellow coffee lovers! In this post, we're going to discuss tips and supplies needed to brew the best coffee on vacation. Let's dive in!

1. Choose Your Coffee Method: There are several ways to brew coffee while on vacation, but our favorites are the AeroPress and pour-over like this one. These are both fairly easy to pack and don't require electricity, making it ideal for camping trips or hotel rooms without coffee makers. Alternatively, you can opt for our fully compostable K-Cups for a quick and easy caffeine fix. Of course, this option will only work if you have access to a Keurig style brewer.

2. Bring High-Quality Beans: The key to brewing the best coffee is always using high-quality beans. Many vacation destinations don't have specialty coffee shops or markets. That's why it's important to bring your own beans from home, or order them online and have them shipped to your destination.

3. Use The Right Water: No matter what brewing method you choose, using fresh water is crucial to the taste and quality of your coffee. You can't always trust the tap water quality while traveling, so bring a bottle of spring water or make your own water (using distilled water, and add minerals like Third Wave Water) to ensure a clean and tasty cup.

4. Pack the Essentials: Don't forget to pack all the essentials for brewing coffee on vacation. You'll need a travel mug, a grinder if you bring whole beans, coffee filters, and a kettle or stovetop pot for boiling water over a campfire. You can also pack a small scale to make sure you're using the correct coffee-to-water ratio for the perfect cup every time.

Brewing the best coffee on vacation doesn't have to be difficult or stressful. By choosing the right brewing method, high-quality beans, good water, and packing all the essentials, you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee no matter where your adventure takes you.

So, pack your bags and get caffeinated for your next adventure!
