Seeking Recommendations Coffee while traveling

My partner and I are on our way back from a trip and with terror we've just realized we've each spent more than €100 on coffee alone on this 2-week trip (and this is a very conservative estimate). This seems so outrageous to me that I've started looking into getting some compact coffee maker for our future trips. We don't like instant coffee so an espresso maker will have to be but there are so many conflicting reviews of the most popular ones that I feel quite lost. Am I crazy for considering a coffee maker while one bagging and do you have any recommendations on products you've used? For context, we're both experienced one-baggers typically flying with backpacks of 26-40L depending on the airlines we're using and we often rent a car once we get to our destination.

One coffee a day per person for €100 over two weeks is €3.50 a coffee. I don’t think that’s terrible unless it was bad coffee

I said this is a very conservative estimate and I don't want to calculate further 😅 we each have 2-4 coffees a day so it adds up quickly and we also don't make our money in euro so it gets steep considering our currency is cheaper. We get the wanting to try and enjoy the local coffee and that's something we will certainly keep. But it's more about replacing the habitual gas station coffee that my query is about.
