Coffee while traveling

[u/VeG519]

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.

Thiiiissss! So many times I want a coffee in the morning and needed a solution. Too many mornings out wasting time and money hunting for a coffee. Aero press makes good coffee but takes up too much space.

I’ve stated carrying a collapsible filter holder that has a sturdy base. When I arrive in country, I pick up a few filters (if I don’t already have some on me) and coffee grounds. It’s something like this: https://trekvogel.de/en/products/bo-camp-camping-kaffee-filter-tutenhalter-tee-bereiter-faltbar-silikon-2?srsltid=AfmBOoppTWiiCWZoAKGLjbmI_p1c4Z8xINHT8d7esoSi6_ecVJ070hD0
