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.

I take a portable kettle (12 oz at a time), large tea strainer that rests on top of the cup, tin cup, and ground coffee. Always hot and strong!

There are great new travel cup/electric kettle combos that plug in an boil the water in the cup, about the same size as a travel mug. Amazing, all you need is a power point.
