I do the same as you Connie. I travel with a small travel coffeemaker. I usually buy local coffee beans and have the store grind them for me. This way, I can get up in the morning, have a quick cup of decent coffee while I watch the news on TV. (I'm going to get hell for staying in hotels that have TV's and also watching the news. You do what you want on your vacation and I'll do what I want.)
But back to coffee, I'm not a morning person and it takes me awhile to get going. So, after my cup in the room, I then get dressed and go out for a second, or third cup of local coffee along with breakfast.
I just oredered a new travel coffeemaker made by Voltage Valet. It's dual voltage and "brews" an eight ounce cup of coffee. It weighs about a pound.
And for those who now want to complain about the extra weight---how about that full size laptop you insist on..or curling iron....or bulky camera equipment. You take what you want and I'll take what I want.
Thanks for letting me vent
